Sit at home and pretend you're doing social distancing (sure Jan), enjoy those amazing government paychecks and wait 6 months until the virus is miraculously gone? I have to laugh. Just wait until the world goes in another World War, half of the population won't make it cause y'all are too busy posting nudes on twitter. Oh god, the overreaction y’all are way more dramatic than those who want to stay in quarantine for a bit longer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masks are mandatory, there’s legal punishment for being in groups, and anything that’s not considered essential is closed. I don’t agree with delivery, but when grocery stores that used to be open 24 hours are now only open for a limited amount of time, what’s a night shift worker or a nurse that works overtime supposed to do when their free time only occurs when everything is closed? Sometimes buying groceries isn’t even an option depending on when you wake up, when you work and when you get home because of these limited store hours. Here, there are more restaurants open at 10PM than grocery stores, so if you aren’t able to stock up on food, going out is the only way. I really don’t get why they limited the hours of Wal-Mart so much. It just forces everyone to go within that limited amount of time and increases the likelihood of spreading the virus. I tend to like going to Wal-Mart after midnight because there’s little to no concentration of people, and if that were possible now, less people would be showing up in one smaller time period. It should be open most of the day with maybe a few hours of closing to properly disinfect everything. But now because of this stupid policy, social distancing is harder because I’m forced to get groceries at the same time as everyone else is forced to, which means more people are likely to spread the virus between each other. My depression from all this has destroyed my sleep schedule as it has many others, so there are weeks I literally won’t even be awake while grocery stores are open, and am only up after they close. So if I didn’t stock up in time, a restaurant becomes a requirement for me to get food. This could be fixed, but someone’s work shifts can’t necessarily be changed, especially in these times. There’s very few businesses here that are open. It’s certainly a lockdown. All of our grocery stores are open 14 hours a day, seven days a week. Nurses do not work 98 hour work weeks and they do not work seven days a week. Most people can get to the grocery store sometime between 6 a.m. and 9 p.m. If all else fails, you can order groceries on line from grocery stores or Walmart, and pick them up after work or even have them delivered to your home. They have a no contact policy and will set the groceries in your trunk or on your porch with no contact. NY is in more lockdown mode than anywhere else in the US. Still, people are all over the place and still going out to get fast food, take-out, walk dogs, exercise, etc. Compared to other countries where you see the authorities stoping anyone out to check their purpose for being out, the US has been pretty lax with their lockdowns.

Adakam 2 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 This rethoric of "free the country" "give me my freedom back" "muh rights" its so annoying, stupid, and dangerous.

darkchylde 14,857 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 60k people have died in a month without lockdown. there are around a million confirmed cases. what the fck is wrong with this bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyCapiLover 4,389 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 This is dangerous to say that as someone with so much power. People that are protesting are the same people that believe in pizzagate and others conspiracies theory, and he's encouraging them. It's not because is powerful and smart that it means that he's always smart. He's clearly acting like a **** Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that the lockdowns are meant to create distsncing between people...to prevent mass transmission... But... The economy needs to function, and unless they start opening up non hazardous sections of public activity, even in limited fashion, there will be more protests and civil unrest.... Current leadership is totally inept..(Trump) like a cat in a sil, I observe life, moving and still.

The flu is extremely unique and you can’t just say “well, the flu does it so corona will too lolololo” That’s not what I’m saying at all. Please read and understand before you make dumb comments. I said there might be a yearly shot or a shot one takes every several years due to corona viruses mutating. Which is lithe only comparison to flu, which also mutates. This is a probability so there is no arguing or saying “it isn’t true”. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason this pandemic started is because of a dangerous mutation, and it’s literally been 100 years since the last major global pandemic.

However there have been quite a lot of major outbreaks in Asia since then. Weren’t you the one that suggested not comparing a corona virus to the flu? And how does your argument even make sense? You said the reason this virus started was because of a dangerous mutation. My argument was literally corona viruses mutate. You sound a little confused lol.

You said the reason this virus started was because of a dangerous mutation. My argument was literally corona viruses mutate. You sound a little confused lol. The last manor pandemic was a flu, but I didn’t say that corona virus acts like the flu like you suggested. A dangerous mutation (extremely rare) is much different from *any* mutation (common and usually makes no difference). You’re argument is that since coronaviruses mutate at all, we will need booster vaccines or different vaccines. Which is very unlikely to be true. Your reasoning was, “well the flu mutates and we need a yearly flu vaccine,” which is not an adequate comparison. Did that clear up the confusion for you?
