Coronavirus - are we all doomed? (1 Viewer)

This is because they think the advice to isolate etc is an infringement of their civil rights to freedom blah blah. Is this true? What is the matter with these people?
In the UK, we have total lockdown except for those unable to work from home, all shops, restaurants cafes- everything are closed. We want to end this, even if the USA doesn't.

What's in the "blah blah" is the core of America.

By and large most people understand the seriousness of it. Here in my State only essential business's are open. I can still go to the grocery store and try and find something to eat. I can go to a hardware store and get stuff to fix broken items in my home, etc. In the beginning of all of this, our stores looked like they belonged in cold-war Russia, that is getting slowly back to normal now. I can go walk, kayak (if I had one and the desire), I can fish on a boat if it's to feed my family, i can't go recreational boating.... etc.

Mostly it's being accepted. But recently there were some protests in the States Capital after the Governor extended the school/business/stay-at-home order an additional two weeks. The problem a lot of people have is it seems this is never ending. First two weeks, then a month more, then before we're through the month, an additional two weeks. At first it was - the science says masks only helps if you have it, now we're told the science says it helps no matter what. Plus, then the Governor week after week just kept putting on new laws and fining/arresting people. Like hey, I can understand you really can't have beaches be wide open to a bunch of people - but is it really worthwhile to arrest one guy by himself on that same closed beach? It seems a warning first, fine second is more appropriate.

And a lot just isn't understood. why can I go on a fishing charter where it's impossible to get 6 feet apart, but hairdressers cannot be open when they could wear masks and practice safer things (face shields), etc. Why can I go into a grocery store with a mask, that at times isn't social distancing, but Churches are closed when they could wear masks and have distancing. It seems - inconsistent. Not that I'd have any better method for determining things but I can understand the confusion.

Then add to all of that, in my State/County was completely unprepared for any situation like this. Those parents fortunate enough to home school are having to juggle work, homeschooling, etc. while the teachers provide a whole whopping 1/2 hour video time a week when they read a book to all the kids that are able to join. Other parts of the same State do video every day.

On a side note I just got another slap on the hand from Colin about an inappropriate comment. Go figure

I did no such thing, I certainly wouldn't send you a PM, and you make too many inappropriate comments to bother with.

Does anyone know what happened to Covids 1 to 18?

Did you know the name of the virus is SARS-CoV-2
The virus is a known virus from 2003. I thought it's a new one.

And before anyone says this is because Trumps and idiot, it has to do with individual Governors (50) of them calling their own shots. States Rights remember?

IMO - she's not based in reality. The reality today, now is there are plenty of people who want to work for the most obvious reasons - but no jobs that can have them work.

So go ahead, boycott. Boycotting isn't a bail-out situation.

Right? Plus wouldn't an illegal immigrant come and snatch those low paying jobs anyway? Priceless.
 
She belongs on network news as an anchor. How did Trump not hire her?
 
Well he's certainly been irradiating himself with UV :sneaky:.

I 'm looking forward to hearing the reasons that the numerous Trump supporters here at AWF will use to defend such uninformed, foolish and dangerous comments

Numerous lol, there maybe 3-4. And that's really pushing it.😏

Why don't we just put on gloves and masks and go back to work? Seems to work in other countries.

Well I've just come up with six fervent Trump supporters off the top of my head ...all of whom post frequently here... and that's without checking through recent threads
Anyway, please do inform us why you believe Trump's comments to be a wise and sensible contribution to the current situation regarding COVID

There is no point it would be twisted into something unrecognizable similar to your comment of numerous fervent Trump supporters. It only feels that way Colin. :ROFLMAO:

November is not that far away, the American people can vote him out, if they do not like the job he is doing.
