But only up to a certain point. We all arbitrarily draw a line where we care about other people.

I tend to think of these things like the ending of Titantic.

There is only so much you can do to 'care' for other people, but would you risk swamping the lifeboats...? How hard would you fight to be the first one on those boats then?

I had a feeling that this was going to start to happen. You cant just shut down peoples livelihoods and think sending them a mere $1200 is going to cover them for an indefinite period of time. Im afraid we will probably begin to see riots if they try to drag this out past May. Going to have to at least begin phasing stuff back to normalcy soon and just bite the bullet unfortunately.


DOES AMERICA WANT TO DIE?!
Like let's see why that could all die from being stupid:
  1. People get into crowds to protest staying inside - YOU'RE MEANT TO BE APART YOU MORONS! DON'T GATHER! YOU'LL ALL CATCH IT!
  2. Lots of people think its not real - how real will it be when you're dying?! Huh?!
  3. Trump. THAT IDIOT STOPS FUNDING 2BN. A YEAR TO THE WHO, THEY'RE THE ONES WHO WILL BE SAVING YOU WHEN YOU'RE ON YOUR DEATHBED TRUMP, YOU OLD MAN!
  4. People being idiots- people having a lower IQ than a chicken.
(Sorry if I've offended anyone with this, but I believe it is a serious matter and I'm passionate about people not dying!).

The annoying thing is you can't even arrest these people, since throwing them in jail could just spread the virus in a tightly confined space, if even 1 of them has it.

Fines should be in order.

Who said anything about it being for personal safety!? People might get hurt because of car accidents that they didnt cause, or hazards that were totally someone elses fault. If only essential people would be allowed to go out thered be a lot fewer injuries to them because all the deplorables would be locked away inside where they belong, unable to cause harm to anyone important.

A whole lot of people hold the attitude of "let people take the risk of getting it if they want to," which fundamentally misunderstands the danger here.

The key difference being that none of those are contagious, meaning you don't see exponential growth happen if you let them happen without restriction (though the examples you've cited typically do have some sorts of regulations restricting their ability to do harm, so even that's not a valid analogy for letting people wander freely amid a pandemic). This virus is contagious enough that, if people go about their business as normal, pretty much the entire population can be expected to get it, and that will happen far faster than hospitals would be able to handle and result in hundreds of thousands of deaths in the span of a couple months. The scale of this is far, far greater than you seem to realize.

Once vaccines are available and PPE production catches up to demand, it'll be safe enough for life to start getting back to normal. Until then, the only way this pandemic isn't going to be completely disastrous is if people stay home as much as possible. Yes, that's going to have some terrible economic impacts. But economies recover. The dead don't.

The problem with this statement is that YOU DON'T KNOW if Covid-19 will hit you or not, as evidenced by people who take care of themselves, aren't over 60, etc. who have still contracted Covid. While the percentage of people who will die from Covid is projected to be around 4% (which is nearly 11 or 12 million people, by the way) in the US, only God KNOWS if you and your family will be affected or not.

They're hoping your memory is so poor that you'll forget the fact that he was ignoring it and calling it a hoax, and saying the fact that they tried to cut off travel to China was all they had to do before the Democrats slashed our only hope at survival.

Uh, no, shut up. he shouldn't have fired the pandemic response team. But he did because he has no clue what he's doing. Lmao. He's killed so many of his own voters with his thick skull already, and here you are getting mad and waving his flag around, because Darwinism doesn't work anymore.

So today they changed the regulations where we no longer had to count employees in the headcount for capacity. I thought it would take our lines from an average of 6 to an average of 1 or 2.

No we had 10 people consistently in line all day to get in with a maximum for the day being 21 people in line.

Every day just gets busier and people increasingly refuse to stay home.

I guess I get what you're saying. You're saying you believe that many people are getting other non-essential products from grocery stores, and other essential business that are still open, correct? I guess I could buy that as somewhat of an explanation, but do you really think people should be going out and buying a bunch of non essential things and cramming into stores every single day when there's a pandemic going on?

I used to go out every day, and I would go food shopping sometimes multiple times per week, go out to eat, etc. I've only been out 3-4 times since this pandemic started. I'm definitely not going out more by any stretch of the imagination, so why would it be necessary for others to go out more if they're actually following recommendations? And even the amount of times that I am going to a supermarket is less than usual because I'm trying to reduce the number of shopping trips I make.
