I really want to know how many deaths you are willing to cause to have your freedom to go and do as you want without face masks and social distancing. We have lowered the expected number of deaths by stay at home,masks and social distancing, but if we go back to life before the epidemic, there will be many more deaths and you may be the one to cause them. If you get the virus and never show signs, you could spread the disease to hundreds of people and if the death rate remains almost 6% of the number you infect will die. I read people cheering for those in Michigan who forced the elected legislature to close using guns to intimidate the elected representatives of the state. A majority wore no masks and the certainly did not socially distance, so I wonder how many will get the virus and spread it. When the gun toters came to the Wisconsin capital to protest, they did not force their way into the building, more than two dozen of those protesters now have the disease and you have to know they passed it to others before they had the signs of the disease show up. So how many of those protesters in Michigan will have the disease and how many people will they kill, perhaps including themselves, when they pass it on. So I ask you, how many people are you willing to send to their deaths so you can have your freedom?

During WW2, it was over 400,000.
 
I don't understand how freedom is lost in this case. A representative democracy is making decisions on the basis of public health. There's no loss of freedom there. Freedom means rights and representation. We still have those.
 
1) I really want to know how many deaths you are willing to cause to have your freedom to go and do as you want without face masks and social distancing. We have lowered the expected number of deaths by stay at home,masks and social distancing, but if we go back to life before the epidemic, there will be many more deaths and you may be the one to cause them.

4) So I ask you, how many people are you willing to send to their deaths so you can have your freedom?

1) Having the freedom for other businesses to open up (as many are now) does not require ignoring the use of PPE and/or "social distancing".

2) The chances of any given individual spreading the disease to hundreds of others is remote. The COVID-19 moratlity rate is not anywhere near 6%.

3) Yep, many morons particpated in those protests. It should also be noted that having "more than two dozen" infected protestors did not raise the MI (or WI?) infected count by (many?) hundreds.

4) The idea that anyone 'non-essential' who returns to work (or patronizes a 'non-essential' business) is going to infect hundreds of others (thus sending many to their deaths?) is simply your assumption. That assumption seems to rely heavily on those returning to work (or being customers) not using PPE and/or practicing "social distancing" as much as possible.

Let's lower the speed limit to 15 MPH, 5 in residential areas.

Think of all the lives you'll save.
 
Since when does freedom mean the ability to break the law without consequence? That's not freedom, that's criminal. Criminals being free of responsibility is not freedom for anyone.

Give me a get out of jail free card or give me death?

That's not a thing.
 
Government doesn't have a right to restrict freedom of movement of an individual.

However government DOES have the POWER. And they have guns. Big ones. So when government orders me to close my business or I'll be put in prison, I will close my business. I don't want to go to jail.

But that's not freedom - - not even close.

“When the government fears the people there is liberty. When the people fear the government there is tyranny.” - Thomas Jefferson

You don't see how millions of Americans being forbidden to earn a living by generally illegal and unConstitutional orders is a threat to freedom?

Why then are their speed limits at all? Don't they infringe on your freedom to drive at any speed you desire?

I will add this:

In the time since the WI 'Liberate!' demonstration, a bit over 1900 WI cases have come up, with 72 attributed specifically to what the infected call "a large gathering" (which is believed to be the demonstration). So, by my math it seems this crowd added almost 4% to the infection totals by that one rally alone. But is that, it? What about their meeting & interactions in planning & organizing the event? And what do they add due to their not following proper mitigation in their daily routines? Do they add 8%? 10%? 20%? And how many fatalities does that translate to?

To call them a 'menace to society' might sound hyperbolic. But I think at the least we can say they are causing us additional harm, suffering, and death. That might fit the definition of 'menace', to some.

From Oxford:

men·ace
/ˈmenəs/
noun
a person or thing that is likely to cause harm; a threat or danger.

You're stuck in a victim vortex created by a group held victim complex. You need to find the exit. There's a small device that has many buttons. It's near the Truth Panel that displays Fox for you. Push any number buttons on the device, any at all. If the Truth Panel changes, like starts saying crazy stuff, you have succeeded. The first step is important but there's still a long way to go.

Exactly. There is no loss of freedom. There is anarchy, though, and armed at that.

The important thing is Trump needs the economy to open up to improve his election chances. Tens of thousands of deaths are worthwhile if it helps Trump personally. Anyone on FOX and Friends can tell you that.
 
Civilians don't count? Especially Jews?

But i guess you did say OVER 400,000. More than 10 also.

I was referring to US deaths. The Holocaust victims didn't sacrifice their lives for freedom. That's some ****ed up ****.

A pretty good number of British, French, and Russians did.

So, the government can void any of our freedoms in the name of public hralth?

Should these people be arrested? Are they a menace?

You don't see any loss of freedom when governors or mayors dictate lockdowns and business closures with one single word of legislation?

Making many millions of Americans face bankruptcy or loss of a business that might have taken a lifetime to build?

What planet does the liberal-left live on?:shock:

You are comparing these idiots to people who actually run businesses and know how to operate within the guidelines of social distancing.

They'd probably lose that businesd if they died also. Or if a bunch of customers did.
