You do know, no one is stopping you from volunteering to support as many unemployed families as you want.
Just go stand out in front of the unemployment office and ask who wants you to pay for them until they decide it is safe to return to work.
Keep us updated on all the families you support.
And we KNOW the models are very accurate. I mean they were spot on when this first began. Oh, wait... never mind.
That’s some Facebook dad, Rush Limbaugh level of brain dead.
Nothing is stopping you from snorting a fat line of Covid-19 if it’s not serious.
We have social welfare systems in place for a reason. When they break down it is a reflection of underfunding and bad policy.
When 70k people die from a pandemic in six weeks that collapses your fragile Starbucks economy and pushes your healthcare system to the edge of failure it is a reflection that maybe the entire card table needs to be flipped.
I see a fair amount of guesses and assumptions in here.
You assume business can’t run if open because soooooo many people will Ben sick and dead, but it’s a guarantee they can operate when the government shuts them down or locks down the people that are able to support the business. Lockdown or not, there’s appx 349 million people in the US that did not get the virus (appx 350 mil population).
Hospitals are struggling for a multitude of reasons, one of which is bigger than the virus itself and how they get their money. Why would hospitals have to lie about diagnosing people with COVID that don’t have COVID? Money.
I’m not sure what mass death you’re referring to if people protect themselves. Either don’t go out (your choice), wear proper protective gear (your choice) or potentially expose yourself with nothing (your choice). I agree that maybe the elderly and weakened immune folks should probably lean heavily towards the first option, but no one should be getting forced into any of them.
Farmers are actually struggling due to the lack of customers because of lockdown, so just because they can physically work doesn’t mean the lockdown hasn’t affected them.
But, continue to be naysayer and enjoy your lockdown (which you could still do even if opened up).
Daryl should worker harder to get a better job. Or better yet, save up his money and start his own business..
But with the virus it's not just you. It's your family, friends, neighbors, and people you don't even know who can also be hurt.
There's no question that the state has a legitimate interest in stopping the spread of the virus.
Oh ok, so you just want to spend someone elses money. Got it.
the use of my tax dollars obviously takes precedent over your grandmother. sorry breh
Not if they protect themselves.
You continue to ignore the fact that a lot of people don't have this luxury.
Well the argument here is wouldn't it be nice to live in a society where someone wasn't forced to put their life at risk to stock shelves at Walmart? Wouldn't it be cool if instead of bailing out failing companies, we put that money toward keeping people safe and healthy during a health crisis? Lick those boots.
A mask and gloves?
Then stay at home. That’s the next protective measure.
You’re bringing a separate issue into how this could or should be opened up. Absolutely agree the government shouldn’t be bailing out companies, but they also shouldn’t be the reason small businesses need bailed out.
Close Walmart. I agree, if everyone is on lockdown, close it down. Walmart is not essential.
They don’t have to work at WalMart. They just have to live within their means until they can establish some credit. Then they have to be willing to risk it all in a business venture.
no successful entrepreneur or business owner ever says it was pure luck. They ALL say it was hard work and sacrifice. And 99.9% of this country supports hard working individuals that sacrificed luxury early to succeed later. That’s the American dream. But nowadays it’s a popular sentiment to hear people say my neighbor has that so I “deserve” it also. Without any regard what it took to get that.
but I digress. Take care of yourself and your loved ones and there is no need to infringe upon anybody’s first amendment right. The ignoramuses can’t hurt you if you do that.
Spot on sir! Have a friend of mine that thinks he is owed something from someone else, who is constantly complaining and never making that sacrifice. That sacrifice that you speak of is real. I put in 14 hour days working and going to school for nearly a year with no days off. That netted me nearly $15,000 more a year. Plan on doing it again soon! This Rona is stepping on people’s rights! Wild to me that people don’t seem to understand that people are losing their livelihood. Quarantine the sick, self quarantine if you have pre existing disease, and open this Country up! I think it’s pretty interesting that people think if we hunker down longer, Rona will disappear. It’s a pipe dream! Rona is here to stay.
Researchers find antibody that blocks infection by coronavirus in cells
Many of us are carrying antibodies already without even knowing it..... other companies have discovered similar things.
