Like that "no essential travel" decree in New Jersey... That's ridiculous. Say I want to drive to my old office location to do a workout or something. I won't even come in contact with another person, so there's no more risk than me being locked in my house. Or maybe I just want to go for a drive so I don't get cabin fever. But it's illegal. Stupid.

This is what I'm talking about. If we give up part of our rights too easily, many more rights could disappear over night. We have to be very careful here.

I’ve never been a gun nut, but if anyone needs a reason to fight for their right to their guns, look at what’s going on.

Soon people will be looting and trying to get what you have. Every liberal in America better hope their neighbors have a gun.

Wow. And that Caruso guy also has a pinned tweet with a sad-looking Trump and the headline that coronavirus is wiping out "Trump's" stock market gains.

And some wonder why we hate big government.

proving yet again why human beings should have little to no power over anything but themselves.

I'm convinced if humans had the ability to vaporize folks instantly, it would only be a matter of time before the likes of Mother Theresa herself couldn't resist
People are generally ignorant and selfish. You hope our leaders can rise about that. Few do.

Jesus Christ, this world has gone fucking crazy. The flu is 100 times more deadly and we don't shut our lives down during flu season every year. Just because this one has a different name we are all suppose to freak the fuck out? This has gotten insane.
JFC stop comparing it to the current flu, the only thing they have in common is that it's a virus that spreads easily. You want to compare it, compare it to the Spanish flu, when the Flu first made it's big appearance. The current flu has been around for decades and most people have developed some type of antibodies to fend it off. Corona is brand new and there's no one with antibodies for it nor a vaccine. It can overrun any healthcare in no time.

Welp, the University just called it. Looks like I will most likely be working from home starting tomorrow.

He should be jailed. Basically yelling fire in a crowded theater. I wonder if the hot spots weren't in CA, WA, and NY if the folks would feel differently. I suspect so and that's so fucking sad.

If you are going to be a leader, you have to speak truth. Not your fucking truth. Actual truth.

This current strain may be new but the Corona virus has been around for years. Even 50 years ago it was referred to as the common cold virus.

The current strain has the lowest mortality rate as a percentage compared to previous virus outbreaks.
