I for one don't believe in ghosts. The "ghosts" was in reference to the Coronavirus or any other virus the MSM wants to fear monger people into believing they are going to contract and die if they leave their homes. Based on the CDC's statistics, over 24,000 people have died from the flu this year, and flu season isn't officially over yet. This is statistically the same as the number of people who have died from Covid-19. Where was the outrage to shut down the economy to save people from dying of the flu. Does a life have less value if the person dies of the flu? Again, according to CDC numbers 48,614 people died from the flu during the 2003-2004 flu season. I don't remember the economy being shut down. According to the National Safety Council there were 40,000 automobile fatalities in the US in 2018. Should the Goverment ban us from driving vehicles to save an estimated 40,000 lives per year? If not, why? I'm sure a lot of people on this site own vehicles. Do lives lost in auto crashes have less value? Every time you get behind the wheel of a vehicle and hit the road you are putting your life or someone else's life at risk. I personally believe the majority of American adults are quite capable evaluating risks and making the decisions that are best for them and there families. We do it everyday.

It is known as risk management. The risks you mentioned are known and managed to the best of human ability.
There are no buffers against the virus. No vaccine, no treatment standards, ten times more lethal etc. The risk to life is not fully manageable at this moment. Are you too dense to even imagine what the numbers would be without a quarantine? Yes, you probably are. But hey, please take yourself out there and get on with your life.

Take it easy. A lot of people are losing money for the first time in their life. Many are having to face their families for the first time in forever. And a few unfortunate souls are having to face themselves for the first time ever and finding no soul.

Camping on the Gulf (plaintiff) flying their American flag upside down on 98. :nono:

Seems I've seen an upside down American flag in the avatar of a frequent Sowal lounge poster. Not condoning Camping on the Gulf but nobody has had an issue with that.

An upside down flag signifies that America is in distress, correct?

No excuse to be willfully ignorant.

Plaintiffs chatting after judgement Monday, April 13-

Huckabee: “Well, we’ve lost in court and I have a hard time figuring out how I could look like a bigger ass during this quarantine”.

Camping on the Gulf: “Hold my beer”.

The tax dollars spent on this lawsuit you are so angry about will pale in comparison to the lost tax revenue from this stupid shutdown. People can champion the sheriff wining, but will you have won? Every day this shutdown continues results in another business that will most likely fail and never reopen, another vacation rental property that will be foreclosed on, and several thousands of people unemployed.

This shut down has had nothing to with a virus. Look at how grossly inaccurate all of the academic models have been. The virus has been used as huge grab of power by government. If anyone believes we will return to normal after this is over your kidding yourselves. Cite one single occurrence where governments have relinquished their powers once enacted. Government no longer represents the people. They have become our masters.

We will see how many of you on the sir are championing your goverment masters when your taxes start skyrocketing to make up for their huge budget shortfalls. Meanwhile, tune back in to CNN so you can get your daily fix Covid-19 porn.
