How exactly is a curfew supposed to lesson the virus-caused problems.  Does coronavirus only come out at night?

Cuts down on house parties and other social activity that we prefer to do at night.  A lot of people still are working, from home, so that limits people during the day Monday-Friday.

True.

Like going to bars, restaurants, sporting events, concerts, clubs, etc.

 

Oh wait.

 

We cant do that right now.

 

Curfew was just another power play by the government and so many welcome more and more of their freedoms getting taken away.

It is not a bum fuck county; it has a population of nearly 1.5 million people (larger than any Ohio county); home to Tampa.

It’s Florida. It’s bum fuck.

Anything smaller than his perfect, blessed Chicago = bum fuck america.....

I’ve never said anything about Chicago being better than other places, besides anywhere in Florida and whatever hilljack town you and your cuckold wife hail from.

So a bunch of jackasses have gather to protest MI quarantine orders.

Going to be interesting because I've been hearing the orders may not be enforceable/constitutional.  I don't know if martial law has ever been declared (if that's a thing), but it sounds like maybe the orders are "guidelines" and anyone arrested would win in court.

This could snowball as the weather gets nicer if people decide "you can't arrest me I'm doing what I want".

 

Well, she deserves what she is getting.

Highest new cases today. I wonder how many decided to go celebrate Easter with families this past weekend.

So this would be...um...big?

Especially after all of the haters saying it couldn’t have come from a lab. And yes, I know it’s Fox News reporting this with no named sources (so I’m also skeptical), but I still don’t get why people thought this was such a crazy possibility.

Maybe it's legit.  Who knows.  All I think about when I read it is Trump saying, "when you read an article that cites 'sources', you know it's fake".

New cases would have to be evaluated as to the availability of testing, where, and who is getting tested etc...  A lot of factors involved.

Your latter statement insinuates a correlation that has no basis.

Most of us said it wasnt being developed as a weapon. I think a lot of us agreed it couldve come from a lab by accident.

I’m assuming you celebrated Easter with your family ?

Nope.  The normal Easter get together was off.  Didn't see my wife's parents, daughter , and youngest son.  My middle son stopped by the house with the granddaughters because he was in town.  We sat out on the front porch my wife and I wore masks.  She gave them some gifts.  They briefly came into the house to go to the bathroom.  We saw them for maybe a half an hour.  The girls are so young they don't understand why they don't get to stay over at grandma and grandpa's house like they used to.

My middle son lives in Chicago.  He was home for three weeks.  Normally he stays with my wife and I.  He stayed with his sister instead over an hour away.  We barely get too see him it's rare he is home.  While he was home my  wife and I saw him just three times. A wave out the back door, we had him over for dinner on the front porch where he sat on one side and my wife and I the other, and on the front porch before he left we always send him home with plenty of homemade food.  My wife and I did not even give him a hug.

It’s tough right now. My kids spend a lot of time with their grandparents. FaceTime was ok at first but it’s getting old for then you can tell. Our daughter who we never have problems with is starting to have some behavior issues. I’m sure keeping a 5 year old cooped up in a house and not seeing her extended family isn’t helping. But I mean... we get it. We know why we have to.

Can you site where Fox reported fake news?  Sure they embellish for the conservatives but they dont blatantly lie like CNN.

They were spot on when it came to Clinton foundation scandal, Russiaan collusion with Clinton, the Comey coverup, Steele spying for the DNC etc.....  proven right with what is coming from Barr IG report.

 

At this point, with the Harvard professor getting caught with vials of biological material at the airport awhile back, I am leaning on the side that China is caught.
