Yeah, the country is closed right now. How is he going to reopen? By allowing businesses to open again, so that people can go back to work.
This is all bull****. The whole country is shoved on their knees, to protect the old and the sick. How does that make sense. Isolate the old and the sick, not the young and healthy. Isolating EVERYONE is moronic. The cure is worse than the disease. If you honestly think retirees won't have a hard time, with the economy in shambles, you're truly clueless.

Even if we open up, places will not be swarmed. Lets not pretend otherwise. Life will still not be like we know it, for awhile. But completely shutting the economy is moronic too. And if Italy goes bankrupt, good luck with their SS payouts.
Here, let me try being you for a minute. Ok, give me a second to warm up. Ok, lets try it.
This is just like speed limits on highways. When they removed the speed limit on some texas roads, everyone was screaming about the carnage that would come. " people will speed and everyone will die! Oh the humanity!". Except, what they found out was, when they got rid of the speed limit, MOST people still went their normal speed. Some were fast, sure. But people always speed. The majority of people, went just as fast as they felt comfortable, which just so happened to be slightly above the normal speed limit. Adults are not children. We need to try to not treat them as such. It will never be perfect, but better dangerous freedom, than safe slavery.

Yeah, was discussing this earlier today with someone. Wondering when America would be released from the police-state.
I mean, this all started with ONE case. But we surely can't wait until there are no cases. Who the hell knows what will happen. :(

Lock up all the at risk people, and let go all the low risk. Whoever gets sick, gets sick. Then we have herd immunity. Get all the young healthy doctors and nurses, and let them volunteer to get sick. 2 weeks later, you have people that are immune and can now take care of the old and sick.
What we are doing now, is not viable. Period. And if we can't test people, it's even more fruitless.
And when will America be released? It's America. Trust me, they will release themselves. Only so long it can last before people say " **** it. I dare you to arrest us all".
How long do you think people will allow their businesses to be destroyed, their jobs lost, and the debts to balloon, before they give up and no longer care about protecting the old and sick?
we did this all wrong.
And I know I might sound callous, but MY way would protect the old and sick WAY better, with less collateral damage, and way less resentment.

Most of the people in my area stay at home. Because of corona virus attack. They even don't go out if there is anything serious.

globe warm, Antarctica temperature Higher than ever. The sealed virus(which you never know before ) in melting ice will be released. Bill Gates was right, the biggest enemy in 21 century is no longer war or weapons, it's virus.

An overpopulated world we live in and yet we worry about a global food shortage and global warming, nature ALWAYS wins,

still no SPAM.
lots of Campbell soup though | Bleach is made from inorganic compounds and there is simple ways of making it, certainly never be a shortage, production can outweigh consumer demand by far,

more affluent than what? It's all relative. I'm certainly surrounded by places way more affluent.

The Chinese must have something right.... they have been around so long.. they say "continuity."
It plays remarkably well into philosophy surrounding chemistry -- the underlining takeaway is atoms try to sustain themselves by 'fighting' radioactive decay via shedding or adding electrons... therefore -- sustaining themselves for.... continuity.
This is what everything is made of.
Yin and Yang together as a whole... in comparison to "I am black, therefore you are white," way of thinking. You can see this type of polarization play out in social justice.
This is a great breakthrough. I shall be reading into Confucius soon |

So, | Guess not many eat beef in your area, or the beef is sh*te, in the UK there is not enough agraculture land for our densly populated cities to sustain life, we reply on imports from around the globe, and yet we are exporting our prime beef to China because the farmers get a better price,
As for ground beef, i buy it for my dog, wish i stocked up on it now, worst case scenario would be to buy an Irish beef joint and dice it up.
