    Regulated by the community means democracy and democracy means capitalism and community means fair capitalism with a good safety net.

    The part about the community owning the means of production is the part that everyone agrees doesn't work. Except for necessities like healthc
    Except an intelligence administration and president would have given us testing and equipment out the rear end to do this with. This is going to fail badly. Great job!

    Why not. The GOP is totally incompetent except at getting elected, horrible propaganda and cutting taxes on the rich.

    Change the subject. why didn't you just say "You have a point there ButterBalls" and then move on to a subject more suited to you other than this one you're trying to derail ;)

    No one has said that; stop exaggerating. However, I am old too, but not narcissistic enough not to understand that if 50,000 people in our age group bite the dust, it isn't as tragic as it is if 50,000 children die.

    Seniors are encouraged to quarantine as long as they feel it is necessary and are encouraged to do so.

    For some reason this comment cracked me up. If only that is true.....

    What kind of life is it to be freaking out everyday while hiding in isolation?

    Because you did not have a valid point. to reopen responsibly you need lots of testing and lots of equipment....Trump has decided to not follow Trump guidelines. Enjoy

    Considering their record of incompetence and disaster, it is only their imaginary planet of garbage propaganda that makes it possible.

    I value my life. I will draw my revolver from my recliner and kill anyone who breaks in my house -- putting all the risk on them, and caring nothing at all about their life, only caring about my life.

    Wrong. You, in specific, said the powers that be were 'sacrificing Seniors.' If it is equally dangerous for everybody*, then your claim of a specific group being targeted is blatantly false.

    *those with underlying medical conditions of all ages are more susceptible then others.

    Is that what this is about? You're jealous that the young and healthy will be able to go out before you will?

    There's nothing irrational about worrying about something that has killed 75,000 in two months and is currently killing 2,000 a day
    No I'm pointing out that people like you...would confine people over 50 and anyone with any medical condition to being locked away pretty much forever because you can't wait the few weeks it would take for this thing to subside

    As I am sure you aware, the virus will kill around 14 out of 10,000 that catch it.
    Thus, your irrational fear.

    It's far from irrational to those 14 people. Or their families or their friends

    And of course those numbers are skewed by the fact that though people under 50 can get VERY sick (some with lifelong issues) they don't usually die...

    And then there's the financial COST of fighting this thing. What does 30-50 days in the hospital cost again? I know my insurance wouldn't cover all of that
