    I guess losing that $600 extra per week in unemployment benefits encouraged some workers to get back at it.

    We are on day 174 of 15 days to slow the spread. We (the people) are not very good at this.

    If she shut down businesses for six months, then we already have thousands of them.

    It isn't acceptable despite how under any circumstances. Period. It is authoritarian and un-American. I do understand your position, however. The left will choose safety over freedom. I will choose the freedom over safety.

    Then Democrats had better stop rioting and start opening their states and get back to work. How worried can the6 be about COVID if they allow all that protesting and rioting? As long as they use Draconian measures to keep their states shut down, the economy will suffer, but that is what they want, because they would do anything to hurt Trump. But people are wise to their old tired playbook.

    Except you may be killing other people in your selfish demands.
    Your "freedom" does not include infecting other people.

    And Republicans would kill your grandmother just to get Trump reelected.
    People are wise to Trump supporters.

    Here - We can all play that word game of bombastic hyperbole.

    Bottom line. It's a difficult decision and a fine line to walk - keep Trump in the White House at all costs or try to keep grandma alive?

    With freedom comes responsibility. And if all free citizens acted responsibly and wore masks and socially distanced themselves from others, we wouldn't have this situation.

    I can't speak for the other three states but we're pretty much like 95% open, never really fell below 80ish.

    I honestly can't think of anything I can't do right now except maybe walk into a dive bar with no food license. <I'm ok with that.
