    It's over, and it was barely a speed bump

    Interesting that the Founding Fathers forgot to put that in the Constitution...

    But this was never treated as a true public health emergency. Half the work force is allowed and expected to work and the other half is expected to stay home, some without an income for an indefinate amount of time. And at the end of the day everyone is allowed to buy plywood and groceries at the same time and at the same places.

    A true public health emergency would call for everyone to be locked down and all businesses and other gathering places closed. Those that have failed to prepare for such a possibility would be SOL. The inconsistencies of the response is unbelievable.

    Your persecution complex is showing. This christian bigotry is all in your head. Your specific god will protect you. At least that’s what I’ve been told by many religious fanatics. Their specific god is all-knowing and everything that happens is all part of their specific gods plan. Surely their specific god will protect the believers.

    Why social distancing? Isn't the RW idea that everyone will get infected anyway? So, let the churches just open up and be packed, and see where the chips fall. They'll get a good dose of Darwinists theory, which they otherwise deny.

    The Constitution can be amended, especially to insure "the welfare of the people" ....and since when does public health take a back seat to religious belief? Here's the thing....you've had documented court cases were parents of a particular religious bent let their kids die of easily treatable and curable illnesses because they only allow "faith healing" and the use of distilled alcohol as treatment. Also, you have parents who would rather let their kid die instead of get saved by a blood transfusion.

    Now that may be all well and good for them (sucks for the kids), but I'll be damned if they put me and mine at risk for their beliefs. I'll wager dollar to donut that if Covid 19 had a fatality rate like ebola and other hemorrhagic diseases, no one would bat an eye if local and federal gov't put a lock on the church doors and quarantined any religious yahoos who try to act on this craziness.

    That is a great illustration - and oh so true. The only problem is that there is a big Elephant in the room that is not shown :)

    Red loves Utilitarianism when it suits their purpose - and also fallacious Utilitarianism such as that pictured above.

    The Constitution is not going to tell the states what they can't do with their sovereignty prior to signing on with the Constitution.

    With all the re opening going on across the country, I see no reason Churches shouldn't be allowed to as well. Social distancing should be mandatory if/when they do. I just hope that they will...

    Well stupid is ignoring the evolution of mankind.. We socialize, procreate and most importantly share pathogens, create antibodies and condition and evolve our immune systems to protect us from diseases, infection and virus..

    Granted there is really stupid and hiding and waiting for MAN to create a cure for something mankind has been curing for,

    How long has mankind existed?
    So we have stupid, I agree! But then we have totally bat crap crazy people that think and try to change the human defense system in a few months by hiding in a modern cave dwelling :)

    But the constitution via people's individual rights tells the states that they cannot violate peoples rights..
    Remember the constitution's primary purpose is to define and limit government. It is not a listing of our rights.

    If it's not in the constitution, the states should assume it's ok for their people to do and not restrict behavior.

    When passing laws that restrict peoples behavior the law should be assumed unconstitutional until proven otherwise.

    Urban Myth.In fact,the Exact Opposite.Provable as no other
    falsehood in our History.This Pandemic was tailor-made to
    Pit Americans Against the notion of God,Life and Liberty.
    We are all gonna die if we don't literally kopwtow to The new
    Normal.Or authority.Unless one hasn't been paying close enough
    attention.I mean,Only - Tucker - has been Man enough to say almost
    each show - Just Shut-up and Obey -.
    This Pandemic has NOT brought many people to God.
    Where on Earth did you drudge up that notion.
    Americans are closer to Suicide and Poverty than God.
    Because and specifically on account of this Draconian New Normal.
    Where God will be shushed away.Not allowed any part of.
    Jiminy Cricket ... Get yer facts Straight.

    Wrong, they function like a charity or foundation.. You might be confusing them with charities like the Clinton Foundation..

    The point is we are dealing with something like STD's! And people die from them too, HIV for starters.. So how would this stupid approach to that virus pan out?

    It all depends on how many holes are being hunched yet this virus infects people that stand too close thus the isolation idea, it is nothing new in the USA.. I refused to be bound at home and traveled where I needed or wanted during the entire time, never wore a mask and never stopped working and next week it's time to start the summer time job...Working around dirty, drunk humans..

    Don't kiss them, don't go to church or believe in God and most of all let people do as they want! Like your rebel approach to the COVID-19, that sounds like a pretty decent way to approach other folks other then calling them stupid ¯\_(º¸º)_/¯

    Yet that in a nutshell is what Blue State Governors are doing.
    Not merely attempting ... but actually Doing.To Dumb-down the
    populace in order to implement a Political agenda.Weaken then
    destroy the economy an any notion of Liberty.To have Democrats
    run Supreme in the fall.Which is their Super Bowl trophy.
    To Oust Trump and Republicans and implement as fast as humanly
    possible this New World Order.A Global initiative to run the entire
    planet by just a few.Like Bill Gates for starters.He and his Eugenicist
    indoctrinators.

    That is the heart of the matter. The left would love to destroy Christianity and jumped on the opportunity to shut down churches. How many Mosques have closed?
