It is now obvious that the stay-at-home order by our dem gov has failed. It wrecked our state economy for no good reason.

Extending the order for another two weeks is idiotic. It is insane to think that extending the order will result in a better outcome. It unfairly punishes responsible workers and business owners for the bad behavior of a few that violate the order. Punish the violators instead, but allow workers and businesses to reopen and get back to work. It can be done with proper care and precautions. People of age and poor health should remain strictly isolated for their own protection. Every one else needs to get back to life as normal.

There is no reason for him to lock down anything but maybe the two big cities at this point. THe numbers in all the other counties are great.

Incredible. Somebody has got to stop these governors. I read about the law that the MI passed halting their governor’s insanity, which of course she will veto. But what it said was that a governor could not declare this type of total shut-down emergency without the approval of the legislature, and it had to be limited to two weeks and could not be extended unless the governor got approval from the legislature again.

That’s what we need.

The most obvious error all along has been to treat this as a whole-nation, and then a whole-state problem. The fact is that over 90% of the counties in the US have not had a problem with the virus, and they should have been left untouched by the fist of government control. This should have been overseen on the county level all along.

You see gang, just because he smiles and has a bit of a drawl doesn’t mean he is any better than Joe Manchin. The rat thinks the same no matter what position he is in.

It is obvious now that the BS excuse of "flattening the curve" has run its course. People will die or recover at whatever rate the government imposes, but they will die or recover at whatever their dispositions govern.

Either that scenario plays out within one month with no restrictions and a recovering economy, or it is extended ad infinitum and the USA reverts to 3rd world status.

” ...People of age and poor health should remain strictly isolated for their own protection... “


BTW, I fall into this category. I’m over 60 and have been struggling with high blood pressure for several years. I’m doing my best to isolate. If I catch this vicious Chinese plague, I probably would not survive. But that is no reason to wreck the economy for my nephews and nieces…
