Most people here are missing the point, the public health crisis gag has proven to be a path to dictatorial power. We will be seeing more of this until legislation really constrains this BS.
With the Covid response we’ve allowed, we’ve handed the left and the destructive forces in our government the template with which all future “crises” will be used to control the population. There will be the “climate” crisis, the “overpopulation” crisis, the “white supremacy” crisis, the “asteroid heading for earth” crisis, the “Trump is an extraterrestrial” crisis, and on and on. There’s only one solution in my opinion. (1) Open the country immediately and let the virus take its course. (2) Protect the most vulnerable and take reasonable precautions as we’ve done throughout history. (3) Clear out and arrest all looters, vandals, arsonists and violent protesters. (4) Use non lethal force and, where absolutely necessary, overwhelming force to restore order. (5) Equally apply the law to conservatives and liberals. (6) Get rid of the bad apples in our police forces, using a one & done policy. And (7) Vote like your life depends on it. No mail in voting unless you demonstrate a valid reason why you can’t get to be polls. In the military, overseas, out of state, serious illness or infirmity. That’s my 2 cents.
