Why be a bottom feeder when attempting to address serious issues?
Granny isnāt stupid, she knows sheās vulnerable and can take precautions so that isnāt an issue.
Those with compromised immune systems arenāt stupid either and we know how to protect them as well.
Shutting down till this virus went away was never the goal, the goal was to ābend the curveā, we accomplished that in Aprio.
We cannot stop this virus, there are only 3 possible ways it stops.
Naturally, with warmer weather and natural social distqancing it wanes along with natural herd Immunity bulding.
It simply burns itself out as most SRVās usually do.
We continue building herd immunity and we come up with a viable vaccine to accelerator it.
You think that a group of people who wanted to secede from the US are not traitors? Are they heroes?
It is history. And history can be taught without having a dark part of our history memorialized. Germany doesnāt have statues of Hitler or Goebels. They donāt accept people driving down the road flying flags with swastikas.
By defnition they are not traitors hence none of them were prosecuted or Treason.
They got a political divorce from the US before hostilities broke putt. They could not commit treason when they were no longer a part of the US.

Granny isnāt stupid, but when Jimmy shows up for Sunday pot roast after a weekend at the beach, and he is unaware he was infected, how does one protect her?
Then explain the uptick in cases in many states. Explain why Florida saw over 10000 new cases in one day.

Really? Now its back to warm weather? Then explain why in mid-June (its hot out) Texas and Arizona and Florida and Brazil are seeing major upticks in cases if āwarmer weatherā wanes the virus? Sounds like thereās a gaping hole in that ātheoryā. And who in Florida is social distancing when beaches are packed?

Lets get all of the people, young and old, together in one large room and start coughing on each other. Those who survive can celebrate. Those who die, welp, who cares.

āNortherners took a pragmatic approach to the warās end. They realized the impracticality of trying thousands of Southerners for disloyalty in states where juries were unlikely to deliver guilty verdicts, and that continued cries of treason would interfere with the more important task of nation-building.ā
During the Civil War, the North was able to reconcile its hatred of the Confederate rebels with a record of leniency concerning treason, a new book argues.

I donāt think about it at all. I have present matters of great concern that far, far outweigh such thoughts. When I do remember it, I think back to the times they were in and concludeā¦slavery was wrong. Their reason for succession was wrong. Our country entered itās worst war of our entire history and more men died fighting it than all other wars combined. When I see a statue from that time periodā¦I thinkā¦I donāt ever want that repeated and in essence is a motivation to leave it as a reminder to us all.

?? 10,000? When?
My mistake, I heard that wrong. According to maps, its over 4000 new cases in one day. Florida just surpassed 100K cases.
Good lord this isnāt that hard.
The people who are vulnerable know weāre reopening the economy and that people will be exposed.
They can take the necessary precautions to protect themselves.
IF that means they donāt get to go back to "life as normal, that is the cost of being highly at risk.
Is it fair that bars are open and peoiple get to drink when we still have millions of alcoholics?
Is it fair that pharmacies remain open when we still have millions of people addicted to Pharmaceuticals they canāt get legally?
Sometimes life sucks and itās never fair, if someone is at risk itās up to them to take the necessary measures to protect themselves, we canāt put them all in bubbles or keep the economy shut down interminably in the name of protecting them.

That is you. And there are also people who worship the Confederate. There are some that wished the outcome was different. That the South won. What about them? Ignore them?

Were you alive when President Carter gave all of our young men, who dodged the draft and went to Canadaā¦amnesty? Every once in a while my friendā¦the best road for us allā¦is forgiveness.

Being concerned about a virus does not qualify you for disability.
And disability wouldnāt pay his kidās college bills and a mortgage on a middle class home.
Unless you are proposing drastic changes in disability rules?

Just like the Confederate flag waving on the capitals of southern states, itās dying. Let it go. Let those who reside there do it on their own. Just like Iāve said regarding those statues; if those living there, through their local governments want them removedā¦remove them. I have no problem with that but taking matters into your own hands and just tearing them down, i do have a problem with.
Headās up. When you start posting this kind of mindless drivel itās obvious you have nothing of substance to argue.
Since when did you become a disability ratings specialist at the SSA?
The individual would have a legitimate case for filing and for filing for special dispensation under the ADA because of their preexisting conditions making them unfit for the work place.

What the ā ā ā ā is wrong with you? Who gives a doo-doo. Heās a fat 74 year old man, no handrails and didnāt want to slip and fall on national television. Is it really that difficult to comprehend? Get over it.
