When does it end? How can it?

They do not value freedom and liberty enough to make such a sacrifice.

And to answer another question, I am very compassionate, compassionate of the tens of millions of people, like my son, who lost their jobs as a result of this nonsense, compassionate to the tens of thousands of small business owners who lost lifetimes of work and capital, compassionate to the people who have to work harder while the people forced not to work try to get their lives in order. I also have compassion for the elderly and the people with preexisting conditions. They need to take more responsibility for their safety and if they are unable to do so their families need to pitch in. Let the rest of us go about our lives normally. IT'S A BAD FLU for crying out loud, not the Black Plague.

Thanks Major. But that’s not what you “said”, it’s what you meant to say or imply by your post. In using that Pearl Harbor analogy, you may have a point on that mark. As for “the bad flu” comment, if you don’t really believe the reported numbers there is no sense debating flu deaths against those of COVID-19. Enjoy your weekend.
