I'm actually broadly sympathetic to the protesters. When you have 22 million Americans unemployed, massive lines at food banks, and even more projected layoffs, even a Second Great Depression, people are going to have had it. Even nurses and other hospital workers cannot get paid if the economy tanks and there's no money cycling through the U.S. system.
I think the quarantines have gone on way too long. We should have gone the Sweden herd immunity model in the first place. If people are still that scared of this Coronavirus they ought to quarantine themselves. The rest of the country shouldn't have to keep catering to the susceptible minority much longer. I'm grateful that I live in Texas and my governor seems committed to reopening our state in early May, whether hell or high water.
Other than pushing back against political statements I have not made my position clear on the topic of reopening the US. As such I don't know how you draw any conclusion on what wrongful thinking I may have in regard to the science end of this topic.
No, what's happening is others are pushing back on YOUR own, seemingly endless, political statements largely because you refuse to accept facts and instead go on a comedy of accusing everything you disagree with as biased and personally attacking the messenger, followed by calling in the sysops when you get a dash of what you dish out.
PS - Try the urban dictionary definition for the meaning "Bye Felicia" . That is, if dictionaries aren't too biased against your president too.
As I sit in my living room chair, wrapped in a blanket, still hurting to breathe deeply from a presumed case of covid19 that lasted 30+ days and ended over a week ago, and that could have killed me (lung disease history,) I have mixed feelings about this.
Quarantine cities? That’s a no-brainer. Quarantine everyone? Not sure how I feel about that. I got sick either visiting the VA hospital all day in Milwaukee the first week someone in my county popped positive, or that same week when about everyone and there brother coughed on me shopping all day at various stores. By then there was already community spread. People like me should be isolated, and if I had realized it was already in Milwaukee I wouldn’t have gone there that day or gone shopping from place to place all day just before that
I think level heads and measured responses are called for, but it’s not a black and white issue. There is gray area.
That sounds awful but I am glad you are doing better now (or at least headed in the right direction). Wishing you continued wellness!!

Yeah here's the thing: a lot of Americans are not going to be okay with 50% unemployment and actual starvation here in America because the food supply chain collapsed during a Second Great Depression. At that point nobody is going to care about this Coronavirus any longer. Don't be myopic. There is a world outside the Coronavirus fight.
Dear lord. Did you know you don't actually have to be a working-class traitor?
The 1% is never going to be your friends. It doesn't matter how many pro-greed pro-capitalist messages you post. They neither care about you or know you exist.
And jeezus, how sad that you believe this propaganda about there not being enough money for us average people
They sure as heck found a few trillion to pump into the stock markets a few weeks ago. they did it without any hesitation.
What's it like to have zero class-consciousness? Is ignorance truly bliss?
How pitiful that you seem to not have any regard for yourself, or think that you too are worth a decent support check until it is actually safe to open the country.

We promote the idea of lively debate. This means you are free to disagree with anyone on any type of subject matter as long as your criticism is constructive and polite. Additionally, please refrain from name-calling. This is divisive, rude, and derails the thread.
Our first priority is to the members that have come here because of the flame-free atmosphere we provide. There is a zero-tolerance policy here against personal attacks. We will not tolerate anyone insulting other's opinion nor name calling.
Issues where politics can’t be separated from the main topic do tend to get heated, but please be polite and refrain from debating each other and stick to the topic.
So you admit your sole reason for being here is political and not clinical. (I've yet to see you involved in a single clinical thread in fact) and that you prefer team tagging "good guys" (anyone who glorifies, denies and defends your President) and stalk threads looking for " Liberals" (translation: anyone who dares to criticize your President and point out the facts) to pile on.
Really sad. Seems my earlier assessment of you was spot on but then, at this point in my career, they oft are.
Not that anyone needs to explain to you but I believe juniper was here long before you and has been involved in many clinical forums/posts. You on the other hand have only just joined and are involved in political posts only (as far as I can tell).
Right, because 22 million unemployed, food lines that last for literally miles at food banks, the oil/natgas market collapsing, and an impending economic depression is just like "can't get their hair done".
Honestly, I'm not convinced that the OP isn't a med student troll sent to us from studentdoc.com. With no classes, they'd sure have the time on their hands.

And at least juniper is civil in the discussions.
1. No, you don't and you don't need to jump in to defend the honor of weak adulators of Don the Con either.
2. You're wrong again, old girl.
I've been here for years. I've had to change emails and get a new account
3. You lie. Even a cursory review of my messages would show and entire host of participation that has nothing at all to do with politics.
4. Further personal attacks against myself and others will be reported.
PS - can you tell the story about how Congress is responsible for invoking the Presidential Production Act again? ? Definitely too good not to share.

LOL. According to what, your unbiased opinion in between person attacks.
Here's a clue I'm not going anywhere. If I did I'd be back. The tripe you post will be challenged. tt. ?

Arcane leftist agitprop aside, the vast majority of Americans don't want Great Depression #2.
You are going to report others after all the things you have said, that is rich!!
Don't be silly.
You are engaging in more ad hominems , personal attacks, and lies because you got nothing else. For instance a moment ago, you were insisting, ridiculously, that Congress and the States were responsible for formulating the National response to the pandemic. (Btw, that's gotta be in the top 5 I've ever seen an alleged college graduate come up with) Ever wonder why cabinets like the NIH, CDC, and Health and Human Services resport to the PRESIDENT? Find a quiet corner and think about it a while.
PS - And are you saying you're too incompetent to click and look at my message history or what?
