Like they almost all are.....they talk a lot of big shit, but when it hits the fan, the only thing left of them is the wafting stench of their rapidly departing shitstained faces.

Somehow, in the midst of a pandemic, we all forgot that the wannabe Nazi serving as US ambassador to Germany is now our Acting Director of National Intelligence.

Just like their pronouncements it's worth some lives to save the economy but don't offer up their own or their family members
meanwhile Ohio has it's share of morons as well....
Protesters at the Ohio Statehouse demanding end to the coronavirus "hoax"
North Carolina also has the stupid
Arrest made as protesters call for North Carolina businesses to reopen
The demonstration comes a day after Gov. Roy Cooper discussed North Carolina’s future in terms of lifting his executive orders aimed at combating the spread of the coronavirus.www.wbtv.com
Looks like we found our Economic Patriots. They can all go to South Dakota and live in their new utopia.
The dumbest part is these fucking morons are going to end up making their fears true, governments are going to have to call in the military/police to make them stop this type of idiocy, and that's just going to further fuel their paranoia and will end in bloodshed. Or if we get lucky they'll get infected and end up at home for a couple of weeks having to get over it.

What hell did you link us into?
Anyway, it looks like the protesters are more or less observing social distancing or they just smell bad*.

When I started this thread yesterday the total # of employees testing positive was 300. That total is now 518 employees with 644 positive tests associated with the plant. Statewide SD is up to 1100. Republican Governor still in Trump-like defiance refuses to issue statewide stay at home order.

A control group is always necessary. Otherwise, how would we know that the stay at home orders actually work?
I dislike this current state of martial law as much as anyone, but people holding up the Constitution are just making themselves look silly. It's not the federal govt issuing the stay at home orders.

The irony here is that all the stupid stuff Trump trash does to undermine the quarantine makes it less likely we'll have the Trump plague under control and the economy recovers by the election.

It's not hard to find seniors on the other side of it, either. At 70, I'm in favor of radically expanding he welfare state so tha people can stay home. I'm also in favor of a moratorium on rent, mortgage payments & utility bills until we can get past this.

Hmm...
You have to wonder how much this will play straight into the hands of Trump and the GOP come November. It doesn't help that COVID-19 numbers are way down from the projected illness/death totals touted by the CDC. Was it really social distancing, or did we overreact? The truth is people don't care. Many people are hurting financially, and many people distrust anything the government says. It's why Trump got into office. IMO, democrats need to be very careful as we move forward, because if the economy is truly screwed and the democrats are blamed for this mess, they are in real trouble.

The toddlers throwing a tantrum about being stopped from running out into traffic will eventually get their way.
And when the second wave hits, and the numbers rise again, they'll come up with a whole new batch of conspiratard theories.
No worries, as this will begin to happen in mid-May to June because too many states will open up in May, and the second wave will be in full force by July/August as we're forced to lock down again. The memory will stick through to November.
