Willie, there is also something called the "greater good" If your boy Trump has simply shut the country down for a couple months and then reopened, the virus would have mostly gone away as has occurred in other countries. He failed to believe science and didn't act accordingly. I always knew that the red/blue divide would destroy the country; didn't think a virus would be the cause.
You emphasize personal freedoms. Don't forget that women should have the right to abortions if they so chose. I'm sure you don't believe this. This stuff works both ways.
BTW, the Pats won't miss Chung. He can't play.
No country took the action you're advocating, except for maybe places like Thailand, and all countries and states have essentially the same curve. Slow start, rapid surge, rapid demise. All the same, regardless of the actions they've taken. The only difference is the timing, and a few governors that are praised today actually have by far the worse track records in terms of deaths. Not even close
Sweden did NOTHING, yet their curve and results are no different than most other nations which did more.
As for your abortion tangent, I believe abortions should be banned once the baby can survive outside the womb, which is usually the third trimester. You see, that person is protected by constitutional rights. I know the last democratic president holds a demonic position on abortion, he advocates allowing babies that survived an abortion to die because giving that baby medical attention defeats the intent of the abortionists. It's the most inhumane position on abortion I've ever heard in my life.
A baby is born, it's alive, it's outside the fucking womb, what does that have to do with a women's body? that's a third trimester abortion, commonly referred to has late term abortions.
