EDITOR NOTE: CLOSED FOR LACK OF CONSTRUCTIVE COMMENTS.

We can certainly all hold different beliefs. The Constitutionalists might say “screw that” to self distancing. Why make this issue (Covid) your bully pulpit? Pick a different platform.

Not using safety precautions like helmets, seat belts, and STAY-AT-HOME behavior DOES in fact raise costs to our society.
And THAT is why we as a society pass LAWS to reduce the risk and the higher costs for everyone, right? It’s not a 100% guarantee, but it makes sense.
Over the long-term, sure immunity will mitigate the problem. In the meantime, be a team player, don’t go to church and help flatten the curve. Because, apparently our medical system can’t handle so many selfish people all at once. Same goes for our toilet paper mills.

And yes, there is a significant portion of the population with the “too bad, no benefit for you” attitude.
The real “crass judgmentalism” starts against the homeless, addicts, welfare recipients, and anyone ‘different’. “It’s their fault.”
Remember the conservative response to AIDS? “they’re gay. it’s their fault. too bad.” It wasn’t until heterosexual people started getting HIV, that anything was done about it. Thanks Jerry Falwell and P. Reagan?

“It must be their fault! No benefits/no treatment/no research for you. It’s God’s will. too bad.”
Got Covid 19 and can’t breathe Bundy? Who’s fault is that?

This should be a real test for Governor Little!

Just because you HAVE the right to gather for Easter, doesn’t mean you should use that right.

But gather if you choose. Knock yourselves out. Just don’t demand medical services when you all become sick.

“Sorry, I can see by your bumper sticker, you are not allowed into the E.R.”
Live in individual liberty, die in individual liberty.

Cuz, you know in a group of many idiots, there will be several of them already afflicted– all cheering and yelling and expelling tiny virions into the air of others breathing it in while drinking more Kool-Aid.
Sounds great! Darwinism at work. Unfortunately, Guilt by Association is also a universal law.

So, then they go back to 2C, Gem County, Boise County, etc along with the few readers here in support of the idea to spread the contamination to others– think of those ill people being denied services. Or more likely, think of the tiny Emmett, Walter Knox Clinic getting overwhelmed by local cases. Garden Valley? Idaho City?

I don’t mind because it’s doing the community good. However, they should at least credit the seeds of their stories.

At present, the only way to avoid the virus is to limit contact with an infected person. So, why not accept that fact and figure out some work arounds?

Don’t expect a vaccine to save us any time soon, if ever. Corona type of Viruses very problematic to create vaccines for – there has never been a vaccine for the common cold and Sars-Cov-02 is a Corona type of virus like cold virus. Once again, no one has created a vaccine to protect us from a cold virus. A vaccine might not be coming at all.

IMO we are currently in the land of the F$&ked! Many things could be done in addition to social distancing to get business up and running but there s no plan as of yet.

Every morning about this time
She gets me out of my bed a-crying
Get a job

After breakfast every day
She throws the want ads right my way
And never fails to say
Get a job
