Resistance Building To Coronavirus 'House Arrest' Orders...It's About Time!
Excerpted....
Across the country, from political leaders, to small business owners, to
parents who just want to take their children to the park, resistance is
growing to the authoritarians who have effectively suspended the
Constitution and placed most of the country under house arrest.
Lawsuits are also challenging unlawful "stay at home" orders.
What if all the hysteria-driven orders have actually made the virus
outbreak even worse? More scientists are coming forward to argue
for the "Sweden model" of moderation rather than lockdown.
:
OK, the screed above was merely the inspiration for this thread.
Don't focus upon it too much.
I agree that we must take precautions to prevent the virus's spread.
But government is a very blunt an instrument, & is treating the issue
simplistically at the moment. Some businesses, while non-essential,
can operate with very low risk. And for contractors, there's no
program yet giving them money to weather the loss of business.
One local business was caught delivering mulch. Cops shut them
down as non-essential. But the nature of the business is such that
there's massive social distance. Mulch is loaded in dump trucks by
wheeled loaders. Dump trucks drop the load without drivers ever
leaving the vehicle. Human contact doesn't happen. Close proximity
doesn't happen.
Some self storage facilities are even deny tenants access to their
already rented units. I won't go that far We've closed the office,
but still allow tenants access to their units. There's virtually no
interaction between them, & they only touch their own units & locks.
There's very little activity anyway...perhaps 1 person a day.
