    LOL He learned well from Daddy. Milk every single penny from people desperate enough or stupid enough to believe you pseudo Christian bullshit. As a Christian I am disgusted and ashamed for this man and this organization of hatred to claim they are Christian.

    I'm on two weeks vacation and while I'm hoping for the best I don't see this dying down in that amount of time. This administration doesn't care about the middle class or poor and never did. If you vote to reelect Trump after all this is said and done, you're a fool.

    He will overrule him, and this ******* probably knows it, and will use it to secede to West Virginia, where the governor recently, uh, did this.

    You guys realize that many, many "essential" business are continuing to operate full out right now, right? Restaurants (for takeout), grocery stores, policemen, energy, chemicals, etc are all running... Liberty opening up will probably be safer than these businesses operating, since we are talking about a younger group of people (low risk). Only the elderly OR those with underlying conditions are at risk here. They can continue to self isolate.

    GOOD DAY

    Yes, essential services... The elderly still have to do their groceries and go to CVS to pick up their medication. There is a limit to how much they can isolate themselves. Even if they have caregivers like children, those children still have to be in contact them with occasionally. When they go there, having non essential places like universities open increases the risk of those elderly contracting the virus when they go to these stores. We are all connected in some manner. Think of Kevin Bacon's six degrees of seperation.

    True, and given that we are all connected, most would have been exposed to the virus by now... and if they don't have it, then they have adequate immune system defenses. By your own logic, things will be low-risk very soon!

    GOOD DAY

    Um, how about, "If you voted to elect Trump, you're a fool. If you don't vote for him this time, I'll mostly forgive you. If you vote for him again, you're a godda**ed fool and there is no hope for you."

    Are you assuming the virus is transmitted instantaneously at the same time amongst the entire population?

    No, it takes time for viruses to diffuse amongst the population. Please don't make me question whether you are gaslighting and trolling here because these are pretty absurd statements you are making.

    You have been wrong about every single thing about the COVID outbreak before this. Confidence does not confer competence, my conservative conquistador.

    Not sure who you're replying to, but I think there's something important to consider for our BBS community, a place many of us value a great deal.

    1. We have a true national emergency. For many of us, this is the most serious event we've seen in our lifetimes. People are getting sick from a novel virus to which our bodies have very little natural immunity. It's a scary time, and in such times, we need to be our best selves for one another.

    2. Whether someone is trolling or gaslighting should not be distinguished, given point 1. There's no room for it. You're a straight up sociopath if you keep up certain internet behaviors, which aren't patently dangerous in more normal times.
