What No One Is Saying About the Corona Crisis

Each and every basic human right already is or is going to be violated and annihilated on the premise of this &quot;pandemic&quot;. It&#x27;s time to question, what&#x27;s your line in the sand here, and if you have a line in the sand at all, and what you&#x27;re going to do, when the police breaks into your home. How far is too far?<p>There was one comment that really states it brilliantly:<p>&quot;As someone with a compromised immune system, I want to put out there that I don&#x27;t want you, or anyone you know to have to be out of a job, or unable to make ends meet, in an effort to protect me from getting CV. I don&#x27;t need any of this, as I am an adult, capable of protecting myself. If I felt that this virus were a danger, I would stay home, and restrict my own movement to prevent an illness. I would never expect others to surrender their movement for my benefit.<p>The worst part of this event, is the economic impact of having so much of the workforce without work. Many folks live hand to mouth, and it would appear that the people in charge either didn&#x27;t think of the financial impact of those folks, or they just don&#x27;t care. The bills don&#x27;t stop coming, even though the paychecks have, even my wife has been laid off, and she recently discovered that her employer is in chapter 11 bankruptcy. So, who knows if she will even have a job at the end of this... My oldest daughter is also unemployed as a consequence of the shutdowns. I am certain that there are thousands of others going through the same thing right now. It is a real shame. This lockdown needs to end. If people want to stay home for a couple more weeks, let them do it without penalty. If people want to open their business, let them. It&#x27;s time to stop this collective madness.&quot;
