How about everyone be free and just do the social distancing thing?

 

“_Those who give up liberty for security deserve neither._”

The actual quote: " Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. "

The US has been doing that until March 15th. Notice the exponential increase until then - seen as straight lines in the next-to-last chart here.

You're just a contrarian. Maybe a shill? Why are you here on SaidIt if you're just going to repeat corporate propaganda?

There's no shortage of content on /s/all that shows how Trump and others have completely fucked the pooch with this so called crisis. The economy wasn't strong or it wouldn't have collapsed. He said there was nothing to worry about until he about faced. To say that we are all free is bullshit when clearly people are getting arrested and martial law exists in some places.

Ad hominems. Lovely! How you cleverly dodge my point.

Not really. I needed to sleep. I don't have infinite time / energy / motivation to perpetually argue with someone who can't be skeptical.
