    Disgusting soul.

    I think it's a bit naive for them to not practice social distancing but I think it's much more naive and insidious to want martial law.

    Ahh, but there isn't just two alternatives

    In order for Plan A to work you have to hope that after a month or two the virus just pretty much disappears...somehow

    It's worked in eastern China so far, maybe

    But they are out of their winter and still have their borders closed

    Plan A means we also have to keep our borders closed to anyone that may visit a country that hasn't contained it

    Maybe it didn't happen where you were, but I saw people toting weapons making it about more than just stay-at-home. I saw people hanging out of vehicles like they're piloting their way out of an apocalyptic nightmare; not only an exaggeration but also fostering panic with a blatant disregard for any regulation, let alone the social distancing recommendations.

    I don't know that I would describe them as naive for doing what they've done/are doing. Malicious? Vindictive? I don't know, but I definitely feel that a government response is wholly and fully appropriate. I'm sorry we don't agree.

    Man arrested after breaking into Disneyland amid temporary closure, police say

    This is what we can expect more of... It's juvenile delinquency in its full-adult form. Call me establishmentarian, but don't call me foolish. This is the sort of thing perpetuated by the anti-establishment rhetoric of late. People think "free for all" and next thing you know someone is trying to loot Disneyland, not that they can't afford it...

    Italy reported 2,256 new cases today 454 new deaths

    They have been in lockdown 6 weeks, supposedly, so where are all these new cases coming from, those 454 new deaths, they would have contracted the virus a couple weeks ago, when the country had been in lock down for a month

    ....unless you are not really seeing the truth as to how many people are following the rules...30 second videos for the media of soldiers in the middle of Milan

    yea... and they had a stringent lockdown from what I understand, which is what, I'm assuming, soldiers are doing in Milan. In theory, the disease ought to taper off as people recover and become non-contagious. It should cease to spread further after that... i don't get it either.

    My best guesses... they are neglecting other causes of death or COVID-19 is pure magic and defies biology and physics.

    "Facebook says it has removed events in Nebraska, New Jersey and California promoting protests against stay-at-home measures amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

    But the social media company, which has been under pressure to police harmful content and misinformation related to the pandemic, said it would only take down anti-quarantine protest events if they defied government guidelines."

    Facebook removes anti-quarantine events

    Censorship gets real

    These people are blocking the entrance to the ER which endangers people. They are also in a large group with no masks for the most part. Nurses are having none of their shit.
