Quarantine those at risk.
Making the cure worse than the disease as we certainly have done, has done more harm than good.

 

The state of calamity extension only means that the national government is authorized to continue supporting COVID19 costs with extra federal money, including checkpoints, additional money for police and military and even help with the costs of distributing and administrating vaccines if they ever have one. It has no relation to continuing lockdowns, only to help support them if they are called. They are just extending this for 1 year in case the money is needed.

Time to throw gas on the fire.

 

Another lockdown, prior to the next lockdown. I feel like China must be super happy.

 

I respect the right of everyone to make personal decisions based on their own risk analysis - with the caveat that it respects the law and the interests of the planet (in which I include the environment and all living things). I know you follow the rules about masks and don't want the elderly near you (!), so I can see why you and people like @eskirvin (who look so young - bonus points please!) feel non-threatened and dislike to see the economy wrecked (as do all of us actually).

But I cannot grasp why you call those who are elderly "scared" - it negates the fact they have simply done their own risk analysis (as you have) and want to be 'cautious'.

Although a 'masker' I always held the position that it is 'horses for courses' and very local and personal decisions should be made in the case of a pandemic - there is no 'one glove fits all'. So, I support the use of PPE but do not support many of the rules, some extremely pointless, which have helped damage economies. But in no way am I "scared" of the virus - I am more scared of you!
