Sacramento Covid-19 Protest

[Sikon]

California capitol at the moment.. Wow is all I can say. 

Where as they have the right to do this... and that I do agree with.. I feel they're just prolonging how long we're having to stay out of work!

Wounding how high the cases will go up because of this.. 

 

[Raisin]

It's time to allow people to get back to work.  #Liberty

It will be interesting to revisit this in about 2 weeks but considering the population of California is about 40 million and with no more people than are at this demonstration this won't cause much of a blip on the radar, but for those states like Georgia and Texas who just through their doors wide open... we shall see.

Yeah, I don't think it will cause a huge spike state wide. I'm more concerned with the area. I live about 10-15 minutes from the capitol.  If the amount of people there are from the local area... It could raise our numbers.  But yes, time will tell.

Numerous court cases -- both previous and current -- clearly establish that in a state of emergency, the President of the United States along with individual state governors have the Constitutional and legal right to restrict travel, business, etc. In this specific case, it isn;t about a military action nor civil unrest. It's about the overall health, safety and well-being of all American citizens. The visus doesn't choose political or military sides ... it only chooses illness and death. I understand the financial and social hardship that this virus creates. However, only fools would contest any attempt to reduce and eliminate the threat. In fact, those that gather to protest are only creating a greater danger to themselves and the American public in general. We have only begun to see this virus in the real world and the deadly threat that it creates. It will only get worse if protests occur and politicians succumb to weakness and their overall lack of education, training and experience with this deadly virus and situation.

Its been reported that after basic investigations it was shown that many of these 'protests' are nothing more than political rallies sponsored and organized by various PACs and such.

[PimpedOutPete]

Is it not sad that individuals health and safety  have become a political pawn? 

[Labob]

Maybe its natures way of thining the herd 

[Labob]

Somebody should of open up a Mr Clean shooter stand hehe

[GhostfaceJim]

Seems like they are putting vulnerable peoples lives at risk.

[Sammy]

After witnessing people go nuts over toilet paper among other things, cant really trust the masses. The latest scare is beef. Not that there is an actual shortage. But we now know when a population *thinks* there is a shortage. They create one.

And apparently, the worst of the hoarders from before are now trying to return things and get their money back. Sorry douches.

[TheHammer]

WoW !!!!!!!!

[RobMc]

Seeing what's happening across the pond with panic beef buying Rob thought he'd get ahead of the crowd. Went out on my scooter last night and rounded up my own stock in a local farmers field, 1 cow, 2 sheep, a horse and a poacher, couldn't wait and slaughtered the poacher this morning, any tips on recipes?

My plan is to sell the horse to Frenchi, who ate the last one he owned, then with the francs buy some wine and cheese, for the end of lockdown party.  Plonked the cow on the front lawn, should be plenty to keep it going, already neighbours seem anti smallholding and enterprise. The sheep have been a bit more troublesome, my collie keeps moving them to different houses in the street, the fckr wags his tail every time ? Solved this by disguising them as zebras with a bit of paint, collie lost interest but the local kids think I've opened a zoo. Solved this by telling their parents that I'm Jimmy Savilles brother.

Now I just need a cabbage patch, wheres my old dollies ?????

If anyone really believes that social distancing will stop this virus, I have ocean front property in Arizona I'd love to sell you.

You are just a subject to infection going to the grocery store or home depot as you are in these rallies.

Especially because people that wear masks and gloves have  a false sense of security and  99.5% of those people have no clue of how to properly wear PPE and reduce contamination.

The fact is the virus is here to stay.  

Studies have proven that the actual infection rate is 50 to 80 times higher than the MSM is reporting.  Why?  Because people are NOT getting tested when they are sick.  They are NOT going to the hospital....because the fact is they don't need to.  

If you fear catching it.  Stay locked in your houses with the curtains closed.  That will only keep you safe for so long.

'Rona will catch all of us eventually.

In the meantime open the country back up.  Take common sense measures to protect yourself.  Stay OUT of my personal space and for god sake wash your damn hands!

But I'm only a firefighter / EMT....what the hell do I know (or what have I personally experienced)?

 

[Sixgun]

Get people back to work. Protest!! That's another civil liberty they are trying to take away from the american people!

[PainKiller]

Ah yes, natural selection how I have missed you.

Yes, the financial and economic affects of this virus are felt worldwide. We're all fed up of being stuck in our homes, not being able to work and do what we enjoy. But give thanks for those working on the front-line day in and day out to keep the rest of us alive and well. I hate not being at work, it's driving me completely mad. I can't see my loved ones such as my mother, brother, nephew and my girlfriend. But, I accept that this is the best course to try and plateau the infection.

If these sorts people wanna go outside and protest and risk catching and spreading the infection, on their head be it. If they get sick, that's their fault really. All it takes is one person to catch it in a crowd.

[Labob]

So the question ends up as its your freedom. We do know this virus kills. What happens say one of those freedom loving protesters ends up with the virus. After they say they do not care and it won't kill me. They hand it off to there mom or dad. One of them dies. Would it be possible to press murder charges against that freedom loving protester who said they do not care and they would not die from it ? With freedom comes responsibility and accountability. I see as an accident that scenario happening. But to do that with the knowledge that you might end up passing it along and killing somebody. Well that's what I call willful negligence and ya should be held accountable. Eye for an eye right ? 

[KaptCrunch]

cave people didn't have worry for monies cause was no 1%er controlling them, has money replaced the whip and money put us into bondage to it !
OT got my mask, face, shield and gloves on to serve custumers
feel like a spaceman

So what's your suggested solution?  Stay locked in our houses with our curtains drawn until the government says it's okay to go back outside?

No thanks.....

Have everyone wear masks in enclosed public spaces. Seems to be working well in Czech Republic/South Korea/Hong Kong etc...

Not saying its 100% fullproof, but would drastically cut transmission without the need for lockdown and keep the infection rate down so as not to overwhelm hospitals.

 Thats kinda like saying winchester murdered millions on people ? Or IDK who invented chlorine but there's a whopper of a gas. Anyway there is no proof that I have read that its man made and proof that it is all natural. But still does not answer the problem of willfully spreading the thing. Its akin to those numnuts spitting on food in the grocery stores. What do you feel like doing to them ? What do you think should happen to them if somebody dies of the virus ?  Do we let our elders die so we can protect our economy ? I think were all smart enough to keep apart and where we can't find another solution PPE sure if it works or maybe quarantinenten  all the protesters for 2 weeks after they had there say.  They get there freedom we get our right to be safe. In the end people will do what they want and if it goes good I'm happy if it goes south well this last's longer for some. Hell even I said screw it this week and told my oldest she can bring the grandkids over and the oldest grandkid is having a long overdue sleep over. But we live in a place that has had only 2 cases reported in 2 weeks. So I get it but I'm not out looking to make a crowd I want this over or whatever over is going to look like. I believe suffer a bit now of suffer for a long time later. Plus with the amount of money our government is handing out OMG I do not think we can do this twice. I also find it sad Gary Larson has passed because he would have so much material to play with.

Question , whom are you really upset at? The medical data doesn't suggest an early opening. The consensus is outbreaks will happen and we will be taking a step back rather than foreword. That's from the medical establishment.

So again, are you upset the government or the medical establishment, whom in reality only want to save lives. Maybe protesters should be picketing their local hospitals, see how far that gets you.

 

[PimpedOutPete]

Oh, I have a suggestion. People can begin injecting disinfectants into themselves to prop up  their immune system. I have heard this suggestion from the so called highest authority in the nation. 

If that's the case, have at it! See you at my emergency department real soon!

It's scary on the front lines. My mom, my aunts and my partner work in the local hospital dealing with the outbreak every day.

Think of it this way: Have you had to bury a loved one? Have you had to turn off the ventilator on a patient because they couldn't be saved? Have you had to tell someones family "Sorry, we can't do anything to save them." ?
That bloke you shook hands with could have had it, he could be dead next week or tomorrow. That old woman in the shopping center could be a carrier and might have days left. We've not been told to stay in our homes against our wills or the like. We've been told to keep ourselves and OTHERS safe. use precautionary measures. Use PPE, wash your hands, do your bit to help protect other people. Not just yourself but your loved ones. Those who are ignorant about it will quickly change their tone when they get it or have to bury a loved one or get their asses saved by the hospital. Hospitals and other healthcare areas are completely stretched thin - staying home and keeping yourselves and others safe is also helping the healthcare system by taking the strain off of them. Just be glad you're alive, be glad you're safe. And be thankful to those working their asses off keeping others safe.
