Dallas Ordering New Tough Restrictions

[ELB]

What's next? Curfew for all citizens? Bringing out the National Guard to enforce that curfew? Hmmmm......

Almost sounds like martial law, doesn't it?

"Officials in six San Francisco Bay Area counties issued a sweeping shelter-in-place mandate Monday affecting nearly 7 million people, ordering residents to stay at home and go outside only for food, medicine and outings that are absolutely essential."

and all the street sleepers must stay in their tents

Yeah, like the street sleepers are going to obey the law. I'll bet it's against San Fran policy for the police to "harass" them. With all the law-abidin' folks sequestered at home and the homeless camped out in every nook and cranny, and the mentally ill wandering the streets defecating everywhere, it would be easy to shoot a re-make of "The Omega Man". You'd only need the lead actor and that filming technique where the cameraman just follows the actor everywhere.

Anybody here old enough to remember what life was like before the Patriot Act?

Was it rescinded when Al Qaeda was defeated in Iraq and Afghanistan? How about after ISIS was defeated? Will it EVER be rescinded? Will gov’t EVER stop finding reasons to implement its provisions/restrictions? Will there ever NOT be an ongoing justification for the existence of the DHS; for the NSA spying on ALL Americans; etc., etc.?

There are some important principles at work here.....

1. Once liberty has been curtailed in the name of safety, it is never regained without violence.

2. The justifications for curtailing liberty in the name of safety ALWAYS arise out of a crisis made worse by the social autism of people who refuse to self-modify their behaviors in order to mitigate the crisis at hand.

3. By individually agreeing to modify certain of our behaviors in socially responsible ways for a temporary period of time until the crisis passes—thereby removing the opportunity for statism to override liberty—liberty can be protected from state-imposed "safety" measures that, one enacted, will become permanent impositions.

4. The degree to which the federal and various state and local gov’ts are imposing on individual liberty is directly proportional to the percentage of the population who are socially autistic and therefore unable (or more likely unwilling, from a lack of humility) to temporarily modify their own behaviors according to the crisis at hand.

5. Defend your liberty by any and all means. Sometimes, that means the exercise of two things: wisdom, and the long term view.

That’s my 5¢.

yep exactly what i was hinting at. i think more panic than facts I have spoken to a few that recovered and they had a rough few days with high fever, but pushed through without a hospital ventilator. i am sure older person by the nature of age and those with lung problems will take it harder, just like all the other viruses that like lungs.

The order enacted in San Francisco specifically exempts homeless people.

Waco just announced the same restrictions. I won't be surprised when Gatesville and or Coryell county does the same. Seems all of government is the same no matter what level.

And so it begins....

WASHINGTON – The U.S. government is in active talks with Facebook, Google and a wide array of tech companies and health experts about how they can use data gleaned from Americans’ phones to combat the novel coronavirus, including tracking whether people are keeping one another at safe distances to stem the outbreak.

Source? As someone working for the Federal government on a military installation, and who knows some National Guardsmen, I'm curious because I haven't seen or heard that one yet.

I don’t know anyone my friend. I lost a two friends to the flu last year. It wouldn’t surprise me if Dallas didn’t command you get a flu shot that you have no ideal what you are getting.

I want to say this also because I do not want people to think I am not taking this virus serious. I look at this virus as do all virus’. If you are sick stay home. If you are older or if you have a weak immune system and you don’t feel comfortable going out then don’t go. I don’t think it is right for anyone to look down on you and the choices you have made for you, your family, etc... I just don’t think anyone has the right to ORDER me to stay home.

I can confirm the Chicom virus is in Dallas.

worldometers shows that as of today in Italy 2,503 have died while only 2,941 of the sick have recovered. That should be a shocking fatality rate to anyone. The Italians are telling everyone outside of Italy to stay home. I believe them.

There was one of my masonic brothers that passed Monday due to C-19. However, he was 90 yo.
