    Why not? Ok, perhaps attempted murder is too strong of a charge. I am no legal expert, and I did not stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, but surely the complete disregard for social distancing on a grand scale right now is dangerous, and should be a chargeable offense as they are potentially spreading a deadly virus, willfully.

    Or is the virus only deadly if it suits certain political agendas?

    Ah, yeah....you frightened Snowflakes DEFINITELY believe it.

    Don't beg. Just go and do your homework......you'll find that AL Gore and many fear mongers have made all kinds of dire predictions.
    Your side said 2,000,000 Americans would die from covid19

    Why does your side love fear mongering so much? THAT is the question.

    lmao

    Acting like a child doesn't do much for your credibility, assuming you had any to lose.

    Why should I have done so?

    No, I think this was much more effective...

    Well, since the middle of March (when this entire panic began), I have worn a mask only once: That was when I received a haircut--and the place that I got it required a mask. (In retrospect, I probably should have just declined the haircut.)

    Perhaps there are some hotspots (New York City leaps to mind) in which these regulations make some sense.

    But not so much in Butte, Montana.

    Or in Casper, Wyoming.

    Or even here in Tennessee...

    The implications of your post are quite clear. You think that the businesses and livelihoods of millions of law-abiding citizens should continue to be shut down, but that the domestic terrorists looting and destroying our cities are of no particular concern to you, perhaps because they don't "subject" well to regulation.

    Since you lack reading skill, it says the opposite of what you think it does.

    "Although officials may say that SARS-CoV-2 is “just another flu,” this is not true."

    You're gonna love the Fall.

    No matter how much evidence you give to morons, they will never see the light.

    it is much more important to them to hold the "moral high ground", regardless of how wrong they most certainly are.

    Once again, you demonstrate zero ability to actually respond to my posts and instead feel the need to fabricate my position.

    So, rather than get the facts, you're doubling down on a platform of ignorance?

    Ooooooooooh Kay then.

    ...No, they do not.

    Here is the CDC website.

    https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/index.html

    The closest that they reach to 80,000 (which would still be less than two ****ing months of Covid-19) is the 61,000 estimate that make for the 2017-2018 season.

    Says the guy who thinks the CDC estimated 80,000 last year when it was 61,000 for the 2017-18 season.

    Do you know the definition of "puppet" ?

    We're in a plague that is going to kill some number in the hundreds of thousands, and you're acting like a child.

    Latest guidance from the WHO....

    • If you are healthy, you only need to wear a mask if you are taking care of a person with COVID-19.
    • Wear a mask if you are coughing or sneezing.

    When dealing with children, one must ;)

    "The Sky is Falling!! The Sky is Falling!

    Fear mongering works well with weak minds

    I find that when I try to deal with you folks in an adult manner, it's like trying to flip pancakes with a straw. I can't ever recall one time that presentation of facts and solid logic ever meant a damn thing to snowflakes.

    At no point did my "side" say that Covid-19 would kill 2 million Americans. The worst case scenario prediction from the Imperial College, a very early model, said that 2 million Americans would die in a scenario where zero pandemic control measures were taken.

    Did you know that the CDC estimates only 34,000 died LAST YEAR FROM THE SEASONAL FLU?

    I am aware they revised their information recently. Yes.
    Corruption is rampant.

    let me guess, you believe Google to be a reliable, unbiased source ?

    Oh I agree that the riots are dangerous, both directly as they relate to physical violence and indirectly as they relate to covid-19.

    But no, there is no realm of possibility where these individuals would be guilty of any crimes related to covid-19 unless you could prove that individuals knew they were sick and intentionally tried to spread the virus to others. And even then you are talking about battery and/or assault.
