You may not be sure but, I am.

The protest was to open things up.
Do we know if this guy got the covid from going to a bar? Maybe it was at the grocery store that was already open.
You're making assumptions and then arguing with me because I pointed out the flaws in your post.
Like it's somehow my fault.
You keep saying there are flaws in my post but, have failed to point them out.
Let's just assume you're right. He got it from a grocery store that was already open. If that's true then wouldn't it follow that opening things up even more would exponentially increase the risk to everyone? (The was rhetorical. The answer is yes.)

No one in this thread mentioned anything about people thinking it's a fake virus or conspiracy theories. You did. Why? To try and bolster your arguments making this political? It didn't do you any favor's here.

Wanting freedom from a government that is overreaching their authority in random and arbitrary fashion does not mean that a person underestimates the virus. Your claim of "irony" here suggests you feel otherwise.
You keep claiming government overreach. You're arguing this point over and over while ignoring the realities of what's going on. The numbers in the US continue to skyrocket. This isn't some abstract debate. There are real people getting infected and dying everyday. It's only gotten worse as states follow your logic and open things up more. Are you basing your argument on some technicality or do you really believe everything should just be opened up and let the chips fall where they may? The chips in this case are people's lives. I'm seriously trying to understand where you're coming from.
How many times have the Fed's, State's or local governments enforced evacuation orders for other natural disasters? A hurricane heads for a city and people are forced to leave quite often. No one has had any problems with that. Sure, people defy those orders and risk their lives. This pandemic is a natural disaster too. The one major difference being you aren't just risking your life by defying a stay at home order. You're risking everyone's.
