or you are paranoid beyond all belief. Your buddy Trump fast tracked this thing.

Thank you. I tried Control+C and it didn't work. This is a Chromebook. The clicks would not bring up the box until after an update. Now center click brings up cut, paste, spell check, etc. I am good now.

You are an astute meme selector. Do you have other talents as well?

That depends on how contagious the virus is in asymptomatic carriers. Lock downs may be needed when a new virus emerges with potential to be the next black plague. Events that look like overreaction in hindsight, may under other circumstances save countless lives. We do have to balance...

Tomo, This is my understanding: The Federal Government has immunity from suit. State government supposedly has to give you permission to sue them. You can sue the officials involved and in this way seek accountability.

If having a mask on gives the wearer the impression they can now hug every stranger they meet or they use the mask to first let an infected individual blow their nose in it - the mask made things worse. Worries about breathing your own carbon dioxide or concentrating your own viral load are...

You seemed to imply masks do nothing to help stop the virus. Do you respect businesses and churches that require masks for entry? People can choose not to enter. Have a family member enter for them or attend remotely, etc.

Because a population is vaccinated to starve a virus over time. An individual is vaccinated to reduce the odds of infection, but does not lead to imperviousness.

Please, ban me only after making those who paint me dishonest demonstrate the dishonesty specifically and allowing my response. I have been entirely sincere in my posts and represent no one but myself. I have followed forum rules as I understand them. My level of ire has remained below those...

You are being ridiculously simplistic here. Masks help, but because they do not absolutely stop the virus, you reject them completely. This is what Fauci has to deal with: Concrete, all-or-or none thinkers. Should we tell such people a mask protects others from you more than it protects you...

Fauci and anyone in his position has to make decisions based on a evolving data base AND he has to predict how the public could over-react or under-react to information based on how it is presented. Fauci has made adequate decision in a thankless job.

Good question. I do not know how to draw the line on how serious the risk must be in order to mandate restrictions. Some level of risk must be tolerated, but how much?

Damn you Fauci for being honest and thorough! The reason the development of a vaccine takes years usually is that the vaccine must be similar enough to the virus to create an immune response but not so similar that you get the full blown disease or worse. The mRNA technology which has been in...

Predicted from the beginning? All I heard was the virus would disappear after the election ad nauseum. If this is just a drummed up reaction over almost nothing, why is it continuing when Biden's approval rating has plummeted down almost as low as Trump had?

Yes. But, the restrictedness should be rationally related to our understanding of the particular virus. HIV was not an airborne disease. They really should have required testing before entering a bath house or similar. A case could be made for quarantining a promiscuous person who refused to...

I haven't referenced covid and neither does the legislation. The legal language addresses a epidemic generically. If you wanted to make a good point, you could suggest that the legislation operationalize the level of risk needed for a governor to allow quarantine rather than leave it to the...

What you declare is meaningless because you are not a state governor duly elected by the people. And, even a governor is charged to act reasonably. If it was obvious the disease was not really communicable or serious, a violation of the Constitution has occurred and the state can be sued.

Should a known carrier of a lethal communicable disease during a declared health crisis just be allowed to mingle if they so choose? --- because Freedom?

No, but I have some thoughts about you in particular. Did you quote from the review study's conclusions? Or Cherry pick from poor estimates?

Okay I figured out cut and paste. I have had this laptop about a week and the mouse is weird. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24963027/ A good review article as it evaluates previous attempts to estimate the incidence of death which are wildly different...
