i'm not defending a lockdown or marshall law. usa and south Korea are apple and oranges. they are managing well enough because of hard learned lessons from previous pandemics.
Spoken like a ignorant person who has decided to stop even trying to be rational and submit wholly to fear. SMH.

If you are saying their should be a nation wide restriction on travel, movement, commerce, and lockdown of inhibitants like a prison, then you are not just defending marshall law, you are advocating it.

S. Korea and the US aren't apples and oranges, S. Korea was hit and instituted a policy of information spreading. Telling people how to reduce exposure and pushing testing so that people could know their status and self isolate. Privately stores said hey if you aren't being proactive in limiting exposure we won't let you in our stores, no government force, private market measures and government pushing knowledge to save, not fear mongering to increse their power.

Look at italy, they locked cities and the nation down and they have found nothing but more new cases, people building resentment and lack of community. S. Korea did the opposite, killed new cases in a week and are getting ready to go back to normalcy, quicker than even china.

You want to learn a lesson from history, marshall law and totalitarian measures, historically once implemented are "authorizations" that never go away, because suddenly everything will be a matter of national health and require the authority more and more often. All while its turned against those that society marginalizes first. Who do you think that is in the US?

Italy only did after too many were infected, also I wouldn’t compare SK to US because their citizens are probably better at taking info than Americans, let’s be real

Summary for brehs who don’t want to read.

History has shown us that once totalitarians gain power of people’s lives they never rescind it. That’s what taking place. Now anytime to invade or control our lives it will be in the name of public health or safety. US Constitution be damned. Totalitarian regimes are hard on everyone but they’re especially hard on the already marginalized, in our case, blacks.

Italy simply had to tell people to minimize contact with the elderly or move the elderly to areas away from the general popluace, in their urban centers, so that spread was minimized.

All the lockdown did was force the elderly to be in close proximity with those who were carriers of the disease and increase their risk of exposure and infection and then you get what is happening there.

This is what happens when you have politicians and government voices that simply want to be seen as enforcing state power, more than being effective. You get massive deaths during a lockdown, loss of public services, loss of commerce, and the lowering quality and standard of living in a already low nation.

And that is what you panic stricken people are lobbying for hear. SMH

The people didn’t ask for this. You made me have an epiphany. Isolate the most vulnerable people and let the rest of the world continue. It’s not an STD or flesh eating. Young and healthy folks can withstand it and just chill off the scene for a couple of weeks.

This is the media’s fault with their propaganda. How much hysteria they caused made governments feel like they have to be doing something.

Talked to my sis earlier today she works as a P.A. in a clinic. She says they've switched to "telecare" as much as possible, having people do their doctor visits over skype because they don't want sick/elderly folk gathering in crowded waiting rooms.

She also said they're low on EVERYTHING so far as equipment goes. Medical professionals are supposed to use 1 mask per patient but now they saying keep using the same mask for as many patients as possible until that shyt gets moist (which means no longer effective) cause there ain't enough masks to go around.

Greatest country on earth, brehs

I agree..

We're definitely going to move from vaccination as an option to being mandatory..

You think it will be just be vaccines? Wait until a chief executive of a municipality shuts someone that they don’t like’s business in the name of unfounded health risk or invade homes without search warrants in the vain of public health.
