Dear @IngrahamAngle:
You need to do some research. Everything you're saying here about civil liberties is factually incorrect.

During the Spanish flu of 1917-1919, St. Louis closed churches. https://aleteia.org/2020/03/19/when-was-the-last-time-churches-in-the-u-s-were-closed/
St. Louis had the lowest flu death rate of any city its size.
As for World War II, how about the internment of Japanese, German, and Italian Americans?
Have you been interned yet?

Woodrow Wilson used the Espionage Act of 1917 to prevent any open criticism of America's involvement in World War I. https://share.america.gov/civil-liberties-wartime/
You just interviewed the Attorney General.
In 1917, here's what Attorney General Thomas Watt Gregory said about war dissenters:
"May God have mercy on them, for they need expect none from an outraged people and an avenging government."

The US government prosecuted almost 2000 people FOR DISSENT TO THE WAR.
They were sentenced to federal penitentiaries for 10 to 20 years.
This absolutely prevented ANY DEBATE ABOUT THE WAR.

The Supreme Court UPHELD THE CONVICTIONS.
People thought they were going to do 20 years in prison FOR SPEAKING.
The last dissenter was released in 1923 after five years.

THIS IS NOTHING.
Honestly, you're minimizing the suffering of people who were GENUINELY oppressed by the government.
I've had it with the endless panic mongering. You and all the other pampered Americans have no idea what real oppression is.

Try growing up in a country where they arbitrarily snatched you off the street and imprisoned you until you bribed them to let you out.
One way to stop the repeated snatching was to convert a Browning Automatic Rifle into a short carbine and make 30-round magazines for it.

That's what my father did.
Thirty rounds of .30-06 bullets fired at full auto kills an entire carload of secret-police snatchers.
They leave you alone after that because they're now afraid of you.

How would you like to live like an animal out of necessity?
This crisis is showing just how weak and whiny too many people are.
Instead of stoking fears, DO SOME RESEARCH and tell your viewers to calm the hell down.

It's truly disgusting to watch the entire press fail across the board.
