I keep seeing this on my FaceBook and I just have to say something about it. I don't feel like fighting everyone who disagrees on FB about it so I'm going to post this here.
I'm tired of everyone's selfish thinking on this.
Might get political, ignore if you want.

FIRST OF ALL. The definition of quarantine is as follows: a state, period, or place of isolation in which people or animals that have arrived from elsewhere or been exposed to infectious or contagious disease are placed. Being outside means you get exposed to the virus.
You can be put in quarantine if you come in contact with someone/something that is dangerous and can spread. This isn't an attack or house arrest. This is to prevent the spread of a disease. While yes, there is a high survival rate, after you survive you can get it again.
And we're starting to see some lasting damage from the survivors. Lasting damage and living through hell does not seem worth it AT ALL. Even if you aren't likely to die from it.
Plus, I'd like to mention that we have evidence of them doctoring their research and putting entire groups of people in their own bracket, not counting towards to the total. So yes. Please stay inside. Keep yourself and others safe. Don't be stupid.
Next should be VERY SIMPLE. Social Distancing. It's not saying that being distance is social, it's saying you should distance yourself from all thing social. Bc this virus is highly contagious. Stop going to social gatherings. It isn't hard.
This third point. This one is very important. Yes. A lot of people are in bad situations. And if they are it would be best to find a way out NOW. In fact here's the National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-7233. If you or someone you know is in a bad spot,
call this number or have them call. Other forms of help are available too if you need it.
That being said, it's safer to be away from the general public in these times. Stay way from crowds as often as possible.

Yes. Staying home is for the "Greater Good". And yes, the government can decide such things. Don't get me wrong, they are THREADING the line. But they have to do what's best for the COUNTRY. Not just what makes Karen's and Kevin's feel better.
This isn't an argument about freedom. This is about keeping everyone safe. And some jobs are supplying a luxury. If we don't need luxuries then luxuries aren't going to be prioritized.
What is shit of the government is having a lot of people lose their jobs and not have a way to
What is shit of the government is having a lot of people lose their jobs and not have a way to
help them pay their rent. Everyone is essential, but not every job is.
Also, while yes, we're scarily similar to that time in Germany's past, this isn't the reason why. The fact that this is why this person is saying this is how we're like that time period shows their lack of
Also, while yes, we're scarily similar to that time in Germany's past, this isn't the reason why. The fact that this is why this person is saying this is how we're like that time period shows their lack of
social awareness, understanding, and possibly even compassion for other humans like they're trying to pretend they have.
And this last part. We aren't saying that this pandemic is the new normal. We're saying that this pandemic is showing us that "normal" is flawed and broken.

The misery caused by this pandemic can be partially avoided if we took the necessary steps initially to prioritize the individual over the country a long time ago.
"But Bones" I hear you say, "I thought you said all of this was to make sure that the country was safe. But
"But Bones" I hear you say, "I thought you said all of this was to make sure that the country was safe. But
now you're saying that we should have prioritized the individual. Make up your mind!"
I know what I said. The economic structure we have made for this country falls apart once the working class get's f*cked. We should have had ways to catch that way sooner than this.

The economy and general structure is flawed, corners have been cut to further fill the pockets of those who were already up top. If those rules weren't in place this pandemic wouldn't be fucking up this country as hard as it is.
So when we say "New Normal" we're saying that instead of going back to the way things were, we need to take a step back and figure out how to make it BETTER for everyone. And yes, that includes the people who are out here trying to say that this virus is fake and that
being told to stay inside for the well being of those who aren't as immune capable as them is "Against their constitutional rights as Americans".
Ok, that's the end of the thread. If you did read it cool. But also I don't think I'll engage in any of the comments on this thread. I don't have the energy for arguments. Thank you.
