If the beaches are closed you have to follow the law. Just like as of a road is closed, you can’t go driving on it.

Less than 5% of coronavirus patients under 50 are hospitalized. Time to let America run free. Let us pursue happiness. Four walls is not freedom.
The over 50 crowd (me) and those with conditions can use the xtra caution, but time for some common sense.

Unlike other countries, it has so far avoided both isolation and economic ruin.

When I was 17 or so I was under some bleachers at a rodeo drinking beer. A large female police officer tried to apprehend me, and the subsequent chase may have looked a lot like this in terms of speed ratios.
I’m old enough to remember the Patriot Act. If you wanna lament a country that used to be free, looking prior to that would make even more sense.
I saw this graphic this morning. Pretty crazy given dang near the whole country has been shut in. The decisions to open chunks of the country back up are going to be difficult, and I sincerely mean that. If we are interested in a net-reduction of American suffering, the economic consequences of sheltering in place are a legitimate consideration too. I just don’t know if we’re there yet.
Check it out.

Not everyone agrees that Sweden has the right approach.

Create a sense of panic in the population via media and watch how fast that population gives up their freedoms. They actually ask that you take them away. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it myself.

I would have to question your "superpower" reference.
Wouldn't you think a country that considers itself number 1 in everything, would have been better prepared to deal with a virus?
Wouldn't its businesses, big and small, be better prepared to handle a few week shutdown?
Wouldn't its economy be able to absorb a few week shutdown?
Maybe we need to rethink what it really means to be a "superpower" and if we really are one.

We will see. As of right now, we had more people who lost their jobs this week than sweeden has people.
And at some point, we are going to have to open back up. So we will be bankrupt and at the point of increasing a death rate.

Define freedom...you've never been free, and have been told exactly what you're going to do your whole life. You've even been assigned/reduced to a number...
Get over it...because you're going to die the same way.
Have you ever run a business?

Feel free to expand on how you run a business with no income. Building was free? Lights? Gas? Insurance? Products? employees? Taxes?
I worked in a Kroger warehouse.
Ain't 2 weeks of food in one of those.
Probably the same as Wal-Mart, Costco, Associated.

WE are about to make that decision. Stay tuned.
I worked in Kroger warehouse after the last recession.
The orderfillers are ALL young dudes. I was the grandpa at 36.
Im Sure it's similar at Wal-Mart, Costco, Associated, Amazon.
Not sure why dudes climbing over each other in warehouses all day is any less safe than some dude sitting in his cubicle.
Or, a florist at her floral shop.

The same exact way that the very same business owners, that are crying the blues over less than a month shutdown tell YOU, and every other household that has bills...you have a contingency plan and savings if you're out of work.
Good advice, maybe they should practice what they preach.
