Our community (55+) should be the most vocal against this abuse of government power. Help the younger people to understand that this great country was not built on socialistic government control. Yes, they (the government) should apply all resources to finding a treatment, a vaccine, and informing the citizens of the best way to combat it. And yes, every individual and business owner should be free to choose to stay home or close it’s doors. And yes every church should decide what is best for their parishioners . But the government has vastly overstepped their moral and ethical bounds. Yes, they have the “right” to do what they have done only because they wrote it into their own laws and we the people choose to let them do it. But lessons need to be learned and the government needs to hear that they are out of line, else the next time they will encroach even further onto our civil liberties.
Let the shooting of the messenger begin!....

Firstly, we do not have nor are under any socialist governmental rule —the decisions you are talking about were made by Republican President and both Democratic and Republican Governors based on advice from all the leading epidemiologists in the country.
Secondly, The last pandemic we had in this country lasted 2 years — it was 100 years ago and we didn’t have the scientific expertise that we have now. Do you really want this pandemic to last that long? If not, stop making this a political issue —don’t listen to any government guidelines —but please listen closely to the infectious disease specialists who don’t take any political position, but call the shots as they see them.
