Americans have in several states been living under virtual house arrest ordered by their Governors. Travel outside the home except to buy groceries or pot is banned in many states. The Mayor of New York City has said that any churches that violate his orders will be closed “permanently” and several Governors have outlawed protests against their orders. The stories of people being arrested for playing catch with their children, surfing by themselves or playing golf are seen daily in the press. In California, people sitting in their cars enjoying the sunset were ticketed earlier this week and will have to pay a one thousand dollar fine.
These orders are all being issued in the name of public health even though many of them make little or no sense from a public health perspective. Is it, for example, outrageous for protestors in Michigan to ask their Governor why banning them from purchasing house paint or garden seeds will help defeat the Coronavirus? Or for a retired law enforcement officer in Colorado to wonder why he should be arrested for playing catch with his daughter in a public park that was open and what his arrest will do to save his fellow citizens from infection?
Now there is evidence that the degree of infection and the death rate per million in the eight states that have refused to issue stay at home orders are no higher and in several cases much lower than in those states that have banned life as usual. In each of these states, the Governors have closed restaurants and the like, but haven’t closed their economies or banned activities that have no logical or proven role in fighting the pandemic. Each has, instead, relied on their citizens to make rational decisions and have had faith in them to voluntarily maintain “social distancing” and large crowds. Their approach has widespread support within their states and they face neither the protests nor coming widespread refusal to obey the mandatory rules being promulgated for no good reason in other states. Others, however, have attacked them for not going along with the quasi-dictatorial approach taken by other Governors.
Last week, Professor Wilfred Reilly of Kentucky State University released a study of the infection and death rates per million inhabitants in those eight states (Arkansas, Iowa, Nebraska, North & South Dakota. Oklahoma, Utah and Wyoming) as compared to the rates in the states with draconian shelter at home rules. The study took into account various factors including population density, median age, income and diversity and found that from a statistical perspective at least much of what was being ordered or banned has had little impact on the Coronavirus. If Professor Reilly’s findings are correct, Americans are being deprived of their traditional rights and freedom by Governors and Mayors based more on a whim than on actual data.
Some, like New Jersey’s Governor Philip Murphy, have little regard for individual freedom anyway. He dismissed concerns about individual freedom last week by telling television interviewer Tucker Carlson that ”The Bill of Rights is above my pay grade.” Others, perhaps remembering the oath they took when elected may, on seeing the evidence, actually begin loosening up and allowing citizens of their states to begin reclaiming the rights that have been taken from them for what turns out to be no good reason.
Or at least we can hope they will.

Confirm You’re Registered to Vote for Trump [ACT NOW]
nothing more than a power grab by these rat govenors , civil war 2020 down south locked and loaded. trump2020-2024
Agree with you 100% same here out west lock and loaded.
No it isn’t needed. You need to see this synopsis that is only 13 minutes long. There is a long version but you will see all you need to with this version. https://youtu.be/xerdF__8rYE
Thank you!!!
True……nothing but power mongering.
Not a power grab. Just part of the effort to destroy the economy and remove Trump from office in November. You see, even if they opened EVERYTHING back up on May 1, the businesses will have much fewer customers since 22 million people do not have JOBS;
They knew exactly what they were doing. And the Republican governors who caved to “medical” advise are either stupid or puppets.
God help us.
By November 3, Virus will be around, February economy will not.
Besides these two negatives look very impelling, instead are soft decisional, do not attract unifying vote.
Watching polls (with no reason to lye), people show 70%: Dislike China now (obvious why) and are afraid of the virus, why? Well, is not really of the virus, but the consequences to be infected by the virus, why?
Death is out of the equation if not too old with a deficient immune system which 70% of people are not. The fear is needing to land in a hospital away from home and family where you may add some other infection or enhance the one already in. Fear will disappear and confidence to take risk come back if there could be a safe therapy that you can take at home (popping some pills) supervised by your own doctor perhaps even by phone. How lucky we are, that drug (HCLQ) is available at low cost.
I understand China, WHO, the Media, opposition parties are against the use of the drug, but surprise the own administration Task Force allies with them. At the end of the day (Nov. 2). Fear (in or gone) will decide the outcome of the election.
Why does it seem that most of the corona virus cases and deaths seem to be in Democrat run s**tholes? Places that used to be nice cities.
Did you notice when Congress convened recently to pass the PPP?(484 billion dollars). The DEMS (both men and women) did not follow the guides how not to spread the corona-virus.
Especially Pelosi, Nagler, some others approached the podium with facemask but not worn properly or left it hanging on their ear or hand hold it and then later hold the podium and mike.
Hope not one these congressmen and congresswomen catches up the corona-virus by not practicing what they preach to the piblic.
God is still God. And His judgement is sure. Those who refuse to turn to Him for salvation will surely die for eternity. And some of them will die NOW, a physical death.
“Do not fear the one who can destroy the body, but fear the one who after destroying the body, can destroy the soul.”. Eternity if a very long time.
An early comment on a discussion group was, “We are being played.” Turns out, the commenter was right.
There are millions in grant money going into a corrupt academia in the “effort to find a vaccine.” Equally-or even more-corrupt world figures on the globalist left, see tuis as an opportunity to use “vaccination” as an excuse to track everyone in the world, 24 hours a day, by means of a microchip insertion (yes, Bill Gates and his political cohort actually advocate this. And guess who would manufacture and sell the chips and the tracking software?). Equally corrupt, but saner players on the left see this as a way to wreck world economies and establish global socialism.
We have a cheap, effective solution in hydroxychloroquine treatment. Everybody knows it, which is why the money-and-power-players are terrified of it and are assiduously promoting lies, including phony “studies,” to discredit it.
We have a choice: let them get away with it, or don’t.
John 14:1-3
Better yet, we have the actual cure that hydroxychloroquine was a synthetic and patentable version. Tonic water, which contains quinine and requires no prescription. But you need Zinc in your system for it to do its job, passing the Zinc through your cell membranes. And after drinking it once after you HAVE the Zinc, no need unless you feel something coming on at a later time when you have maintained the level of Zinc. If you ever DO overdose in Zinc you cannot miss it, will have a heavy metallic taste in your mouth, so just take less. Start with 100mg for about a week, the tonic after about 3 days, if get the taste drop to 50 mg/day to maintain.
I agree these lockdowns if they continue will be the downfall of the economy.
And most are the blue states. Who are the ones that want to extend the stay at home orders. Knowing that we could fall into a recession. And my question if they are effective how come people who forced to stay home. Are still getting sick? I say reopen
because if we wait until Nov 3rd. It will take more than a miracle to recover! Which means higher costs. Taxes and a depression!
The lockdown is planned to make us less able to fight illness, it is wrong. We NEED to get out and be exposed to things to stay immune to anything. Every time we have tried to live in clean environments it only made us be unable to handle ANY problems, does not work and never has. Doctors KNOW THIS.
You need to watch this…
https://youtu.be/xfLVxx_lBLU
Excellent video!!
I took the time to watch this 2 part video and found it very informative and also confirmed what I have been saying!
It’s time for civil war to break out and take our country back
I agree with you totally
The BBC has now switched from reporting deaths FROM the coronavirus to deaths WITH the coronavirus: “Yesterday another 800 deaths were reported cross the country of people WITH the coronavirus”.. if you asked them why this subtle change they’d problem say “what’s the difference?”
I would tell them to shove their fines up their asses! This us america, not nazi germany! Those democrat assholes have no right to deny our freedoms!
What part of if we do not RE-OPEN THE ECONOMY do you not understand the fatality rate does not by any means warrant the stay at home orders and closing of damn near everything. WE CAN NOT SURVIVE going the way we are the Chinese who definitely are the cause ONCE AGAIN need to be held accountable, We have a debt with China too bad we consider it paid in full .
Yes. It’s necessary. All the brains live in New York. The virus is doing a number on the population there. We need to preserve the power. Rest of the country bunch of dummies who make no decisions, no difference, no matter. You can die. We need to live back here in the east.
Our parents didn’t lock down the economy when faced with polio and no vaccine.
I am 89 years old. I have experienced flu’s and diseases like polio as long as I can remember. Seems like it’s something every year.
US Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimates from 3000 to 49,000 US deaths per year between 1976 and 2006.In 1918 the H1N1 flu caused 500,000 US deaths. In 1957, the H2N2 caused 70,000 US deaths. In 1868, the H3N2 caused 34,000 US deaths.
This has nothing to do with flu deaths, but 800,000 babies have died from abortions.
There are studies out now that claim that being cooped up inside is worse than being outside in the sun and fresh air. Are we helping by this “stay at home lock down” or making it worse?
Who knows, you can’t trust anything the media tells you anymore.
God Bless you and God Bless America.
In a word: NO! The lock down and social distancing will not kill the virus. It will only slow the spread of the contagion. But eventually it will become wide spread. And the slow down will likely result in a bigger outbreak in the fall with the start of the flu season. We were told that be now there would be over two million dead in the United States from the virus. It has not happened. We were told that our hospitals and health care would be inundated and overwhelmed like in Italy. It has not happened. (Slowing the spread may have helped in this.) But continuing the shut down is irresponsible. Who are the politicians determined to keep us shut down? And what is their objective? Do they honestly believe that is for our health safety and they are saving us from ourselves? Or do they have more nefarious reasons for wanting to destroy our economy and denying us our Constitutional rights? It is time we stop behaving like troglodytes and get on with living.
Politicians should a re-opening plan for churches!
Politicians must develop a plan to open churches! Why can’t we worship under current guidelines??????

Oh my, “your comment is awaiting moderation”, apparently they have not read the CONSTITUTION.
Someone ought to really look into the deaths that are attributed to COVID-19. I think the overwhelming majority, nearly all of them, are of people that underlying co-morbidities. If so, I think we can reopen the entire country, almost without restriction, as long as the vulnerable population keeps staying at home and practices social distancing and we do all we can to protect them.
