The way I see it, it should be up to the individual to make their own decision about whether to “shelter in place” or not. We are all adults who can make our own decisions and this virus is going to spread no matter what we do, so why not let people use common sense and if you’re sick stay home, if you have a condition that might make getting the virus more serious stay home and if you are just too scared to get out of the house then stay in the house. Just because some of the population is in a panic doesn’t mean we should shut down the whole country and volunatrily destroy our economy… I know it sounds like a cliche, but I THOUGHT THIS WAS AMERICA?!?

[ Editor’s Note: I could be wrong, but I’ve got to think this is what is known on the Internet as “ trolling”… I mean, this has got to be someone sending in a bunch of nonsense trying to get a rise out of me, right?

I mean, it started out sortof OK, but then you can tell either the texter just decided to go full- on with their shtick or they’re just looking to start trouble. Either way, I’ll take the bait ( a little bit) and remind you that first and foremost, it isn’t the average healthy person they’re looking to protect with all these social distancing and quarantining protocols, it’s the elderly, the immune compromised and those other high- risk folks… and not taking away your “ freedom”]
