A question about these people losing their shit about the stay at home orders.

Not to diminish the dangers of this pandemic but, what would they do if this
was something much bigger? How about a more deadly bug that kills within hours to a day after infection?
A chemical warfare attack? A large scale bombing raid by an enemy?

Just curious.

about black outs along the coast so as not to help German submarines target ships at night?

I can just see them now: "Liberate Christmas!" (Christmas lights that could be seen from off shore were banned).

'Liberate the highways!" to protest gas rationing.

Republicans have become such coddled, spoiled little snowflakes. What's ironic is they keep trying to convince us all how macho they are, hence the need for body armor and big guns.

The older people in my family -- parents, grandparents -- all lived through WW2
Some fought in it. All my life I've heard stories about the hardships they had to deal with
during that time. These whiners we deal with now wouldn't last 2 months in a large crisis, as we can see.

there will be people that resent it. So I focus on what is in the common good and literally ignore the complainers.

and think they are safe like they weren't during the AIDS crisis of the 80s when many thought it only affected the gay community.
