Took my daughter to get her allergy shot.

Was greeted by a woman in mask and gloves that took our temps before we could enter.

Surreal. Felt like I was in china.

At the facility I am working at this week, I have been doing that. Since I am the only male, they figured maybe I would be more convincing of people. Well, Monday, the first three people all had a fever. Then, even more absurd, everyone with a fever gets placed in the same room away from the others. So, if one person has strep, one has the flu and another a stomach virus, they are all getting placed into a closed room together. Talk about pure stupidity.

It is just strange behavior. All around.

I went into a Publix last night and they had a kid wiping down carts, difference was he was wiping them down AFTER you pushed it up to the door. I mentioned that maybe he should be getting the carts and wiping them down BEFORE the customer grabs them. He looked at me like I had two heads.

He wipes off your germs after you use it. You want it wiped before you touch it? Bring your own wipes.

Just saw your other post. Still should bring your own wipes. 😁

Publix had a guy specifically to clean carts. When he gave me the cart I said "Thanks man" and put out my hand to shake. He laughed and acted like he was running away.

Costco does this as well. They have two people at entrance checking cards, but they also use a wipe to clean off the cart handle.

Waiting rooms are not healthy places - especially if you are just in for a regular checkup and don't want to leave with something you don't want.

Valid arguments. The other day my wife and I had to get some groceries. Most of the patrons were elderly. I kid you not. We're like WTH? The high risk group didn't seem concerned.

To be clear I think this is going to last well in to Summer, maybe Fall. It took China two and a half to three months to start production again but they welded and screwed shut apartment buildings and quarantined 60 million in cities. They took drastic measures thats way more intense than we are. If we have a med that can work today that would be a game changer.

So the health department shouldn't be able to shut down an unsanitary restaurant? Or close a buisness with a gas leak and require them to fix it?

On your first example, nope. Although perhaps they should be required to post a sign at the door notifying potential customers of the unsanitary conditions.

Your second example isn't even close to being analogous to what's happening currently. A gas leak would obviously be an immediate danger to anybody in the building.

Screw these unconstitutional mandates from little tinpot dictator wannabees. When the politicians stop taking paychecks I'll listen to them telling other people to give up theirs.

Owning a buisness doesn't give you special rights to ignore law enforcement or endanger customers or employees. I'm curious, what part of the constitution to you think this violates?

Even if it were unconstitutional, it's morally repugnant to expect your employees to risk arrest and put thier own health in jeopardy so you can make a buck selling video games. Gamestop is already failing. I how this buries them.

Ignore law enforcement? Law enforcement does not have the right to prevent people from earning a living so yeah, everyone should ignore law enforcement and the politicians who issue these stupid edicts. Nobody is forcing employees to come to work or customers to patronize an establishment so the only people put in "danger" are the ones willing to accept it.

Amendment 1

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Your assertion on the first example is patently absurd. What if the customer is blind our can't read? Posting a notice won't allow everyone to make an informed decision. Even if that was reasonable(it's not) It's s public health issue and that is well within the government's jurisdiction.

On the second, they are perfectly analogous. Both can result on the death of employees or customers as a direct result of staying open in defiance of a mandated closure. The fact that someone who dies of coronavirus happens after more time is irrelevant.

I would agree with you in general, except most of these forced closures are only targeting specific businesses by default.

The classification of essential and non-essential is almost totally arbitrary. A restaurant doing carry-out and a McDonalds are not essential, yet they're usually allowed to stay open.

No it isnt. If the business fails to meet the overall expectations of customers, guess what happens? Money stops coming in, business closes. Isnt freedom great?
