Don't fear death. Your fear of death and the overriding concern for the safety of your loved ones isn't worth the price we are currently paying. I don't mean financial cost, I'm talking about cost of freedoms and civil liberties. Your fear of death and your concern for your loved ones is how the Patriot Act got passed.

Every one is going to die. The question is, how do you want to live?

I think of it as a war. As a battle

And the best weapon is to not contract or spread this virus

If it was a visible enemy with guns would you fight or let them take over?

If the virus was illegal aliens, would you build the wall (even though it limits your freedom to visit all of Texas) or you'd let everybody come in?

The war, in my mind, has shifted to battling opportunistic authoritarian actions by our government. The real question is; how much freedom, exactly, are you willing to sacrifice for the security that's being promised?

Also, the constitution specifically gives the federal government almost unlimited power over the ports of entry to this country. If you are speaking about the checkpoints 50-100 miles inland that ICE used to do (is doing?), then no, I'm not for it and I have never been for it. Ports of entry, yes, a 100 mile zone around the nation's borders? No.

The yearly flu killed more people. Proportion must be considered. Should we change to shutting down the country every year for the flu season?

The best weapon is to take the hit and build herd immunity

When we come out of hiding it just restarts
