Homeless people are exempt from the bans, so
I reread the article. I quoted the article. I stated myself and my point clearly.
You have multiple times told me that I am wrong, when I am clearly not.
Go fuck yourself, you god damned moron
They are banning people from walking down the street, you dumb fuck. No, I didn’t misread it.
Just stfu
“Police Chief Bill Scott noted that the police department isn’t looking to enforce the rules, but appeared to apply that it is willing to do so, if needed.”
Please enlighten me on my misinterpretation of this sentence and the use of the word “banning.”
Words like “guidelines” and “strongly suggest” have one connotation. Words like “banning” and the suggestion that the police “are willing to [enforce]” have a completely different connotation.

If I’m reading this correctly, they are banning individuals from walking down the street. I am stating that this, whether we want people to not do that or not, is tyrannical. It just is.
EDIT: Yeah, to be clear, I wasn’t responding to the federal guidelines, which are just fine.
We don’t have to have a tyrannical government in order to not be dumb. If I need to go to the store or I want to go for a walk, that is my decision and a government that enforces on me that I cannot decide is tyrannical.
“ IF YOU ARE AN OLDER PERSON, stay home and away from other people.”
Can I just tell everyone I’m an older person?
Take a look at the US. 3000 cases, spread across every single state. Right. There are only 3000 cases, but somehow every single state? I think it is rational to guess that we are aware of 1 in 10 cases.
51 deaths / 3000-30000 = 0.2%-2% mortality
If you want to guess that less than 1 in 20 cases are known about, then this is, like, the flu (0.1% mortality).
Also - “On 26 February, Director of Higher Health Council Franco Locatelli announced that swabbing would only be performed on symptomatic patients, as 95% of the swabs previously tested were negative.”
So, first they stopped testing people without symptoms. Then, they stopped reporting positive tests of people without symptoms.
A conspiracy theorist might think they were trying to make sure they didn’t lose their high score on the death rate.
See, that was so selfish of him to waste a test on himself! -CNN, probably
Let’s think this through with information that we all have about ourselves, the people we know, everyone around us.
If you have a cold or the flu, how many times do you go to the doctor or a hospital to make sure you are counted? Me? Like once or twice in my life. So, let’s say 1-2%. Some others, maybe they go try and get antibiotics if it gets bad enough. Even in the most panicky people, I’m going to guess 25-50%.
I don’t think most people are average between those 2 numbers. I think most people take care of themselves and their family and only go to the doctor if it is bad for days in a row.
So, even with all the media bullshit, I’m guessing that the cases we know about is between 1-10% of the actual cases.
It’s also not the case that we hear about a case instantly. People don’t know they have it for 1-2 weeks.
Put differently, if you hear about a case in your area, then that is not the first. It’s more likely the hundredth or thousandth case.
All this media hysteria is absolute bullshit. The revolution we need is not in our government. We need to overthrow our media.
Fuck you
