WALSH: If You Want To Stay Home, Stay Home. Let The Rest Of Us Get Back To Our Lives.
By  Matt Walsh DailyWire.com

There is no good reason for the lockdowns to continue. There wasn’t a good reason for them to begin in the first place, but almost everything we have learned in the last two months has made the truth inescapably clear. Over 33 million people have been put out of work. Many businesses have been driven to the brink, or over the edge, of bankruptcy. Our economy teeters near collapse. And all of this, not to prevent deaths or stop the virus, but to merely delay the inevitable moment when we have to figure out how to live in spite of it.

For most of us, the risk of returning to our jobs and our lives is very low. The virus primarily victimizes the old and the infirm, which is why it has had a hugely disproportionate impact on nursing homes. As I wrote yesterday, in many states and countries, nursing homes account for more than half of all COVID-19 fatalities. When you add the elderly who are not in nursing homes, and people with pre-existing conditions, it becomes evident that young and healthy people are very unlikely to die from the disease or be hospitalized because of it. This doesn’t mean we should cavalierly throw aside all precautions and safety measures, but it does mean that there is no good reason, and was never any good reason, for most of us to stay locked in our homes. The threat level for us is quite low, and we should be allowed to take that risk if we wish.

BINGO!!!

You don't quarantine healthy people in a pandemic.  Never in history has this been done that I recall.

It was a political move pure and simple to achieve what we see now.

It was a test that we are failing miserably.

It is also unlawful and unconstitutional.

Are you familiar with the concept of "waving a dead chicken?"

You laugh, so I suspect you get my drift. This grand experiment does nothing more than to prove who the wannabe tyrants are.

We all knew there were wannabe tyrants on the Left...that’s a given...what’s been eyebrow raising is the people on the Right that that are now showing the same predilections.

True.

I did appreciate Rand Paul for calling out Governanny Beshear and saying he was 'drunk with power', God love him.

I disagree with Rand about 50% of the time...but I back him completely on calling out our Governor the way he is right now.
