Are these restrictions and stay at home orders realy about health?

[Proud Prepper]

• • For democratic Governors, It's not just about your health....
    
    
    When the State tells you it's safe to go to Home Depot to buy a sponge but dangerous to go and buy a flower, it's not about your health.
    
    When the State shuts down millions of private businesses but doesn’t lay off a single government employee, it's not about your health.
    
    When the State prevents you from buying cucumber seeds because it's dangerous, but allows in person lottery ticket sales, it's not about your health.
    
    When the State tells you it's dangerous to go golf alone, fish alone or be in a motor boat alone, but the Governor can get his stage make up done, and hair done for 5 TV appearances a week, it's not about your health.
    
    When the state puts you IN a jail cell for walking in a park with your child because it’s too dangerous but let’s criminals OUT of jail cells for their health- It’s not about YOUR health!
    
    When the state tells you it’s too dangerous to get treated by a doctor of chiropractic or physical therapy treatments yet deems a liquor store essential- It’s not about your health!
    
    When the State lets you go to the grocery store or hardware store but is demanding mail-in voting, ITS NOT ABOUT YOUR HEALTH.
    
    WAKE UP PEOPLE – If you think this is all about your health you’re mistaken! Please open your eyes! Stop being lead like blind sheep.

I have broken a tooth which is starting to get infected. But can't see a dentist! Maybe a trip to the liquor (ABC) store to get some POWERFUL pain killers.

My dentist brother-in-law can see emergency patients, but not regular visits like checkups.

What a pain in the ### that all proctologist offices are closed....

A scared population is a controllable population. Look how well it worked after 9/11. This time it worked even better. A lot of people have meekly followed the stay at home order to cower in the corner.
Now the "experts" are predicting another "wave" of the China flu. And they are saying that next year could be worse. Hell, we might as well just give up and never reopen our country. There will always be a new strain of the flu. Espicilly since we've had generations of open borders.
The thing that worries me more than the damn flu is that all of Trumps trillions will have to be paid back, with interest.

A scared population is a controllable population.

Like lambs to the slaughter, especially if they are disarmed.

I don't know about US but in the UK its about not spreading the virus as there is no vaccine and no known cure.
I think it was said that America has more infections than anywhere else outside China.
the UK seems to be over the peak but lifting the lockdown could cause a second wave of infections and death.
i'm quite happy to stay home but that's my normal lifestyle as I don't like people so its no different for me, many people seem to have "cabin fever" as they aren't used to staying home.

Gov. Newsom here in California yesterday telling everyone healthy to wear a mask and go volunteer in the community. You can't wear a mask and have your paying job but you can work for free with a mask...a Commies dream

But you're counting the whole US, that will be like us counting Europe as a whole when comparing numbers, US infection and deaths are still lower than Europe and if we remove just 3 states here of it's numbers in the US would be far far lower.

Not counting Alaska: perspective

The US is a MUCH bigger country than any European country.
Per capita, the US infection rate is much lower than a number of countries.

If you take New York City out of the equation, the infection rate in the US is quite low.
