Louisiana issues statewide stay-at-home order to combat coronavirus spread

Am I the only one thAt thinks they should just let this virus run it’s course. It’s a matter of Mother Nature making corrections to an overpopulated world. Maybe there needs to be a good culling.

Dude give it up with the EGGSPURT thing already.

“Jawohl mein fuhrer”.

Why, Strike a nerve?

In your "honor" EGGSPURT will now be the German EXPERTEN!

"Compassionate" Posts like the one above spawned the expression!

Your concern for your fellow man is quite Hitlerain.

Perhaps all at risk persons should be singled out and put into "Isolation Camps"?

Being well past the at risk age it's nice to know you would like me, my family, friends, other members of the group, to as you put it "Be Culled"

Something culled, especially something picked out and put aside as inferior.

I don't believe I am inferior.
Funny how playing "Devil's Advocate " can spark a firestorm but this kind of comment....................???????????????

No, you aren't and if the economy isn't turned back on soon the lives that people think they are saving are going to have trouble staying healthy when no one can afford healthcare in a recession.

So both of you should volunteer yourselves and your family members right now to get infected. Go right on down to your local infected nursing home and expose yourselves and your family to the virus. Make sure you take your kids and your grandpas and grandmas with you.

I am going to remain civil though your comment warrants otherwise. That sort of comment is uncalled for and has no place in these forums.

If it is all the same, I exposed myself to enough chemical and biological weapons for my country.

I stand by that comment and unlike the idiot internet warriors, I have no problem telling anyone what I said in person. The idea that we should let this virus run its course because it is Mother Nature is disgusting and that is what you ought to be upset about but you thought it was just fine. That's some real care about your fellow Americans there - let them die, heck, they are old or infirm, etc., so who cares about them. Don't bring in your military service to somehow make me or someone else feel like it is wrong to say your idea is disgusting because you are in the military - so was my Daddy and step-dad and a ton of other people in my family and it still didn't make them right all the time and the same is true here. We ought to have enough respect for our neighbors to respect their right to life.

Good gracious in WWII we were asked to make serious sacrifices. All we are asked here is to stay at home for 6-8 weeks and we can't even do that. Complaining because we have to stay home. The whining of Americans these days is crazy. Wasting time watching stupid Netflix and letting kids play on stupid social media instead of productively learning and using the time wisely - I never wonder why Louisiana and Mississippi are nearly always last in education.

I thought his comment about "culling" was pretty disgusting. On the other hand, though, you seem to be on the other extreme that we should just stop the world, in order to "save" it.

You have a lot to read about when it comes to economics, if you don't understand the far reaching effects that can have on society. Also, you lack perspective of all of the far greater dangers we face on a daily basis, from other viruses, and just every day activities, like getting in your car and driving down the highway... without shutting down the world.

This sort of thing sets a dangerous precedent for how little it might take for the states to shut things down again, in the future. If you call that "whining", I think your definition of that word needs some work.

I saw this on the last page of the thread before I knew the details of who you were responding to so I’m not saying this because we kind of see eye to eye on the subject. Thank you for your service.
The guy has like 20 posts. Doubt he will be around long.

Well, since I'm over 60 I just can't agree with you. I'd like to live. Thank you very much! You might feel differently if you were in my shoes. There is this thing called empathy....you should try it sometime.

Rugby, who said they do not want you to live? Allowing high-risk people to remain isolated while those that can and want to work do so is not wishing harm to anyone.

A shut down and restart of an economy has never been attempted. Its like a body and longer circulation is stopped, the more damage is done.

You are concerned with living and health.... When unemployment hits 20% that will be 60 Million people without healthcare. When the tax base dries up that will kill Medicare/Medicaid/Social Security... How will your healthcare be then?

I want you to live, and i want you to have healthcare in August lol.

BTW, my loving mother is 71 so please do not think my thoughts were formed in a vacuum.
