Absolutely! It's false advertising X100. I'm sick of these religious institutions being given a free pass because of their "holy" status in this country. I hope churches aren't having in-person service in NYC. I'm curious as to how that would go regarding enforcing the quarantine on a church (es).

In emergencies like this across the spectrum they will tell you to shove your legal issues where the sun don't shine and you can sort it all out later.

how many days now have we heard of "it won't happen" things only to have it happen anyways. I'm at the point now where I am expecting the worst and hoping for the best

You mean the VOLUNTARY self quarantine? That was always in the plans if needed.

Biden is not the President by the way and was not being advised. I see this talking point is being repeated ad nauseam by Trump supporters for days now, which only means they heard it on Fox or Hannity. But had Biden been the President he would have followed the best advice and communicated more effectively. At which time Republicans would have cried he is killing the economy. Well that is my opinion and it's just as provable as your opinion as to what Biden would have done.

I have a mistrust of government generally as well. That said, I can only take people at their word, and acknowledge that situations change daily that will lead to original decisions and opinions being modified or changed. I don't view that as too controversial.

Biden can't even complete a sentence. What do you mean he'd communicate more effectively. Sign language?

The progressive point of view across the board was that stopping travel coming in from Wuhan was racist. That's a fact. Has nothing to do with Fox News. And that mindset puts this nation at risk.
