    The shut down is specifically to stop the spread of the virus . If people do it , the shut down will only be short term.....if they don't , the longer , and more expensive it becomes.

    Sure it does. Do we stop our society, risk a depression, and give up our liberties when other $#@! happens everyday? No we don't. So why now? How come no one did $#@! about the swine flu? Or sars? That $#@! was supposed to kill everyone too. This is being politically weaponized.

    You're letting a glorified flu/cold that's being used as a weapon by the media and dishonest politicians give up your ideals? Don't you mostly identify as small government/libertarian?

    I think it has more to do with preserving the loyal elderly voting block.
