You need to work on your reading comprehension. He specified "Those that protest these measures..." I'm sure there are plenty of other people who disagree with him that are not included.
You're expecting a lot from a hyper-active 8 year-old. Just sayin'.
IMHO, the 'going back', 'lifting the stay-in-place', 'opening of America' is happening WAY too soon. There is not one state doing this that has met the criteria for even considering it. Make no mistake that for Donald Trump & his worshippers this is all about miserably failing to perform his duties in handling this crisis, and everything to do with his reelection campaign & trying to get the economy bouncing up, which by the way will not happen in event in the next few months. Tens of thousands of people will get sick with COVID-19 and may will die in the name of power & money. This thing is not over by a long shot, there will be another wave (or more), that's just a fact.
I intend to continue to shelter-in-place, limit going out to necessities like groceries & pharmacies, I do support local restaurants by picking up food on occasion. I will do the things that have kept me safe & healthy and not risking the health and/or lives of others by my own irresponsible actions.
Those that protest these measures are either brain-washed fools or caught up in their paranoid delusions about the government, or they are such rabid supporters of Chump & Faux News they can't even think for themselves. God help those who contract the virus & die as a result.
Having the freedoms we have as American citizens does NOT mean we can do whatever the fuck we want, including breaking the law & intimidating people with combat weapons & even killing people. There is such a thing in America as social responsibility & citizenship. This country was built upon a foundation of We the People, no Me-Myself-and-I & fuck everyone else. Make no mistake, I'm just as concerned about protecting myself AND those rabid angry Trump-loving fools from getting & dying from COVID, as whatever their misguided actions & beliefs they are still my fellow citizens, and I do believe we are ALL in this together, even those that don't agree with me.
I started this with In My Humble Opinion. This is how I feel & what I believe. I could care less about anyone's hateful, snide, and or vicious comebacks, nor will I respond to them. I will, however, pray for them, all of us, and our country.
So, anyone who doesn't agree with you is:
a) a brain-washed fool b) has paranoid delusions about the government c) rabid supporter of Trump & Fox News d) can't think for themselves e) rabid angry Trump-loving fool f) maybe all of the above?
What? No room for these (sample) options: educated, honest, reasoned, open-minded, Bernie-supporting, Democrat-voting, differing opinion?
" ... whatever their misguided actions & beliefs they are still my fellow citizens, and I do believe we are ALL in this together, even those that don't agree with me."
How long has it been that you've despised your "fellow citizens" with this much hatred and contempt? Such a narrow mind you've just demonstrated.
Perhaps the one truly misguided is ... you.

Since the outset of the crisis, elements of the right have sought to bolster the presidentâs political standing and justify reopening the economy by questioning the death toll. Climate-change skeptics have employed techniques perfected in the fight over global warming to raise doubts about the deadliness of the virus. Others, including Mr. Trumpâs media allies as well as some in the anti-vaccine movement, have repurposed fringe theories about âdeep stateâ bureaucrats undermining the president to argue that the official numbers should not be trusted.
They have a found a receptive audience, and a booster of their ideas, in Mr. Trump himself. For the president, the death toll has become a pivotal political indicator, as important to his re-election prospects as his approval ratings and his standing against former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. in swing-state polls.

You aren't alone.
Here's a summary I would have written (if I was a good writer):
A lot to take in here but the gist is basically don't go to indoor restaurants, 6 ft apart or not.
It seems many people are breathing some relief, and Iâm not sure why. An epidemic curve has a relatively predictable upslope and once the peak is reached, the back slope is also predictable. Assuming we have just crested in deaths at 70k, that would mean that if we stay locked down, we lose another 70,000 people over the next 6 weeks as we come off that peak. That's what's going to happen with a lockdown.
Ok folks, radio silence almost over. As soon as I get all quotes back from partner labs, the first press release goes out. Then media blitz and Q&A Apex podcast with Shahrad, Jack, Sindy, Gangemi, Sawsan, tentatively Wed 11AM PST. Then weekly press releases in May - buckle up.

I have a friend of mine in Columbia SC area that worked at a butcher shop that catered to Africans and Muslims so they had to have Halal practices. He would have to wrestle and slit the goats throats when the customers arrived for pickup because they have to witness the killing before they can eat their meat to insure the proper spilling of blood.
I have to wonder how many halal customers actually want/need to witness the killing to their satisfy their practice of religion. There's a halal butcher shop in my urban neighborhood and ain't nobody slitting animals' throats on the premises. The city would have a fit.
We have halal abattoirs here with, I believe a real Imam to do the inspections, which freaks out a lot of bogans. I don't really see it as any different from kosher butchers.

Cuts down on non-Halal orders for a while... "look mommy..."
There are a lot of "legacy" practices that were logical/intelligent in the past (pre-refrigeration) that no longer make a lot of sense.
I'm sure there are people in China without refrigeration, but I doubt they are buying up fresh meat. Since I can literally sit in the US and place an order for groceries to be delivered in China (in English), maybe the time has come for the markets to go away?
If you're worried about cleaning...order some Clorox, "Imported" from the US!
"If you're worried about cleaning...order some Clorox, "Imported" from the US!"
Sure, for cleaning...or injecting it into yourself for that Trump-fresh feeling!

Well, like the Kosher certification, they need to just authorize someone to oversee the Halal. I think it's already allowed, but there's always a faction that wants organic...

Yeah, I can't imagine most Health Departments can allow that, religious exemption or not. I would think a group that devout would keep a private facility. Hunters typically dress out their kills at home, for example. I respect the ritual, my understanding is it's intended to respect the animal and its sacrifice. I just don't think a health inspector could look the other way. c.
