    That would be the person with kids who she needs to feed that you are talking about ??? I’ve read some asinine things on this forum but that is in a class by itself.

    One question I have is what is closed? Food stores are open, hardware stores, most businesses that don't require you to be close to anyone

    The person who picks up the virus in that salon then goes out on the street and gives it to somebody just walking by. You have to get the virus from somebody and the idea is to stop the spread.

    If we had done this earlier, before it got as bad as it is now, then we might have never had to do this long and strong a lockdown as we probably will. South Korea, as a good example, has never had anything restricted as much as we have and has had far fewer deaths because they acted early and did what they should have instead of ranting at China and restricting travel AFTER the disease had been here for months. SK tested extensively, made sure the hospitals had beds and ventilators and all the personnel had PPE. That way they knew who needed what when and could give it to them.

    SK now has 50 millions total population, 255 deaths and 2 new cases yesterday

    And you may report me for being anti-Trump but Trump COULD have done what SK did. It would have been a lot easier than what he did do eventually and he STILL has hasn't done what he should have really.

    That's the funny part, they really think they're going to lower the number of infections.
    They actually think they're beating something

    You claim to be a healthcare worker and you don't understand contact tracing?

    Interesting coming from you. I had to prove you wrong more than once just in this thread.

    That would be a person who is eligible for very generous unemployment benefits, has gotten $1200 for herself and $500 per kid...and probably got a low interest loan to cover business expenses

    But chose to endanger people anyway

    I've already explained why she has likely not received any unemployment as of yet and you are not responding to me, because you know you're wrong, yet you want to continue to spew your nonsense.

    It's community spread. Contact tracing might make you feel good and all, but you cannot demonstrate where contraction took place.
    I'd make you look like an idiot in court trying to prove you could determine it.

    And I've shown that she is eligible for all of that.

    If you have an issue with anyone it's the Texas Republican lawmakers who screwed up unemployment IF she hasn't gotten it yet.

    But then you don't know that to be the case.

    All we KNOW...is that she is eligible for VERY generous benefits and loans as well.

    The fact that is it "community spread" has no bearing on contact tracing...

    NONE

    You can't possibly be a healthcare worker

    You can tell someone ALL day they are eligible, but if they still can't access those benefits, what good is it. Are you really not understanding this? Most states have lagged considerably on being to able to process self empoyed benfits, including NY which you claimed had this working for months, looks like they just got it up and running. So the self employed in most states have received no unemployment yet.

    I've explained this to you multiple times and you still don't get it. Do you need it written in crayon?

    Producing an income through our own businesses is not associated with reality? Yep, you're a democrat.

    Trump is the decider, he decided, if you don't agree with Trump and think the States should have ignored his guidelines, that is fine

    My state of AR did not issue at a stay at home order. It was up to the governors.

    The virus hasn't made them make that choice, your Govt has.

    If you had adequate emergency welfare measures in place, she would not have had to do that.

    What was the mantra in 2008 and 2009, save, have at least 5 month of income saved. Apparently she did not. I would like to see a picture of her vehicle she is paying for. My guess at least 50k vehicle, SUV or Pick-Up. That's probably what she is working for, besides the kids.

    For about the 150th time, most self employed have still not been able to access unemployement in most states. There are serious delays which means no money yet.

    Trace all the contacts you want.
    You caught it from a stranger in the piggly wiggly.
    Tell the jury how you contact traced an asymptomatic carrier.
    I'll make sure they actually laugh out loud when you say it

    What she drives or what she makes is really no business of yours. She isn't asking for anything but to work at her business.
