    What you call treason today, the new Americans of 1776 called "freedom". It's a pretty cool concept, even if a bit dated. It will never go out of style, if we remember our roots.

    No. Not some opinion article. You ran your mouth and made a ridiculous statement about the Constitution. Now tell us where it says that???

    Thank you! Some people today are terribly uneducated. This is the whole point. It is the John 3:16 of America, but I'm sure many here don't even know what that is.

    This isn't 1776. Different era.

    Supreme Court is the final authority on the interpretation of The Constitution and they ruled it was unconstitutional for a state to secede.

    You sound like someone who hates all authority and rules of any kind. You sound like you oppose a nation of laws.

    Liberals gave us easy, no fault divorce in the 1960's, but in 2020 the states must stay in an unhappy, and perhaps irreconcilable, union forever. o_O

    You are also ignoring the long-term and permanent morbidity from Covid-19 versus common cold or flu.

    The blood clots in children on the rise too.

    The death toll is far from done.

    So freedom to pursue your livelihood is passé, citizens don't have unalienable rights (except for non-citizen illegal migrants), and it's okay for the government to cancel your job and put your company out of business, but you have to pay your late and overdue bills in a couple of months anyway.

    No I'm not ignoring anything. I'm aware of the new cases in children and I'm aware that deaths won't stop today, or tomorrow, or ten years from now, since viruses can't be "cured". They only become less virulent over many mutations and still primarily kill the very aged and fragile.

    And young people and permanent damage to those with no pre-existing conditions.

    Most permanent damage is done on intubated patients from the ventilator.

    Young with no pre-existing conditions? Obesity?

    Obesity Linked to Severe Coronavirus Disease, Especially for Younger Patients
    Young adults with obesity are more likely to be hospitalized, even if they have no other health problems, studies show.

    Obesity Ups Severe COVID-19 Risk in Young Patients
    www.webmd.com/lung/news/20200415/obesity-ups...
    Apr 15, 2020 · Though people under age 60 are generally considered at low risk for COVID-19, her team found that those who are obese are twice as likely to be hospitalized for the disease.

    Ofcourse preexisting conditions matter and over half the US population have some sort of preexisting conditions but even non-obese, non-smokers are being killed or impaired long-term by this corona virus. How do you ignore that?
