How do you feel about the virus protestors?

I think they are ignorant. I feel their pain, but as you said we can't go from 0 back to 60 or we'll see a spike in cases and in deaths. What we REALLY need is someone to hogtie Trump during the daily briefings so he can't participate.

They are covidiots.

I agree with you. The longer they don`t follow social distancing the longer the lockdowns will take and more people will have the sickness

It saddens me that they are putting themselves and others at risk. Our beaches opened at 8 am today. Which was not a good thing. They didn’t even wait and the beaches were full of people not following guidelines or social distancing over the weekend.

They are ignorant. Let them get themselves infected. Darwin Awards winners

We all want things to go back to normal, but protesting will not get it done. Stay home!

I like Dianne's term of covidiots.

I think they need to stay home and not spread anything around. I'm sorry it's affecting them badly, but a lot of people are suffering, and many are dying. On top of that, the longer they act out, the longer we're all gonna stay in lockdown.

Yeah I know. I do think they are being stupid with the protesting. I rather be healthy then getting sick with this virus, Yes, I would love to be able to see my fiance again and go to the movies with him. And even go to church and play my clarinet. But I also hate getting sick.

I can't believe that some people there think it's all a big scam or not important or something. I can't imagine what will happen if people don't take precautions. The trouble is that those who do take care will be compromised by all the idiots.

The numbers of infected will continue to rise if they won't stay at home.

These people need too go sit there butts down and follow the lockdoiwn procedures I understand peoples frustration and anxiety but you are not making the situation better by protesting you are only making it worst so gets your butts home in your house and sitdiwn until this all boils over like everyone else is doing.

I don't think they should be allowed to break the rules because they are not maintaining social distancing

let's admit it, the media and other politicians are downplaying the virus. They were comparing it regular flu and heart attack. That's why some people think it's really not that serious

Personally, I'm not surprised in the least. The last sentence of your post; 'Nothing is going to change...'. There's something else that is not going to change - some people. No matter what's going on, there are always going to be those who believe that everything is Hakuna Matata. Oh well. Stupid is as stupid does.

The truth is this is a virus and eventually pretty much everyone will be infected. The lockdowns are not about preventing that. The lockdowns are only meant to slow its progress so hospitals don't get overwhelmed. Speaking to that portion of our current problems I totally agree with you. On the other hand, we can not let our entire economy tank. The federal government simply can not make the decisions for everyone as we all have the right to decide for ourselves and our first line of action should be through our local and state governments. Speaking to this portion I totally agree with the protestors. No one is 100% 'right' here. What's the point of being virus free and healthy if I am starving alone in need of things I can't get? Truth - Of those who get the virus - Most will not even know and have no symptoms. Of those with symptoms most will recover quite nicely. Of the rest - a tiny proportion of the population - With severe symptoms most will recover with lingering health issues. Some will die. It's sad but it is a fact of life. So in all honesty I can not fault anyone for how they feel or how they approach this situation. In general I don't like protestors but without them we would still be lost in the 1600s. A very very backwards time.

@snowy22315 I believe those that do protest about the virus do not take it seriously and do not care. I would say they do not know what this virus can do to a person and how they will feel when they have it. I have heard about how someone can feel. I hate those that cause me more grief and ruin it for those that do follow rules and do not want to get sick.

they pose a problem for other

I think they're selfish. Being advised to stay at home doesn't mean you are deprive of your freedom, it's about saving your life and other lives too specially our front liners, they should cooperate.

I think they have a serious problem of ignorant
