It's for your safety

Precedent shattered, we are now Cardassia.

BONUS: Cops can now shoot dogs just because they move. #waistband

Not letting a crisis go to waste. Seems to explain their massively out sized death rate.

Why re-start business when government can just do this all over again? No point if they can kill your business for nothing.

The charitable think these are undiagnosed COVID. The realistic realize it's actually lockdown related deaths. "If it saves just one life". ha ha ha

Asymptomatic transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is the Achilles’ heel of Covid-19 pandemic control through the public health strategies we have currently deployed.

In bureaucrat-ese, that's them saying "we are completely full of shit failures".

Remember, politicians & bureaucrats do the exact opposite of any good idea they might have.

Good explanation, they are "high on their own supply", after all. Power Trips are a hell of a drug.

Proving he's a lot more savvy than Bernie ever was. It's lies that win elections, folks.

HAHAHAHA

No patients actually seen, few doctors, and what were present all ophthalmologists. Makes no sense whatsoever.

I spent weeks and weeks looking at epidemiological literature, but nowhere did I find any evidence of such a measure. Never in history has an epidemic been fought in this way. Then, a corner of the veil was indirectly lifted by correspondence revealed by Kaiser Health News: this measure had been planned by the Bush administration in 2005-07.

Thierry figured it out! These "Red Dawn" emails are explosive. It's yet another Bush administration monster out of the dungeon.

Just the fact that this nonsense authoritarian reaction has happened in the first place is reason enough.

Let us back into the JCPOA??? PLZ??? WE JUST WANNA SANCTION YOU!!!!

It was just the pin in the bubble.

There's your sign. Massive waste as we all know much more productive mills are sitting idle.

As expected after a power grab, just like 9/11.

Trying not to experience collapse, American style. Trying to outdo us in central economic planning won't work in the long run -- the USSA is #1 yanno.

Good to shame these sniveling worms.

Meanwhile they discount the numbers from the Swedes. The reality is that there's not a damned thing you can do other than delay spread IFF you quarantine the sickly quickly enough...but this already had spread by the time every country including Vietnam acted, so you can expect their actual "curve" to be identical to everywhere else in the tropics.

And it turns out it's not particularly deadly in the tropics, as India bears out. Mind you, it's not particularly deadly anywhere, just less so in warmer climes.

FUN

Making our pols look like the chimps they are.

Like everything else coming out of Brussels. Meanwhile, Trump is rolling back what little privacy protections with ISPs there were.

For being a general pain in their ass rather than anything of substance.

Sudanese proxies trying to prop him up against Turkish proxies now.
