Banning gatherings of 250 or larger is a violation of the first amendment right to peacefully assemble. Jay "The Snake" Inslee can advise us, but we are not his subjects to command.

Nearly everybody will heed the advice because good ideas don't require force.

Note that to violently enforce these bans he requires exposing even more people to the large group. It can't be enforced without being self-defeating of the quarantine itself.

    True NannyState stuff. Government knows better than us. F the economy. F small business. This wouldn't happen 10 years ago. FYFMFE. This is such fucking bullshit.

    Anyone remember H1N1 ( Swine Flu )

    "As of mid-March 2010, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated that about 59 million Americans contracted the H1N1 virus, 265,000 were hospitalized as a result, and 12,000 died."

    Staggering numbers comparatively. We aren't even anywhere in this ballpark and signs don't point to us getting there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_flu_pandemic_in_the_United_States

    I have to think all the precautions currently happening is to keep this virus from even approaching the H1N1 numbers. Could be wrong.

    Some signs actually do point to us getting there:

    The attending physician of the U.S. Congress & Supreme Court, Dr. Brian Monahan, briefed Senate Staff yesterday in a closed-door meeting that he expects anywhere from 70 up to 150 million people in the U.S. to contract coronavirus

    This virus has a case mortality rate significantly higher than the swine flu did so if it did reach those sort of numbers the fatalities would be exponentially higher than we saw from H1N1.

    Is the rash of closures around the world and here an appropriate response? Medical professionals seem to believe so...

    Obama declared it an emergency as soon as H1N1 emerged and before we even had 50 US cases. No one’s blaming Daddy for the existence of the Corona virus. His response is another matter.

    That is many orders of magnitude larger than any guesstimations I've run across.
