This pandemic has us in a pickle. Americans have been listening to the president and the guidelines put forth by the Corona Taskforce. So we are all trying to help in flattening the curve in order to slow the spread of the virus. But the lockdown and social distancing while great for fighting a virus, are tough, not only on the paycheck but our economy as a whole. Millions of Americans are out of work as their jobs are not possible during this lockdown or closed as they were not deemed essential enough to stay open. A.G. Barr commented about the conundrum we Americans are facing and feels if the lockdown continues America may not survive.
“Barr appeared on conservative host Hugh Hewitt’s radio show on Tuesday. The Justice Department head said that while strict government action may have been justified to slow the coronavirus, the overbearing regulations are risking doing more harm than good.
“These are unprecedented burdens on civil liberties right now. You know, the idea that you have to stay in your house is disturbingly close to house arrest,” Barr said. “I’m not saying it wasn’t justified. I’m not saying in some places it might still be justified. But it’s very onerous, as is shutting down your livelihood.”
Barr went on to compare the coronavirus-induced shutdowns to chemotherapy treatments for a cancer patient.
“Your first thing is to drive [the cancer] back to a more manageable state, and that’s what we’re doing and have done,” the attorney general said. “The question is, you can’t just keep on feeding the patient chemotherapy and say ‘well, we’re killing the cancer,’ because we’re getting to the point where we’re killing the patient.”
I understand his concern as America needs to get back to work and get back to normal. But at what cost? How many Americans are going to die or become severely ill due to ending this lockdown prematurely? What really concerns me is that Dr. Fauci is claiming that the end of the month may be too soon. So we may experience a new spike and more outbreaks. Currently, we are showing about a 5% mortality rate according to the CDC. Maybe businesses should continue to check for it as they do at some stores by testing for fevers before people enter. The best of both worlds scenario at least until we know this thing is beaten.
AG BARR is RIGHT! We can NOT sustain having the economy spirilling down until we can no longer defend ourselves, eat, buy meds, etc. Everyday that passes Im more convinced of my initial suspicions; it was done by design by the Chinese together with soros, obama, clintons,US MSM , even if the entire world suffered, as long as they take Trump down. Consider: presidential elections , rallys showing overwhelming support for POTUS, nothing else took him down being all lies, a ROARING economy that the Chinese Communist Party will never accept the US being in front of them. People would consider this Conspiracy theory, but I don’t aymore.!!!! If it means firing Fauci , then do it! His stance as days go by is more passive, left leaning, anti opening the country, when we see Sweden with no major problems.
It is quite evident that political motivation drives the economic depression that is entirely blamed on the virus itself. Where was the hysteria for the SARS, Swine Flu, etc?
I’ve never been a fan of Barr even when he ran for office as a Libertarian. President Trump has made some terrible choices that have hampered his vision of “Making America Great Again” by not doing a clean sweep of ALL political holdovers to his administration. I am also immensely displeased with his signing the budget bill that raised the deficit by another 2 Trillion (unsustainable) dollars.
Don’t worry. We will just tell China $20T debt is now paid in full. It’s still short of the damage they’ve done but it’s a start.
Just a few thoughts on a subject that will be up-coming in Americas Courtrooms.
With the Constitutional Rights of the Citizens being AGGRESSIVELY VIOLATED UNDER PENALTY IMPRISONMENT OR FINES and the constant threats of arrest.
I present the following:
Amendment VI
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.
I VOLUNTEER TO SERVE ON AS MANY JURIES AS IS POSSIBLE!
Between now and then, I suggest educating oneself on the POWER of the JUROR!

Dr. Faucci may have planned this attack!
