I understand much better than you do.
I would sure as shit hope so.
I also understand the opposite viewpoint. I understand the frustration of some people.
Believe it or not, I do, too. My entire D&D group is out of work. I feel like an asshole for not having the same problems they do. And I'm not against them going back to work but can we please dear God do it safely? Everyone wears a mask, and we could safely reopen pretty much everything tomorrow. Wouldn't that be awesome.

That being so I don’t understand why you thought the patrons of wal-mart (I’d rather lick the hospital floor then go again) were so obtuse.

Maybe because these may not be quite the same critters. Maybe they don't want to wear a mask, but they don't mind social distance. Or maybe they're ok with certain mitigation strategies for older or high risk people, but not themselves. Or maybe they're just tired and ready to take their chances.

When they take their chances, they put everyone near them at risk, too. That's the entire point of this. If they can't be trusted to do anything to contribute to public health, because "freedoms," then yes, we need government orders.

If you look at the pictures of the protests, there's absolutely no social distancing going on at all.

And you accuse me of Stalinism...
Yes because using a mask is absolutely Stalinism. I don't know if I should continue listening to you anymore.
Please love yourself.

Oh, I'm not near smart enough to listen to. Just another dumb redneck...I bow to your superior intellect.

It's not about that. We were talking about a mob of people in the street, yelling very close to one another with no masks on. You yourself do lab testing, and your position seems to be that they're right, and the people following public health guidelines are Stalinists. Yeah well fuck that. If that's your opinion then keep it the hell away from me, it doesn't do anyone any good.
Please love yourself.

This virus is not going away. I have very serious doubts about the development of a vaccine.
This is not a communist regime nor is it a dictatorship. It is a republic, a form of representative democracy.
As such, you certainly will have control over your individual actions. Other people will have control over theirs. At some point, the public, rightly or wrongly, will make their own decisions on public health and will do so on a cost/benefit calculation.
These protesters are the extreme end of the curve. For now.
-
They may be the extreme end of the curve, but if they're getting together in crowds, without any masks, and inviting sick people to come along, they're putting everybody in unnecessary danger.
This is the equivalent of yelling fire in a crowded cinema. In fact, this is the equivalent of igniting a box of matches in a crowded cinema and throwing it onto the balcony.
And this republic locked up Typhoid Mary for decades.

I saw a picture of a protester with a sign showing a mask with a red circle around it and a line through it. The sign said something like 'my body my choice'.
He probably viewed himself as the hero standing up to the Man. I viewed him as the schmuck during the blitz, keeping his lights on at night, saying 'my light, my choice'.

...and the democratically elected government of wartime Britain would have locked that bastard up toot-sweet.
-
Fascists, the lot of you!
-
I don't think we understand the scope of the stupid idiots behavior.
Do they really put everyone in measurably more danger?
It is a very small number of people and based on their behavior they probably already all have the virus.
The incremental danger has to be very, very small.
And a good number of them will die and eliminate that part of the threat.

But does he not have a point? It's not like nobody dies in an abortion...Which is where the line comes from, the Pro-choice crowd...

So, here's his presumed argument:
"I believe abortion to be murder, but people are legally allowed to kill the unborn. Therefore, I should be allowed to go out and kill a lot of different people."
I think the Latin term for this type of argument is Shitus Extremis.
