Seeing all the family and friends we haven’t been seeing. Same. I'd be a LOT less worried about visiting the 60-70 year olds in my church, who I regularly used to have dinner with, if there was widespread testing.

Sounds like this is separate from Maryland's request though. https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/13/politics/south-korea-coronavirus-tests/index.html Looks like its separate. The lab giving MD tests is LabGenomics. That article mentions SolGent, SD Biosensor and OSang Healthcare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did wonders for his cause! We still have the pictures of him getting maced and attacked by police dogs. I was 4 when he died (probable mafia hit).. everyone tells me I am exactly like him.

Historically, gov has been allowed by the courts to use broad powers to curtail freedoms during emergencies. Personally, I wouldn’t be putting first responders in harms way by engaging with these people. The revolt by the thirteen colonies could have been considered an emergency by the British.. and it wouldnt have made any difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I agree. I don't really "support" what they're standing for (and it sure looks to be a lot more than just a simple dislike of being forced to stay inside! Guns and racist signs...really?). And in a normal circumstance I wouldn't much care about them protesting as such even if I don't like what they stand for. If a virus or other significant health issue weren't involved, I'd just roll my eyes at them and shake my head. Because they wouldn't be harming anyone else just by being there spouting off whatever their message is. That's really the significant difference here...they could potentially harm anyone else around them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
