For those of you who have questioned why I've called this a cultural Pearl Harbor, and claimed I'm overstating how every potential antidote to this pandemic has been the stuff of Leftist nocturnal emissions, I present for you a thread on the various "solutions" being prescribed:
Government alone gets to determine what private businesses are essential or non-essential, and under penalty of criminal arrest if you dare disagree.
This is the new picking winners and losers on a Lance Armstrong steroid cocktail.

The churches mostly had to close but the Planned Parenthoods mostly got to stay open.
We're not driving our cars, because there's nowhere to go. We're not flying in planes, because we're quarantined. Thus, our carbon footprints are approaching Green New Deal proportions.
Turn in your neighbors, use cell phone records to track your movements, and contact-tracing of the masses in order to monitor and restrict your freedom of movement -- all of which empower government and diminish our individual liberty.
Freedom of speech via protest is deemed non-essential. "Your rights have been suspended" as the cops in Mississippi said, because of a virus. Which means at any point based on questionable data or no data at all, government can just turn the Constitution off.
Government determines your children's schooling, or lack thereof. Whether you can even leave your home, and then where you can go when you do.
Jurisdictions created to provide checks and balances that protect freedoms erased. Like states attempting to take control of national parks/interstate travel. Federalism is supposed to work both ways, not for "states' rights" but individual rights. Governments don't have rights.
Unemployment checks that are more than you'd make working. Proto-versions of universal basic income called "stimulus checks."
Taking individual responsibility for your health with more sun, Vitamin C & D, more activity, etc. is either deemed kooky or deincentivized altogether, in place of just hunker down and wait for the glorious vaccine that may never come to descend from on high.
The sports world, one of the last bastions of masculine-driven meritocracy Leftists haven't already destroyed, are cancelled or postponed.
That the whole country has to be treated like New York, and really New York City, and a few other big cities crushed by this virus gives you but a preview of what life without the Electoral College looks like.
The State is the Supreme Being, determining whether churches can be open. Whether your private business can be open. Whether your private school can be open. Whether your home and private property can be open. God-given rights are null and void.
Scores of dirtbag prisoners are set free, while the law-abiding are detained inside their homes.
We can add to this thread from yesterday mail-in voting recommended by CDC and a red meat shortage. Two more boxes checked in the Leftist fantasy lexicon.
