    How would this change if people weren't sheltering place? People on average spend at least 10 hours of their time in their homes already even before the lockdowns started. Are you advocating people don't live indoors?

    Then the majority of these same people go to work INDOORS and spend 8-12 hours in close proximity to other employees..... and the plumbing a ventilation issues would be the same in high rises where you work.

    You are far less likely to get infected at home. This is a fact and it's common sense. How you can like this much common sense is truly baffling.

    You are far more likely to get infected at home because you are more closely bunched with infected people with poor ventilation to the outdoors.

    Not to mention the work done on how long the virus lasts indoors as opposed to outdoors and in general the benefit of vitamin D.

    NYC was still bad during lockdoen because of this fact or else the cases would have fell off a cliff. They didn't.

    You can respond with your typical rejection of freedom.

    But yes I believe private businesses have the right to do ****ty things, even if I dont believe they should.

    Lockdowns didn't fall off a cliff because you can't 100% shut yourself or an entire city down. How many working people in NYC actually were sheltering at home? Many businesses weren't forced to close. Many restaurants were still open for takeout. Grocery stores and hardware stores were still open. Gas stations and drug stores were still open. And of course you have dumb people with your same mentality that simply didn't take it seriously and continued to hang out with friends and neighbors.

    I don't know why it's so hard for to understand that the more avenues for social interaction you have, the more likely you are to contract the virus.

    Civil rights aren't a rejection of freedom. Shame on you.

    You're comparing when we were fully open to when we were in lockdown..those two periods did not produce drastically different results in peak infection.

    Its strange how people are so willing to impose thought policing on people.

    If someone wanted to not serve me because of my MAGA hat then so be it.

    And they have the right to do so. Political affiliation is not a protected class. Though it may not be a good business strategy.

    I know exactly what my rights are. You apparently don't, and you have zero clue how our government works.

    Its the same concept.

    We either want to legislate thought as a nation or we don't.

    Georgia has tested 62,415 people the last 3 days with 1400 positives. Thats a 2.24% positive rate.

    Yeah. Human sacrifice.

    Heck of a sample there.

    In the last 3 days I haven't had explosive diarrhea, time to go eat a whole pizza hut stuffed crust pizza because I'm immune.
