They can't do that since people rely on the cops, firemen and water companies.

Did you even read what I posted?

[progressive hunter]

Are they banning religious services, really?

Religious services are being conducted online.

That's not banned.

Typically these ban's are for gatherings of more than x number of people, and they are temporary in nature.

This was done during other epidemics - 1918 flu and Polio outbreaks.

got a link???

I don't think essential services have ever been closed during an epidemic - people must have a way to get food, medicine, money.

Religious services specifically?

No.

Gatherings of more than a certain number of people for any purpose during a public health emergency?

Hell yes.

What clergy said when influenza closed churches in 1918

During the 1918 influenza pandemic in Birmingham, churches were closed. The Birmingham News offered to print sermons, service outlines, scriptures and announcements sent in by various clergy to help people worship at home.

During an emergency health declaration they can...But only temporarily.

Only health emergency I see is in old folks homes.

Hmmm, it seems to me it happened in more places than nursing holes. Many folks were told to go home and die. The for profit healthcare system failed because they could make a profit from just anyone.

what kind of babble is that...….you closed the for profit health system too. Sent nurse and DRs home

How did I close down the healthcare system?

Was or wasn't it closed.......Saving some ...killing others .....great plan

When is God going to get it right?

Facts have become inconvenient

Go figure. It's up to the individual states and I guess some consider that "essential".

Because, again, people need to buy food, and to be open those stores have to put in place a system of limit the number of people allowed in, maintain social distancing, wear masks etc. Depends on the state. In WV -Walmart has a sign saying how many people can be inside, and staff counting. Next door, in PA - they have that plus wearing a mask inside is mandatory.

We've never had the government telling people to close down and stay at home during a epidemic either.

I allowed EMS and the free food banks to remain open.

Why do you need money? WalMart won't be open unless they want to start handing out free food in the parking lot.

Yes the govt. has told people to wear masks and stay at home and there are instances when travelers have entered into a quarantine zone to be forced into quarantine in US history. This is not a new occurence to humans and the world.

Yes, we actually have - during the 1918 flue epidemic. If only free food banks were allowed to be open and not grocery stores - they would be swamped and emptied in days. They aren't equip to handle the entire public and the entire public doesn't need their charity.

San Francisco had the 1918 flu under control. And then it lifted the restrictions.

A cautionary tale about the dangers of reopening too soon.

If you want martial law in a district because of a "pandemic" then lock it down totally.

"Essential Services Only"

I provided the essentials by leaving EMS, police, fire fighters, and free food banks.

Stay home because nothing else is open except perhaps energy, water, and sewage, providers and they're brown bagging and only on the job if absolutely necessary.

Retail stores are unessential. Ran out of liquor? Want to shop for a new dress? Don't like the can of beans the free food bank gave you?

Well that's too damn bad you're in lock down!

Then I suppose the grocery stores can donate what they have to the food banks to feed the public or have it confiscated by the government to do so.

The campgrounds let people stay for free and the state stopped checking for fishing license so it was gratis....What is yer obsession with stay at home orders to protect people? I managed to do several jobs during the period and shook hands with people, I use no masks ever. Why are you trying to over dramatize this period in time?
