And you oppose it anyway because Trump said...That is just your definition of the nature of these orders. I agree partially because facts say the measures are obsolete but they were justified initially.Check, which laws enable them to issue Executive Orders.Yes, they have. They do have laws.My government has no legitimate authority to tell me I can't work or go to the movies, period.My responsibility to stay at home so your grandma can avoid the risk of getting COVID-19 is zero.It is not about morality but responsibility.Don´t confuse freedom with idiocy.If you're afraid of getting sick, stay home. But you can't tell me what to do.
Life is a risk. Freedom means you get to choose.
Don't confuse ignorant cowardice with morality, hon.
Except they don't actually have any laws that allow them to negate people's civil rights, and if they tried to pass one, it would be illegitimate for conflicting with the highest law in the country.
Please notice that NONE of these lockdowns and crazed, fascistic orders popping up have actually been LAWS at all. They've been executive orders by governors. Last time I checked, there's not a single state in the US where the governor makes the laws.
NONE of them enable them to issue executive orders violating people's civil rights.
And "initially" has not a damned thing to do with NOW.

Gatherings Should Be Limited to 10 People, Trump Says (Published 2020)
President Trump recommended strict new guidelines, but they fell short of what experts wanted. France and the San Francisco Bay Area are ordering residents to stay home as much as possible.www.nytimes.com
You have no idea what I do or don't oppose, because you haven't ASKED me, or listened to anything I've said. You've been too busy TELLING me what you "know" I think to care about what I actually think. You've decided this argument is a binary, either you are "virtuous and caring" and want everyone in the country totally locked down until the world is 100% safe, or you are "eeeeevil" and want no lockdowns and no social distancing and everyone acting like the coronavirus doesn't exist because you desperately want millions to die. That's it, there's no other option even being considered or talked about as far as you're concerned.
