I'd assume the community or HOA? I don't believe the road or sidewalk is the couple's own private property but I could be wrong.

Yet this mob didn't burn or loot anything. I wouldn't have invited them in. I also wouldn't have pointed guns at them.

I believe the road and sidewalk belong to the gated community. The protesters may have been trespassing, but they were NOT trespassing on this couple's property. The couple had no right to point their guns at hundreds of people. If you think they were in the right to point their guns at people and would do the same yourself, you should probably enroll yourself into a gun safety class before using your firearms again.

I certainly hope you don't point guns at people that you believe are on your property, when in all actuality they are not.

It may be private property but it is not the couple’s property. You don’t own any guns, do you?

So the gate got breached. That justifies pointing a firearm at people that have not stepped foot on your property?

How many homes on that block were breached? did anyone even step foot on this couple’s property? Any responsible firearm owner understands you only point your weapon at something you intend to shoot. These two wouldn’t be considered very responsible gun owners.

Maybe it is and I understand that they cannot operate with both hands tied behind their back. Personally I don't agree with what Walz has done with the blanket covid restrictions. I guess one could always choose to go somewhere else where they can operate the way they'd like, not like I've never heard "you don't like it, move to Canada".

I’m not in the restaurant business and won’t pretend to be.

See but those restaurants weren’t forced to fully close, there was still room to adapt and offer takeout. And there is a way to transport a good steak. I understand the fine dining is difficult without the dining room but there are also establishments that have thrived.

I know a little bit about small business, though I’m in ND where very little were required to fully close. Where were restaurants asked to fully close for 3 months?

During the 1918 flu pandemic we did more than asking people to stay home when they were sick and to practice good hygiene though. Also you don't need to go back too far to see how other countries have overcome other viruses. It's been said countless times on here that people dying with Covid were already on the ledge and about to die anyways. Couldn't the same be said of the businesses that have not been able to adapt or have failed during these times?

Maybe they weren't intended for the US. I'm willing to guess there are alot of folks in NY that wish we would have had access to more testing early on.

What's the +/- for false negatives/positives? Do you suggest we just stop testing or stop isolating those testing positive?

We took PPE from the overall world supply. Also you say these were intended for third world countries but your link shows they were intended for low and middle income countries, but no country would be denied. By claiming these were intended for third world countries could also be considered fake news. The reality is that they were available and we didn't pursue them. Trump called them garbage and here we are 6 months later with garbage tests.

Closures were up to the states and local governments though. In ND/MN we are practically immune to hurricanes. We are finding out now that we are not immune to Covid.

Yet we had no problem driving up bids for masks and PPE worldwide.

If he tells everyone down there to go business as usual and the hurricanes will magically disappear, yes we can blame him. Maybe he can draw us up a map of where he thinks the hurricanes will go:)

I don’t blame trump for you blatantly ignoring my question last Friday. I guess we could just blame that on systemic ignorance.

The same could be said of those defending him. Here’s an idea, if we were testing less, we’d have less bad testing happen. I wonder why no one has considered this thought process

Ok so we didn’t use them, trump called them bad tests which was proven to be false, and we chose to use our own tests, which have turned out to be bad tests. Got it.

Fair enough. I seem to remember him rejecting the WHO’s test this spring, as we could do it better. 6 months later, are our tests better?

And who is to blame for these faulty tests? We’ve been at this now for 6 months and still aren’t getting it right? I see the hhs is also handing covid counting back to the cdc. What a $hitshow!

Again, I don’t disagree with anything you are saying here. though, I’m curious why you have such a difficult time acknowledging that the mother put her kid in a bad situation.

Again, not disagreeing with you. But you refuse to acknowledge the big picture, still. That’s the point.
