Habeas Corpus is now suspended by this President during peacetime. Many Governors are ordering tyrannical shutdowns of businesses, restaurants/pubs, gyms, etc. Now many states have implemented "Shelter in place" orders (transaltion: "Home Detention in Place").
You'd think this was 1940 Battle of Britain where the citizens were at an imminent risk of dying by the daily Nazi bombings. Where's the danger here? A virus that has a mortality rate of about 1.2%? Lol. So, businesses, restaurants, gyms, etc. are ordered by the government to shutdown because of a 1% threat to their safety? Heck, I bet you have a much higher percentage of getting hit driving to work everyday.
The virus is the psychological tool used here - it has most everyone scared & paranoid to death (really shocking to see this by some many "intelligent" Americans). I see it on everyone's face. Look at the egregious hoarding of supplies - everyone is willing to give up their freedom and be confined in their homes because of the "virus." I even think attorneys are scared of the virus as to why any lawsuits haven't been filed against state governments challenging the constitutionality of the ordered shutdowns.
People are sheep. People are mind-controlled. People are consumed in fear because of a "virus." People are willing to submit to a unprecedented draconian lockdown during peacetime. And, btw, do you think the callout for the National Guard is just for humanitarian reasons?

Pretext for what?
"think you, like many others, haven't studied U.S. history - they certainly don't teach it the schools anymore. 70,000 Americans died in the Revolutionary War defeating Britian for our Independence . We have a "Bill of Rights" and the guarantee of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
This is definitely taught in schools. Everything you say lacks grounding in reality.
"Now many states have implemented "Shelter in place" orders (transaltion: "Home Detention in Place")."
That's literally not what shelter in place means and not how it is being enforced in any state. You sound like a scared sheep believing every word you read on the internet.
"Where's the danger here? A virus that has a mortality rate of about 1.2%? Lol"
Again this is you sounding like a sheep. You're spinning this 1.2% number in a way that every other tin foil hat wearer does with out understanding the full context. What matters most is that hospitals are gradually running out of supplies and capacity given the hospitalization rate and duration. This is already happening in NYC and Seattle, the first places to have the virus in the US. Outside of those cities it may seem like its being exaggerated but the virus simply hasn't had time to spread across the country yet.
"The virus is the psychological tool used here."
Tool for what exactly? Some "deep state" take over that you and other sheep read on the internet and were told to believe by some podcast shock jockey trying to get you to buy his products like sheep?
You're obfuscating and fearmongering like so many of the scared rabbits out there. I'm not spinning the 1.2% number. I just heard the VP on a live FOX interview actually quote it. The medical experts have been quoting all the time. Sure, it's a little higher than the seasonal flu, but c'mon man, shutting down the world's greatest economy and putting millions out of work for a "virus" that has a 1.2% mortality rate? A "virus" that is very serious for the elderly and those with underlying medical conditions? So, you destroy an economy, put millions on the unemployment line and risk a Great Depression all for a "virus" that's primarily hard on the elderly with a 1.2% mortality rate for those infected? Please use some common sense and quit being so paranoid.
A "Shelter in Place" order signed by a governor means it's enforceable by citation or arrest. That also means large gatherings violating the "social distancing" rule that these tyrannical governors inacted in the order. There were two guys in Jersey who were having a wedding parties at their homes in violation of the order when neighbors snitched on them - they were arrested by the authorities. Plain ridiculous - police state mentality!
https://www.google.com/amp/s/forward.com/fast-forward/442151/lakewood-new-jersey-jewish-wedding-coroanvirus/%3fgampThe psychological ops used here by medical experts and some elected officials is to scare people to death of a "virus." for power & control. Seasonal flu virus scares no one despite the fact this has been a bad flu season with 23,000 deaths and an unprecedented 144 pediatric deaths so far. Coronavirus deaths not even a thousand (I doubt it will even be a third of an average flu season). Coronavirus pediatric deaths: 0! Nobody gets all worked up about a bad flu season. No one talks of shutdowns, lockdowns, "Shelter in Place", social distancing and all that - it's business as usual. But bring in a virus from "China" and call it coronavirus or COVID-19, and convince everyone how horrible it is, and that "end of the world" is coming is fearmongering and a form of mind-control.
