[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 5116991, member: 14176"] You hit on it early in your post, and if you will indulge me with an analogy, I think I can illustrate my position on this subject. I am a decent "backyard mechanic" and can perform many repairs and preventative maintenance measures on my vehicles, without the aid of a "certified mechanic". But know for a fact, that when there is something I can't diagnose, a recall, or something I don't have the tools and knowledge to deal with, I absolutely yield to those who do have the tools and knowledge to make the repair. While I don't believe this virus is catastrophic to any one specific group or individual of our population, I do believe we had enough lead time to know that if measures weren't taken, many would have ultimately been denied medical treatment that could save their lives while they were left to die. Do you want to be the one to design the protocol to make these "God-like" decisions, or prefer to conveniently fall back to political arguments of constitutionality, ultimately saying "my life, liberty and pursuit of happiness" is more important than my neighbor? I prefer to say I made the minimal sacrifices I could and did everything I could to help my neighbor and myself. [/QUOTE]
