I hope that someone is suing on behalf of us citizens of Virginia. We’re “locked down” until June 10!

Those numbskull politicos have no idea what they are doing. It is not possible to predict accurately when a lock-down can end. It could end in a week, when mortality drops, or recoveries jump up, or research shows that lock-downs don’t work. AG Barr says he has alerted his in-State prosecutors to act if rights are breached. And if lock-downs are not medically justified, then rights are being breached.

Did anyone, besides myself, notice the Fat Willy of the DOJ didn’t make ANY moves, prior to Pesach and Resurrection Day? … But, now that Ram-a-Dong is here …. better not lock down a musk.

The holiest of observations from two major religions. Pesach (some may argue High Holy days are more important) and Resurrection Day. Not one single peep out of Fat Willy’s DOJ.
Ram-a-Dong and stern warnings about overstepping authority and violations of the constitution.

Not to worry. When such establishments as restaurants open, but at limited capacity, you’ll still have to stand in line the same as you did at Walmart in the midst of the phony toilet paper shortage.

Ever hear of civil disobedience? You can not be forced to give up Constitutional right. You can cede them at your own peril!

Yes
The common law authority of medical quarantine (and to define what was necessary in what conditions) was held by medical authorities of which the Governor is not one. When most of that medical common law authority was repealed decades ago (IIRC about the time of Legionairre’s disease) no Constitutional Amendment was made moving those medical authorities and powers to the Governor’s office.

Is this judge a medical person or an expert on anything besides law? These little emperors think they can rule on anything even against the POTUS when they want. He will have deaths on his hands

This is Illinois. Judges [and others] can have tragic accidents in Democrat controlled polities if they interfere with the whims of those in power. We will see.

From my perspective, I don’t believe the coronavirus is or was ever as lethal and pervasive as first imagined.
In the 2016 election I voted for Trump and not Drs. Birx and Fauci to run the country.

We are at war with CCP. The leader recognizing this is Sen.Tom Cotton. Sen.Cotton stated the evidence indicates the CCP struck with the CCP Virus to destroy the economies of the world, cover up their own implosion, and emerge as the dominant world power. Meanwhile, let’s not deny or minimize the lethality of this attack. (Natural News) Beginning in March, as the pandemic denialism movement started gaining steam, the naysayers started arguing that all the “covid-19 deaths” were actually just people who would have died anyway. All the death certificates were being switched to coronavirus, they said, to fake the coronavirus deaths.
This argument continues to this day. In effect, most of the independent media is now claiming that there is no net increase in global mortality whatsoever and that all the people who are said to have died from covid-19 actually died from other causes. The coronavirus “hysteria,” they say, is a global false flag event that’s being staged by 100+ nations and hundreds of thousands of complicit doctors and nurses in order to enslave the human race under medical tyranny.
The Financial Times just released a detailed, bombshell analysis of global mortality that obliterates that denialist argument. By studying detailed mortality statistics across over a dozen countries and prominent cities (such as NYC), the Financial Times was able to document a global pattern of 50 percent excess mortality from any cause, showing that something is suddenly killing hundreds of thousands of people worldwide, regardless of what’s on death certificates.
https://www.naturalnews.com/…
The Financial Times even concluded that the global death toll from covid-19 should actually be over 300,000 deaths, not the roughly 200,000 that are currently claimed as “official” deaths. In other words, as you’ll see from the charts below, it’s almost certain that official death counts are underestimating the real coronavirus deaths by at least a third.
