A cynic would say that the Atlantic piece two weeks was the opening salvo for the later accusations that Trump didn't initiate a war with a nuclear power, because he and his intelligence agencies knew that this was a Chinese bioweapon unleashed on the US.

No, your position is that you take a different interpretation of what "necessary" means. For most functioning adults, NJ was in a true lockdown in March.

Quite, the turnaround. There was no lockdown Ok, the lockdown order doesn't fit a broad definition, Show me the lockdown order No, not that lockdown order, the one that shows the lockdown order OK, the real lockdown order is not really a lockdown order, because it doesn't fit my interpretation of the lockdown order Does that summarize your position?

Usually I'd tell you to do your on homework Sue, but it's too enjoyable to club you in the head with facts. Enjoy the reading 2. All New Jersey residents shall remain home or at their place of residence unless they are 1) obtaining goods or services from essential retail businesses, as described in Paragraph 6; 2) obtaining takeout food or beverages from restaurants, other dining establishments, or food courts, pursuant to Paragraph 8; 3) seeking medical attention, essential social services, or assistance from law enforcement or emergency services; 4) visiting family or other individuals with whom the resident has a close personal relationship, such as those for whom the individual is a caretaker or romantic partner; 5) reporting to, or performing, their job; 6) walking, running, operating a wheelchair, or engaging in outdoor activities with immediate family members, caretakers, household members, or romantic partners while following best social distancing practices with other individuals, including staying six feet apart; 7) leaving the home for an educational, religious, or political reason; 😎 leaving because of a reasonable fear for his or her health or safety; or 9) leaving at the direction of law enforcement or other government agency.

That was an April article discussing the extension of a lockdown ordered in March. Do you enjoy getting clubbed in the head by facts? Murphy orders N.J. residents to stay home, closes non-essential retail businesses in state lockdown to fight Coronavirus Gov. Phil Murphy on Saturday announced he’s putting New Jersey into near-lockdown mode to combat the spread of the coronavirus, ordering nearly all of the state’s 9 million residents to stay at home and mandating that non-essential retail businesses be closed until further notice.

Thanks for confirming the asymmetry of your contribution vs your taking in this forum. There's a perfect snapshot of communism for the kids.

Magox's definition - Lock downs means that things are shut down and people are not able to go out except for necessary items. NJ shut nearly everything down, and governor issued an order for people to stay inside, other than to get necessary items. Why are you even arguing this?

Uhm, things were shut down and people did not go out except for necessities. I take it you were here in late March to prove there wasn't a lockdown?

Keep proving that you're only here to disrupt and agitate.

People were free to leave, but the official guidance was to stay inside, except for necessary items. But you knew that.

You don't consider tristate NY part of USA?

Are you seriously trying to make this argument? Restriction = Closing pubs 1 hr earlier Lockdown = Not allowing any activity at all

I'll keep repeating this because it gets lost in the conversations. PATRIOT created very few NEW authorities for the Feds. All it did was consolidate existing rules spread out over dozens of laws & regulations into a single huge act.

The profile of the ricin lady, the Oregon shooter and the shot Kenosha protesters certainly fit this description.

It was accurate, but definitely an unnecessary reply to a proven liar who's on a mission to tear down. The irony of course is his statement that he's here only to expose other posters' lies.

You should have stopped here

This is a perfect illustration why you're a horrible human being whose words incite more violence. You take on a poster who openly says he doesn't want to speculate on something that he isn't 100% certain, and you introduce a known falsehood to goad him into a fake discussion.

Show me where he's discussing a lockdown. Even in UK, where everyone is pushing panic porn is doing nothing of the sort and is just curtailing pub hours, because apparently people have looser standards later in the evening after a few pints. Who would have guessed?

You mean answers. They have no problems with questions.

My BiL who does a ton of business with China, said that was the first thing his counterparts told him back in February.

I've asked this question of the experts before, has there ever been a virus that's been this precisely targeted?

You couldn't design a better older population control bomb than this. Wonder which country fits this description?

And other than the obvious ....

I don't think there's any doubt that this is the case. The question to me is when did it get ramped up to be used for political ends?
