How many deaths are prevented by an executive order that prevents big box stores from selling seeds, furniture, and paint?
^^^^^

Yeah, nobody can do anything productive for 2+ years. Very reasonable because if big stores can sell paint, that will spread the virus to millions (and with 50+% asymptomatic rate, lol). Just watch Netflix, order some takeout, just chill for 2, 3, 5, years, you won't hardly notice.

Nobody is saying that we need to send "everybody back to work" or put people on loving cruises ASAP. The argument is that hey, maybe people can visit their friends without dumb libs throwing a poo poo fit or you can buy things other than bare minimum nutrient gruel arbritarily at random buildings.

Every big box home improvement store I have been to sells the seeds in the main part of the store, not the garden center.

You can also just call up the store and buy it over the phone, and do a curbside pickup.

yes, the less people physically interact with each other, the less this disease spreads, the less people die, the quicker it is contained and ends, and the quicker you can go back to buying seeds in bulk. unnecessary social interaction is exactly what should be forbidden until it is over.

What is "unnecessary social interaction"? How is curbside delivery siginifcantly different from people in stores with limited occupanacy, wearing masks or being allowed to socialize outside of their ~household~

How do you manage that if this disease can't end until a vaccine is developed, which may be never as many in this thread have argued? What level is acceptable?

As somebody who has to go to work still to make sure your stupid rear end can live another day to say stupid poo poo on the internet please shut up about a virus that spreads primarily through close contact in enclosed spaces.

Yes, I do. That's why I'm so perplexed at why people accept arbitrary resrtictions without question or without accounting for preventative measures like masks and enforced occupancy limits. Even more troubling is the people who think that Covid has a 50+% asymptomatic rate and still think we should force everyone to be hikkomori indefinitely.

I still have to go to work so that you're baby rear end can live and so you can post in the first place as well, in close spaces.

When can people pursue basic aspects of their lives again (i.e. loving interact with people outside of their "household", buy goods that are arbitrarily deemed "non-essential" based on the whims of whatever state they live in, visit parks without libs throwing a shitfit, etc.)

these restrictions will be lifted somewhat soon i suspect, maybe another month, which will condemn tens of thousands if not more to die. but you will be able to get your seeds in person, congrats.

That is literally all I am arguing for. How many ~thousands~ over time from the mental health effects of being a hikkomori for an indefinite period of time?

When would it be acceptable to loosen restrictions?
