Joy Behar asks whether Michigan protesters are 'willing to sign away their right to treatment' for v

With stay-at-home orders becoming the new normal for people across the United States, some are taking to the streets to protest restrictions they say have gone too far—and Joy Behar has some choice words for them.

Behar reacted to reports of protestors in Michigan violating Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s stay-at-home order on Thursday’s episode of The View.

“I’d like to ask them if they’re willing to sign away their right to treatment if and when they get infected,” she said. “Are you going to say ‘okay, I don’t need a ventilator because I thought I should go out and defy the governor’s order?’” she asked.

She continued, “I’d like to know if people in states that are following the guidelines—like people like us in New York—can be sure that these people don’t come here.”

I have thought for a long time that stupidity should be terminal. In these cases, it just might be.

to sign a form that puts them on a low priority list for life saving health care, regardless of age or likelihood of recovery.

If you are going to gamble away your life and endanger the lives of others, then you should be at the end of the line when it comes to administering life saving measures.

If they get infected they should be denied health services.

No “willing” just should be done.

This wasn’t accidental behavior, it was purposeful and wanton disregard of an health related state order.

I cry fake tears for them, but I’m sorry if they infected anyone who wasn’t protesting.
