Georgia "opened" less than 2 weeks ago....64% rise in new cases was reported Monday in some sources...

The second wave, the seasonal one anticipated in the fall, is just the natural course of viral outbreaks of the past...the echo outbreak is what we will start to see by Memorial Day and what will be killing thousands more by June. By the 4th of July, expect the outlook to be as bleak as it was in March.

The sheer stupidity of the American public is depressing. If these people did not have a better than 50-50 chance of infecting and killing me, I would say let them go do what they want - pack the bars and stadiums and churches, die off by the millions if they wish...but unfortunately, I do not wish to die in their collateral dammage. I do not want to see my children lose their father or mother while still teens.

At some point, when is self-defense going to be redefined? If I were in a 'stand-your-ground' state and someone violated a 6' clearance of my property, are they NOT threatening my life? Am I not in my rights to shoot them first and stand my ground later?
