Looks like the Philippine President er I mean dictator is now giving orders to kill any citizen who does not obey the lockdown orders. Can you say world wide police state? Shame

Crazy.
Not happy about us losing rights over the lockdown, as well.
How it is going here in the US:
* You have to show a paper if you want to drive across state lines (I have it but I'm not dishonest enough to use it for anything outside of work-related needs).
* You can't eat in at restaurants.
* You are restricted to buying at certain stores and hours.
* You can't go to the doctor or dentist unless it is an emergency.
* Nothing related to hair-hygiene (barber, hair stylist).
* No Chiropractic work, massage therapy, podiatry, or physical therapy.
* Unable to eat anywhere with my family or sweetheart.
* Can't do anything leisure (such as going to a park or movie).
* Unable to travel to eat somewhere (had a vacation planned to Dallas to eat at the Boiling Crab to celebrate my promotion).
* Everyone is unreasonably hysterical about COVID-19 and acting like people doing anything normal makes that person a witch that needs to be burned (humans haven't changed at all: only the labels we use for the similar situations).
* You can be and police have stopped you to verify what you're doing is legitimate (such as getting essentials).
Meanwhile, despite the lack of testing outside of mostly ill people, the mortality rate is only 0.45% and of those people dying, 98.5% are people with underlying conditions where greater than 50% would have died this calendar year regardless.
And of all the people dying, 57% have other microbiol diseases in their lungs that are just as likely to have been responsible for killing them, too (but SARS-CoV-2 gets the "credit"😉.
