think that would temper the S. Carolina republicans against any further cuts to their state's efforts to battle outbreaks of disease, but I suspect not. I agree w/ you, KC_EnviroGuy, republicans seem more interested by far in party then people, regardless of consequences.

How many of these people (republicans) need to die before they see the light, and understand the rationale behind stay at home orders? And what gets me, is that who in their right minds would go out, if today's businesses are all opened up, when it is still not safe? I suspect that in reality, far fewer people would go out then who these protesters seem to be claiming they represent (they don't by the way). Don't let a loudmouth dictate what you should do, in order to protect you and yours.

So, while the rest of us are smart and stay at home, like me, an older/elderly guy, let the protesters go out, let them catch the CV, let them get sick and/or die (if they don't already have the CV). Let them suffer the consequences of their own actions, as they so proudly are demanding.

I won't shed a tear, unless it is a victim of their ignorance, and in this case, the protesters contributing to the murder of innocent victims by continuing to go out (while possibly sick w/ the CV and despite stay at home orders) still exposed innocent victims.
