For every person cowed by fear of a mystery disease, there's another person who's not. The recommendation of governors and local officials to "shelter in place" (newspeak bullshit) is being ignored. Based on the information I've been able to find about the Wu-flu "epidemic", I think that's the right choice.
Would be dictators, like the mayor of Chicago, are revealing themselves, however. She plans to arrest people for jogging in the sunshine instead of cowering at home, because nothing stops the spread of a "fearsome" disease like putting people in crowded jails. It's time to wreck these mini dictators and their little empires and fiefdoms--it's way past time in the United States for the people to assert their sovereignty and put the government, at all levels, back in check.
As I've written numerous times on my blog, the real United States is all about Jeffersonian Democracy. The apparatchiks, the busy bodies, the soccer moms, and their political allies are not America. It looks like the proponents of the slowly creeping authoritarianism of the past several decades want to institutionalize it over the sniffles, and the time for LARPing about freedom is coming to an end. People will have to beat these little commies down, or accept a gross form of slavery.
