yeah, as with others, I have to disagree......
I am considered an "essential" worker..... In management no less....
This week, the store I work in will do well over 2m in top line sales. This is retail!!! So, where's the "fear" you mention???? Hell, We have lines ALL day waiting to get in..
Next Gus, you mention when its "safe".... You do understand that "safe" is a subjective term right? It's much like when liberals use the term "fair" share as in everyone needs to pay their "fair" share. No one can actually define "fair". Want to guess why? Because once they lay a definition on it, they would be held to that standard. Its a MOVING goal post just like your term "safe".

Add to the list, abortion clinics are open for business.
However, my neighbor's radiation treatments for cancer are postponed indefinitely, "due to COVID-19" he was told.
Last week, my cousin's wife was able to get to an ED for x-rays which showed two masses, probable cancer. But, she cannot get a PET scan for 4 weeks!! I know that under normal circumstances, one can get a PET scan within 4 days at the most at the hospitals in my city.

it will always be pure speculation, as current data is not correct with some places attributing too many and other places not enough deaths being caused by cv.

Hopefully, the government will intern these thought-crime violaters, indefinitely, at gitmo....
They are dangerous and must be silenced.

If you depend on the government to protect you, you probably should just go away and die right now.

it's a lot more than just thought
and yes, they are dangerous, although I don't say and I don't know anybody else saying they should be silenced
nobody ever gets silenced in America - although some poor souls may be banned from certain forums and have to find other ones which they can easily do
America is a country where you have the inalienable right to express your opinion no matter how much of an idiot you might be
from the article which is from N.I.H., NLM (the National Library of Medicine)and NCBI (the National Center for Biotechnology Information):
"Seventeen states allow for nonmedical vaccination exemptions. This dangerous trend renders multiple populous cities vulnerable to vaccine-preventable diseases. Recent resurgences of measles, mumps, and pertussis and increased mortality from vaccine-preventable diseases" etc.
