No evidence its working. Why doesn't Wal-Mart close at 10:30? Don't see anyone enforcing the regs anyway.

John Craig Colbert

I'm weary of these restrictions. We can only take so much.

Jesse Garcia

As a business owner affected by this, I fail to see how anyone thinks these restrictions helpful. Hospitality workers are floundering just above destruction to make you feel safe and yet our infection rate is the same as the open states. You’re stealing our lives for the feeling of safety.

Debra Riffle

I don't think it's right to decide which businesses or gatherings are limited by hours allowed to operate, or number of people allowed to congregate. Corona virus doesn't wait until 10 pm to come out. Why should churches be limited to numbers, as long as they are following the guidelines?

Will Mason

There is no evidence the orders have done anything so far. There is no reason to believe they are helping. But plenty if evidence that the restrictions are causing harm. They are irrational restrictions.

The current administration of Iran has proven to be unreliable and is not trustworthy.

Max

Iran has plenty of oil for energy generation.

Fred

No, not as long as the current regime is in power. Theocracies are always bad news ... something we should keep in mind!

Max

That has been going on since the Prophet Muhammad found the Muslim church in 610 AD.

The Constitution vests the power in the legislative branch to ensure decisions on war are made democratically, rather than by a single person.

It would take congress years to make a decision, and the amount of pork required would be phenomenal. Congress is dysfunctional.

Max

Most congressmen are millionaires, but our nation is nearly $40 Trillion in debt.

Max

Congress can't even pass a budget to fund the government.
