    Based on the time stamp, I'm going to guess that would have gotten traction by now if it were real.
    I don't know how you can do this in such short order. There will be riots in grocery stores.
    If you're going to do it, wouldn't you have to implement over four days -- divided by last initial, for example -- to ensure everybody had a fair shake at getting the necessities of survival?

    The panic this would cause. It would be unfathomable. Also, just hours ago the president said he wasn't even going to issue a national stay at home order. Of course not like what he says is gospel or anything. But this is pretty unrealistic.

    You can't f-ing win with these nutjobs. The type of people who love the castle doctrine - aka Stand Your Ground - now are demanding their right to go about and leave their homes.

    Ammon Bundy, who led Malheur occupation, pledges to defend Idahoans’ rights under stay-home order

    Can we start the rumor that right-wingers are now banned from hanging out in hospitals? ERs in particular? And if they do they MUST wear a mask?

    The modern conservative's motto:

    Tu es dux non est mecum - ("You're Not The Boss of Me"sounds a lot classier in Latin).

    Also, Homeland Security cannot mobilize the National Guard. That’s a state governor sort of thing, and the Stafford Act does not enable or allow the president to declare a national quarantine.

    Did some more research. This meme has been floating around for three weeks. What Is the Stafford Act? Despite Text-Message Hoax, It's Not a Plan for National Quarantine

    The Stafford Act was passed and signed into law in 1988. It created the current system by which the president can declare a disaster upon request by a state government due to natural disasters, and how FEMA reacts to those disasters. The president already activated the Stafford Act on March 13.

    And he may be part of the reason Idaho's case count has gone from 310 to 673 in three days.

    What would Jesus do? Well, he'd convene a clinic to help the sick, but he'd only accept professional services at his clinic from people who believe the gays are burning in hell or that abortion is murder. He'd have the power to bring people together in healing -- both literal and figurative -- but he'd rather wail and gnash teeth about certain things he considers evil than actually maximize healing.

    Group behind NYC's COVID-19 field hospital run by antigay evangelist

    In a time of world crisis, is this really what Jesus would do? Not as I understand the general positions of the faith.

    But this is what Franklin Graham, renowned Trumpist, is doing.
