Is it me or was it way too easy to shut down the entire country?

Shutdown isnt the word, the reality is economic manipulation in the long term sense

It's frightening.
Everything got shut down with out a whimper.
Where are the libertarians screaming there's no legal authority for this.
Who gives a county the right to impose a curfew?
Why did Shoot Straight close all their ranges while the mom and pop ranges remain open?
I'm going for a drive for the hell of it, Gas is cheap

I don't see anyone taking up arms against it.

Get the people used to something and it becomes easier to do.
Pavlov's dogs.
The biggest issue is the continued mounting of national debt.
Although for the first time the fed is brought under control of the treasury in this stimulus bailout. I see the fed buying up treasuries, and then declaring bankruptcy wiping out federal debt. The fed just hired someone to go out and buy they are offering premiums to treasury owners.
Restart, gold standard at 5k and ounce, who knows.

It was definitely too easy.
I wrote a bit of a thread about my medical opinion/experience from working in the ER and dealing with the CDC etc... in this same forum. It's my 0.5 cents if anyone has an extra 5 minutes.
Cut to the chase: I think this is 99% about control with a 1% nucleus of a viral respiratory illness used as a pretext, and it saddens me to see how eager people were to give up their liberties and allow our economy to be shut down.
My medical opinion aside, as a citizen I feel that everyone involved with shutting our economy down and issuing "mandates" etc... that infringe on our constitutional rights should be treated as an enemy of the state and thrown in jail for treason. Of course how do you do that when it is elements in our own government committing treason against our way of life and our citizens? "It's like domestic terrorism" is what one local cop said that I talked to.
