Institute An Under 21 Curfew

Post by TC Shuts Up » Wed Mar 18, 2020 6:58 pm

To prevent young people from spreading the virus, institute a nationwide curfew for people under 21. After their parents bail them out once or twice, they'll ground them forever and enforce the curfew.


Disagreeing with Communists is NOT an impeachable offense.

Never eat Sushi past its expiration date.

An over 65 curfew 24 hours for 6 months would be more effective.

I was advocating something similar. Over 60 in isolation. Under 60 works double shift if necessary to take care of the economy and the little kids as waves of sickness sweeps though and gets that herd immunity built up. Then you can let the old folks back out of their homes.

Right, there should be fewer deaths that way.

Ehhh. Survey says wrong answer...

I'm over 60 but in better health and physical shape than many of the 40 something's I know.

Let the 40 year olds that can't run a 6 minute mile and deadlift twice their body weight stay at home. I'll work the doubles.


New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

You are by far the exception. We don’t have time for health screenings however. So maybe buy some fake creds and be 59 again?

Most likely not a good idea. The airing of grievances portion would go on for days...

Since this is no longer America, round up all the people over 65 and send 'em on cruises. Tell them that it's a free vacation.

Better yet, round the whippersnappers up and conscript them into domestic service to real Americans who love their country.

Here's one example of what I mean about these punks.

"Teens" coughing on produce in grocery stores.

Teens who engage in that type of behavior should be arrested and prosecuted.

My stepdaughter is a nurse at Royal Oak Beaumont. She says they have several 30 something's in ICU with COVID-19. In their mind younger age people no longer have a "free pass".

It hospitalizes 20-45 year olds at the same rate as 45+. They may not die but that isn’t the point. It still taxes the health care system beyond what it can handle.

On the general topic of curfews - it seems to me that they would be counter-productive insofar as you're condensing the 24-hour day into a shorter period of time, thus putting more people into public spaces when they CAN go out. In other words, say 100 people in public spread out over a 24 hour day as opposed to the same 100 people in public spread out over an 18-hour day means higher density during those 18 hours.

Same with Wal Mart reducing its hours. Same number of people will go grocery shopping, just condensed into a shorter time period.

I think all those kids that went down to spring break should be put on cruise ships and sent out into the Gulf of Mexico for 3-4 weeks... or a week after the last one of them recovers from their sickness, before they are allowed to return to shore.
