Let's review:
1 - Virginia says it will be closed for TWO YEARS. People go apeshit, Gov comes out and says he was 'misunderstood'.
2 - California declares martial law will be enacted if people don't obey hoax flu restrictions. People go apeshit, state clarifies they were 'misunderstood', no tanks would be involved, just a 'humanitarian' mission for the 'health' of the people.
They are seeing what they can get away with. This is why Trump let states decide when they could reopen.
How to do you show slaves that they are living on a plantation?
