There state rights and federal rights. Shutting down all commerce in a state is the call of the state.
And no, I'm not wrong. If TN completely shut down 2 weeks before it did, my family and others would be in a worse situation. You dont know my situation.
The blame game can be done later although nobody knew anything going into this. Experts have been baffled. The most baffling part of all of this will be restarting the economy.

Still waiting for the link to the Constitutional amendment that states this.
Also, I should’ve stipulated had stimulus money been sent out, every state like Tennessee would’ve been better off. I had alluded to that though. Shut down on 3/16 (most ppl would have just been paid on 3/13)—shut down nationwide. Pay stimulus out so ppl receive it on 3/29 (last weekday of month) or in the case of people paid weekly half that amount each on 3/22 and 3/29, and DO NOT pay to those who make a certain amount per household (whether one or two work) and not if both are still working and receiving paychecks. It’s ludicrous for anyone to receive stimulus checks if they’re both still working whether it’s because they’re essential or they can work from home. We make too much so we won’t get ****. But if people are making $140,000 combined and still working, **** them. They don’t need it. In fact, they’re probably saving more money then ever. I ran a credit card analysis for ourselves. Right now, we’re not paying daycare for two, no gas money for our vehicles, no EZPass (for tolls), no overly priced breakfasts or lunches at Dunkin Donuts or wherever else. Can literally save about 6 grand more per month than we had been. So yeah, two people who are still employed shouldn’t receive ****. If the stimulus will pay you less than you’d normally receive, your place of employment, based on tiered profitability, must make up some to 80-85% of the difference. Given the digital age we are in and the recent viruses over the years, yes I do think this is something that could’ve been done and should’ve been planned out in advance. You could do this for 3-4 weeks starting on 3/16 (or even 3/14), totally isolating ****, tracing it, and then resume normalcy on 4/6 or 4/13 for those who can not work from home. Those who can still work from home would have to. Cases would be infinitely cut down upon this way. A clear vision and plan would be in place, thus lessening the widespread concern and the stumbling economy. Hospitals would be able to function without being overwhelmed because there would be less cases. A great leader with a clear plan in place like this and politicians who have a **** would’ve already thought to have had this in place.
I have more thoughts on exactly how the stimulus could connect to unemployment too but I’m too tired to continue right now. So yeah, it could be done.
