Maybe the idiots who were on the roads before who suddenly think that the speed limit has doubled because the roads were empty, will get closer to driving the speed limit again. Or are speed limits considered nanny state laws too?

I work in Bristol, Virginia and this is 100% an issue. State Street, a two-lane, runs through downtown with Virginia businesses on one side and Tennessee on the other. What a tremendous disadvantage for the wrong side of the street. Bristol, Virginia has really made some poor decisions lately anyway with a failed(so far) retail development and the city being in massive debt. This only exacerbates the issue. There’s no reason to have one side of the street open, and the other closed. Northam needs to pull his head out of his ass.

Exactly...like being able to get surgeries to stop you from dying of something besides COVID. Why are those things being politicized and shut down?
Any actual evidence of anyone being denied a surgery and then dying as a result?
I could give you several incidences of people who were damaged permanently and soon to possibly be fatal because medical care was curtailed in my state... One, very young and quite tragic. Hippa regulations, time and fear of getting fired will not allow me to do it.

Saltwater is good for whatever ails ya! I go snorkeling when I get sinus problems. They go away. There are limits though. I tried the Dead Sea while in Israel. It's great for the skin, but you feel slick as a weasel for days and days afterwards.
FWIW: I have enjoyed Senior shopping hours at Sams, Kroger, Walmart, etc. Just polite older folks, no lines, stocked shelves, and all for the price of going in looking like a bandit with my mask on. I asked my wife, who made my mask, to embroidery words on the mask: "Not a Quarantine - It's a Hold-up!"

Have you seen the dorks referring to people who dont wear masks, etc. as Darwin winners? Can someone more eloquent than me explain that's not how it works. It only works if a person has not reproduced or passed their genes.
I have passed mine (maybe more than I know) so frick all you Karens out there. No matter how I croak at this point, from a Darwinian standpoint, I win.
So frick all of you karen.

How does that have any affect on you? No one is stopping you from doing the limit and no faster. But let me guess you have no problem sitting in the left lane going right at the speed limit? If so and I see it every day...those are more of a danger than the speeder.
I will wait for you to tell me how someone going over the limit, passing you up, matters to you? With in 1 second they are pass you and you probably want see them again. Breaking speeding laws is the job of the police, not the Nancy's, Joe's or Karen's that always feel its their job to call the po po. If everyone on the highway drove at the same speed....
you'll see a lot more 3,4,10 car pileups.

Ah, what reason we have lost. We once sterilized the third generation of imbeciles, after proper testing of course. Heck the Nazi's based their sterilization program upon ours. Now we just mass produce the unproductive. If that is Darwinian I don't know what is.

My office had to cancel some cancer surgeries in March and April. Lots of elective heart caths which can find and prevent impending heart attacks were cancelled. Screening colonoscopies that detect colon cancer have been cancelled too.

Gotta come to the Coast. You know we "trash" would figure a way out of the trap. The bar is outside. My joint this weekend had 16 heads on tap. Get ya a cold one, walk down the boardwalk, look at the skin, rinse and repeat. DT OS has it figured out also. Bars on the street. Talgating etc with the music playing. Social distance be damned. Walking food offered. Gyros, tacos etc.

"Non-living things like businesses."
You DO know who WORKS for businesses, right? Living things. Living things that rely on those businesses to be able to feed themselves and their children.
What a colossal idiot you are.
The government does not have the capacity to take care of you. Period.
that does not make it somehow more important than the lives of living people. I'd sacrifice every business in America in a second if it meant stopping people from dying. moreover, why are politicians with zero medical knowledge making these decisions when we have highly educated medical professionals to make these choices.

I doubt anyone has died from not having a colonoscopy or getting that ingrown toenail removed.
