Every year around 39 million people in the United States get the flu. Every year around 30 to 60 thousand people in the United States die from the flu. Yet, we have never shut down the economy over it. The Romans even got the flu. It has been around for a long time. What we have with Covid-19 seems like voluntary martial law. People seem to be obedient to governments that give them free money. I just wonder if they will be so obedient when the government can no longer give them free money. Trust me, money doesn't grow on trees. My wife has always told me her grandfather used to always say there are no free rides. Want to know something before you get the bill, he was right. There are no free rides!
By the way, this post was partially inspired by a sermon recently given at Northlake Baptist Church in Gainesville, Georgia by the Rev. Danny Jones. I might not be in full agreement with everything he said in the context, but many points were valid.
