Some people deserve to be slapped!!! Lol really. You guys aren’t the only people who got put in lock down. The whole world had to go threw this. Don’t make yourself feel special.

Suing people isn’t going to make this go away

Jesus, so ppl would rather die than be safe and able to go back to their businesses. In order to be safe, some liberties must sometimes b given up. We have to hope that it’s not forever.

I support GavinNewsom & MayorOfLA Its sad Businesses are closed & cant think of ways to work during crisis, however the crisis dosent give them right to jeopardize my health, health of customers, health workers, & others. Lawyers filing suits should pay damages to State/City.

We are a a suing nation.

I notice slot of trump supporters on here have no pics. Are u ashamed?

This is dumb. That's why unemployment, stimulus, and loans are given.
