  1. I hope that the only people who get the virus and die are attorneys. Didnt the colonial military say "first lets kill all the lawyers"? If it wasn't for medical lawsuits, we would have a robust medical system that could easily handle the virus.

  5. The circuit court will still be open, with hundreds passing through and crowded court rooms. It's a fucking breeding ground for disease. The court system will be the key player in spreading this to the whole area. The judges will have blood on their hands.
