Update: Was walking around the block of my residence outside today for like ten minutes and there’s been this white hazmat van driving around town the last four days. He was parked in a grocery store parking lot for like three minutes and inside the driver’s seat was a soldier dressed in uniform. That’s not a good sign, right?
See how questions of this sort are rooted existentially in dasein? And certainly the individual answers will be.
It will be seen as a bad thing by some and a good thing by others. Or, for some, just shrugged off. And they will give you their reasons based how they see themselves out in the particular world around them.
Now, there are facts that can be ascertained regarding the use of military personnel in this crisis. But, again, our reaction to these facts are, from my frame of mind, the embodiment of “I”.
Your “I”, my “I”, his “I” her “I”? Our “we”? Their “we”?
The question here [in a philosophy venue] is what to make of this. Is there a way in which to think and to feel and to act in regard to the use of the military in this situation?
The most rational way? The only rational way? An epistemologically sound manner?
Then imagine if your own reasonably intact sense of self here was to become considerably more fractured and fragmented. Like mine.
In fact, the coronavirus outbreak is the classic object lesson for someone who thinks like me. “I” in the time distress, turbulence, uncertainty. What stays the same, what changes.
Otherwise, sure, carry on. 
Update: Seen another white hazmat van smoking a cigarette on my porch and this time it isn’t the same one. It appears they’re patrolling the area every thirty minutes at regular frequent intervals.
Nah that’s not government. They wouldn’t be rooting around a small rural community like yours (not yet, anyway). He’s probably a bad guy… likely a right-winger white nationalist. They like to dress up in fatigues and shit and go driving around in company vans listening to Bob Seger while looking for jews and cops to spray coronavirus on (no shit, google it). Doubt he was antifa, mad maxist or anarchist. They tend to dress more stylishly.
I don’t think so man, they look unmarked and standard government issued. The kind of vehicles that only the government can afford. Didn’t look like no poser to me and there isn’t just one van either but instead multiple ones.
Alright here’s what you do.
If you don’t have any warrants for your arrest, you can from from them when they try to take you into custody for transport to the fema camp, without incurring any charges (resisting arrest). So you lose nothing by running, and you sure as shit don’t wanna go to a fema camp because all they do is play checkers and read old People magazines all day. If you run, and they catch you, your good (legally), and off you go. So you might as well run as a first option. And don’t worry, they won’t shoot at you. If a neighbor saw it and got it to the news media, well… they think they got problems now? Let the country find out government is shooting at citizens who resist detention. Total chaos in less than 24 hrs. The government wouldn’t dare take that risk (not yet. not yet.)
I have a fall back position to go to if it gets that bad, kind of a hike but I know where to go.
I’m a small fish or nobody really where I’m not worried about them coming for me, at least that’s what I like to think. I’m pretty much holding up here lying low under the radar, I rarely venture outside.
Here we go: THE BIG GAMBLE?
[b]"President Trump is weighing calls from some Republican lawmakers and White House advisers to scale back steps to contain the coronavirus despite the advice of federal health officials as a growing number of conservatives argue that the impact on the economy has become too severe, according to several people with knowledge of the internal deliberations.
"Loosening restrictions on social distancing would override the internal warnings of senior U.S. health officials, including Anthony S. Fauci, who have said that the United States has not yet felt the worst of the pandemic.
“WE CANNOT LET THE CURE BE WORSE THAN THE PROBLEM ITSELF,” Trump said in a tweet late Sunday. “AT THE END OF THE 15 DAY PERIOD, WE WILL MAKE A DECISION AS TO WHICH WAY WE WANT TO GO!”
“The 15-day period is set to end on March 30.”[/b] WP March 23, 2020
So, in a week, which way will we go here in America? And this is not just an economic question of course. If Trump gambles on scaling back “social distancing”, and, as a result, the infections explode, lots and lots and lots of people could die.
And the economic nosedive might be that much worse.
Or, sure, he could “reboot” the economy, new infections don’t go through the roof, the economy becomes bullish again and the gamble pays off.
Seven days and counting?
From the NYT:
[b]"But there could be consequences to ending the measures too quickly. The recent rise of cases in Hong Kong, after there had been an easing of the spread of the virus, is something of an object lesson about how ending strict measures too soon can have dangerous consequences.
"In a tweet on Monday morning, Thomas Bossert, the former homeland security adviser who for weeks has been vocal about the need for the U.S. government to take stricter measures, said, “Sadly, the numbers now suggest the U.S. is poised to take the lead in #coronavirus cases. It’s reasonable to plan for the US to top the list of countries with the most cases in approximately 1 week. This does NOT make social intervention futile. It makes it imperative!”[/b]
Alex, I’ll go with most American lives are disposable or expendable including their health for a loose failed bioweapon all over the world to prop up a dying currency and economy along with someone desperately trying to get politically reelected.

Oh shit, I forgot. Good call. 
Just don’t let it happen again.
