Flu kills people, too.
When was the last influenza pandemic that threatened to gut the entire airline industry? |
The economic impacts have nothing to do with the medical fact that people die from the flu every year to the amount of tens of thousands. So why haven't you been asking people to wear a mask and get vaccinated during flu season? Or are your arguments simply out of recent self-interest?

2) Not on the scale we are seeing with COVID. 3) The affects we are seeing on the economy — whether justified or not, whether fostered by media fear-mongering or not — are putting our livelihoods on the chopping block. 4) If a vaccine could help mitigate this effect — and reduce their overall infection rate — I see it as a good thing. It’s all about degrees of risk. |

Actually that is a myth. The Constitution doesn't need to be interpreted. It means what it says at the time it was written down. SCOTUS is there to decide if something fits into the Constitution, not the other way around.
The constitution is very exact and restricts the federal government to very few powers. It is not open to interpretation but over the years the government and judiciary have attempted to persuade the population that it is open to interpretation in order to expand the power of both parties. |

However, it's not as simple as you describe. It is open to the interpretation of the justices... Even the 9 Justices often don't agree on what the Constitution means at times... |

I don't disagree that the role of the Supreme Court is to invalidate legislation or executive actions which, in the Court’s considered judgment, conflict with the Constitution.
However, it's not as simple as you describe. It is open to the interpretation of the justices... Even the 9 Justices often don't agree on what the Constitution means at times... Look through the Constitution and find where it gives this power of interpretation to the Court. Is it there? If not, where did this power come from? |
