Cause it sure will save a few lives if you do. If we all stayed home and didn’t drive you know how many lives would be saved from car crashes?
We had an absolute inadequate response when this kicked off. This has set off a series of each State responding independently while the Feds have thrown money at the problem hoping to save it. Zero guidance. But it’s a big country. Rules in Las Vegas NV gotta be different than rules in Las Vegas NM.
I agree that closing businesses is/was bad. Not everyone, everywhere needed to shutter doors. Especially with no metric on how to open them up again. Honestly, it looks like it’s gonna get a lot worse when we all have to stand on our feet again and see how many businesses can’t open. I’m genuinely not looking forward to that.
Is the current reality overblown? I don’t know. History will tell. I find it amazing at how politicized it has become, however. But dang, the initial response to this is really looking bad... bad like Troy partying next to the Trojan Horse.
