I'll feel more comfortable fully participating in the economy once there is the appropriate widespread testing, effective therapies and a vaccine
Thats funny shit right there.
1. Wide spread testing will only heighten your fear.
2 & 3. Haha, enjoy hiding under your bed until it's time to switch to your coffin
Those of us who are self-isolating aren't "afraid". Those who are in denial are the ones who are afraid. You're terrified your economy is collapsing.
When the Weather Channel says "Tornado warning", I go to the basement, because that's the safest thing to do, and I stay there until the storm passes. What are the odds you're going to be killed in a tornado? Less than being killed in this pandemic. Yet you wouldn't dare go outside during the tornado warning. This virus is far more deadly than a tornado, and you can't see it or know it's there. You don't know if you're one of the "lucky" ones it kills, until you get it.
Nobody is hiding under beds. We're adjusting to life lived with social distancing. We're developing strategies to work without endangering others, especially the essential workers who have been risking their lives daily, to let us shelter at home. We're finding ways to keep ourselves from getting the virus, because health care workers can't take much more of this. They're dying because Trump was unprepared.
You still don't have adequate testing or public health strategies to keep people safe. That's all on Trump. His leadership has been worse than non-existant. The USA would be better off if Trump had just gone back to the White House and stayed there, saying and doing nothing. Everything he did do, made things worse. Much, much worse, and his actions, continue to cost American lives.
The USA hasn't really ever been shut down. And yet you're pushing to reduce restrictions. 85,000 dead, 1,054,000 still sick, and people are out drinking, shoulder to should, with no masks. Americans are behaving like petulant toddlers, and like petulant toddlers, nothing is going to happen until they cut out the nonsense and start behaving themselves in a medically resonable way.
I'm willing to let these fools kill themselves, but they're endangering others and prolonging the shut down, and making their own greatest fears a reality. In the meantime, countries which really did lock down, with testing and PPE's, are re-opening, slowly.
I see water parks are opening in the USA???? Are you ******* shitting me? All pools, splash pads, and water parks are closed for the season in Canada. I'd been counting the weeks until the pool opens. Rats!!! Time to use those Pilates tapes I have.
