The debate about what to do concerning the Corona Virus has been contentious. However, the leaders of our nation have for the most part done a great job. Unfortunately, many people are upset because they want a quick and easy answer to a troubling and problematic issue. They want the problem to be solved so that we can continue enjoying our freedom and prosperity. I would like that as well. I believe an answer was discovered early on when the herds immunity debate began to take shape. Although we do not have a vaccine in place, the idea that healthy will shield vulnerable is a fantastic idea and can work in theory if we had a vaccine. If you take a stadium full of people and only allow those people who do not have a vulnerability to the virus to attend you would in effect have a strong herd and sporting event could begin as early as tomorrow. There are a few problems with this policy. First, many people would be excluded from attending sporting events. Second, many people would feel discriminated against. Third, you would have to inform all the people with the vulnerability of the danger they put themselves in when they attend. Fourth, you could lower the risk of their exposure by requiring the vulnerable people to wear masks and that would in part give them an additional level of protection. Fifth,, have the vulnerable people sit in an area together and allow the public to know that area so that they would not expose those individuals with the virus. The government could easily require this policy to be mandated by all states to ensure that those individuals abide by the quarantine rules of our new society. Perhaps that appears too drastic, however, there are few options to consider at this point. The government should mandate that all vulnerable populations are required to wear masks when they go to any public gathering. By making requirements on one group of individuals this will allow the country to reopen. It will keep them safe while the government works to create a vaccine. I am a member of that vulnerable population and I am willing to live by the new rules of our society. It is my hope that President Trump and his leadership will consider allowing the country to reopen with a plan that I believe he can get behind and support. I believe it is possible to keep people safe providing that we ensure that the vulnerable populations take safeguards. I hope that the president and his cabinet will have the opportunity to review my post and consider this policy so that the world and our nations can return to work. I believe these changes can be implemented at all levels of our society. Thank you and God Bless you all.
