WELL SAID.I get that you actually thought the virus would go away.
But in reality it never will. A virus never disappears. The reason for closing down was two fold.
One was to allow hospitals to be able to handle the expected cases. The only problem was that in most areas those cases never came and hospitals and staff, i.e. Doctors, nurses and others are losing their jobs.
Problems like heart attacks, cancer and other life threatening problems are not showing up at the hospitals because of fear from the virus. They have not gone away, they just are not being admitted to the hospitals.
The other reason was to allow immunity to slowly build.
Now we are faced with larger problems.
People have rent due. They are using up their savings to buy food. They are worried that the job they had may not be there.
We are seeing drastic rises in spousal and child abuse,Alcoholism, Drug use, psychological disorders.
I get that some democrats are wanting to keep things closed down for longer. They hope that the economy will be in such free fall that it can't recover by election and it will help them. They are afraid that if it does start to recover then Trump will be running on a recovering economy.
But there has to be a time when what is good for the people outweighs the good of the party.
