i've heard and understand both sides of the argument when it comes to keeping the shutdown in place and the other side that says we need to reopen .... i can see why people believe we need to continue the lockdown indefinitely and i was leaning to that side of the argument for a while.... but with info coming out that because of the world wide shutdowns that millions in countries all over the world and maybe even in our own country if the economy collapses will face hunger and starvation [ and thats just the tip of the iceberg] ! add that to info coming out about how contagious this virus is [maybe the most contagious the world has ever seen !] it may be time to accept the fact that it is truly uncontainable! and even though both sides of the political spectrum say that their side is or would have done a better job fighting the virus in realty i dont think anyone could do much to stop the spread of this sci fy like contagion ! so the question is are we just prolonging the inevitable by continuing the shut down and are we risking the destruction of our and the rest of the worlds economies for trying to stop the spread of something that cant be stopped ?folks believe me when i say i'm being serious !because we know that sadly reopening the economy may result in the deaths of many but do we have time to wait it out ? will the world be thrown into chaos in that waiting period causing the deaths of millions maybe billions ? or is it time to bite the bullet and reopen and at the same time try protect our most vulnerable until this thing passes ...if it passes .....and lets be real for a second here there i no way we are anywhere near [this country or any other country] to testing everyone in our population ! the question is can we wait ? and if this virus is as contagious as they are starting to find does it matter in the end ? its a tough decision and i dont envy anyone that has to make that decision ! the world is hurting folks and maybe that cant be prevented but is it possible that we may be making it worse not just in the US but all around the world by trying to hide from it ? as sad as the fact that many have already died and will continue to die will a global collapse and mass starvation, the breakdown of social order other illnesses not being properly cared for do to social and economic collapse on a world wide scale [a modern dark ages] be much much worse ? it would be nice if we could stay shut down for months and months until we get a cure or it goes away [if it goes away] on its own but in reality time is not on our side ! every day the world stays shut down we are getting closer to the collapse of society due to economic pain ......maybe and i know it sounds harsh but maybe the only answer is herd immunity no matter how painful that may be .
