I read this article and just shook my head in disgust. I wasn't surprised. Just disgusted.
People are going to die. Needlessly. Those who get the virus and recover can lose up to 30% of their lung capacity permanently.
It's been proven that children can get this disease. There is a 12 year old girl in Georgia right now fighting for her life because of the virus. She didn't have any preexisting conditions. She was a normal healthy 12 year old child.
No one has considered babies. Babies don't have fully developed immune systems. Nor has anyone considered pregnant women. What happens to the fetus if she gets the virus?
For 4 decades I've watched the conservatives dismantle the greatest nation in the world. All for greed. Government isn't the problem. It never was. Regulations were established for very good reasons in most cases. There was a very good reason why business was kept separate from the government and conflict of interest laws were strictly enforced. Now, anyone with money can buy politicians and write laws.
Meanwhile what is happening in Texas, Florida and other red states doesn't need to happen but is and will because the people there elected incompetent people who put themselves and money first. Not the people they are supposed to represent. Also because the people in those states have been brainwashed to believe that government is bad and should be reduced to nothing.
Well, now, thousands will die needlessly because of such belief.

Will Texas or Florida be 'the next Italy'? Red states lag blue in stay-at-home orders
In the absence of clear federal guidance, the largest American states are going their own way.
