“We’re not in a place where we’re saying shut the whole country down. We got to be more targeted,” Dr. Vivek Murthy said Friday morning on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”

“If we don’t do that, what you’re going to find is that people will become even more fatigued. Schools won’t be open to children and the economy will be hit harder, so we’ve got to follow science, but we’ve also got to be more precise.

WTF is a targeted restriction? Shutting down Tulsa OK because we feel like it? Is that following the science?

That is what it sounds like. COVID being used as an excuse to punish citizens.

Let’s look at this rationally without any politics for one moment (i know its difficult). What is the strategy here? Lock down certain areas to not overwhelm hospitals. Ok, got it but can’t we just build mobile hospitals like what was done in the Jacob Javits center in NYC. Isn’t the military expert at creating field hospitals?

Do they like the “targeted” shutdowns, such as espoused by Chicago’s Lori Lightfoot????

Lightfoot has all but canceled Thanksgiving for Chicago. Is that what these people want?

But PedoJoe kept telling us he’d follow “the scientists”

As contradictory as they have been

That if “they” recommended a TOTAL SHUTDOWN, our “leader” would do it

Targeted restrictions means closing churches. It also means closing all businesses in Red states.

There’s a reason for it. She’s a lightweight and won’t even take on Murkowski. Stay home and count your money Sarah.

Isn’t it up to State and local governments to place restrictions as needed?

It will be a “follow the politics” type of shutdown. Kind of like Stalin targeted Ukraine.
