But Georgia is starting to open anyhow. At some point, the smart people are going to stop believing the horse crap.
This virus is somewhat more dangerous than a normal flu, but it’s NOT f***ing ebola folks. Some measures initially to prevent the medical system from being overrun like in Italy were probably warranted, but if we leave it to the hysterical hypochondriac old women (and old “women” with vestigial appendix-like “testicles”) in DC, we’ll never open.
They’ve found Trump’s achilles heel. He’s a Howard Hughes level germophobe, so they know they can get to him and cause him to throw reason out the window.
I think the initial shutdown can be justified.
This was a new virus and nobody knew how bad it would be or not be. To err on the side of caution in that case was wisdom.
But we are well past the point where this can be justified any longer.
We know far more about this than we did last month and since the goal of not overwhelming the healthcare system was achieved, then this lock down needs to end.
We do still need to be prepared in the event of another surge of serious cases, but hospitals and the healthcare industry need to go ack to the business of providing again with the understanding by the patients that should it be necessary to cancel procedures because of demand by infected patients, then that’s going to happen.
But to let everything sit idle and lay off workers just in case? That’s ridiculous.
