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.
The Virginia governor, on the day he first closed the schools, said that their schools will be closed for “at least” the rest of this school year.
IMO, he was planning on this from day one.
Just one more thing leading me to believe this event was scripted.
