But we are where we are today. And where we are is with 500,000 Minnesotans have lost their jobs — approaching 20 percent of the entire state workforce. Over 25 percent of those who have filed for unemployment benefits have a high school degree or less. Over 25 percent of the entire minority workforce has lost their jobs. Suicides, child and domestic abuse, mental illness, divorces, homelessness, food insecurity; all are up due to your actions which resulted in extensive anxiety about the epidemic and the tremendous loss of jobs.
On the other hand, it is now even more apparent that the virus poses no serious health threat to the vast, vast majority of the population. Younger, healthy people don’t even seem to become infected and if they do, are asymptomatic or suffer mild illnesses in almost every case. Your own models show that various scenarios of mitigation of spread measures show no difference between the harsh and extreme lockdown you have ordered and a more targeted approach aimed at the elderly and other vulnerable subpopulations.
why have you not changed course in the face of the horrendous damage you have inflicted on the lives of most Minnesotans? Why have you not acknowledged that a more targeted approach to mitigating the virus spread would work just as well? Are you too prideful to admit a mistake? Worried about losing face? There is too much at stake for such a foolish attitude. Come on, man, it is time to do the right thing.
