The whole thing is a clusterfk. They should be protecting and isolating the at risk class rather locking down the whole country and the economy. Trump is ether getting, and taking, bad advice. Or there is more to this story.
It’s all political. The Dems have revved this up and are willing to destroy the country if they think it will “get” Trump.
None of them cares about the old, the young, or anything except crashing the economy and getting Trump, after which they will take over the whole country and even make Venezuela look good.
