How come we don't shutdown the country every year?
I'll answer that. Because it's Donald Trump who's president and this is an election year.
Indeed!
Daily movement and social activity has been virtually halted
because of the stay-at-home quarantine... which has translated into a significant drop in the typical mortality that is inherent in a fully-functioning economy with unrestricted social freedoms/movement! There has been a fraction of lives saved by the COVID-19 quarantine which pales in comparison to the lives lost without the quarantine due to willful personal choices and random circumstance such as automobile related deaths and an array of other accidents. It is pure absurdity in continuing the quarantine/lock-down! Let God decide the outcome at this point. OPEN ECONOMY NOW.
