The world is dangerous. We cannot create a "safe space" outside our home. Hell, we cannot even do that in our own homes for any real length of time.

We all have to Man-Up. All the platitudes and commercials with catch phrases of "Fierce", and "Jersey Strong" and "Stand up to..." and all of the other BS is just that - BS.

There are risks in life. It sounds like we cannot eradicate this virus entirely. Since we will not be able to eradicate it entirely, it is foolish to use that as a guidepost of when it is safe to reopen the country and economy.

Dennis Prager said something, to paraphrase, that we can listen to experts, in this case experts in disease control, but that the experts should not be the ones making policy.

If it was up to doctors such as Fauci and Rahm Emmanuel’s brother, we would stay locked down for the next year plus.

The economic and societal meltdown that would occur if we were adopt such policies are of no concern to experts such as these doctors, because their expertise is in disease. And the fact that they have no responsibility to oversee the government or economy or society as a whole.

Yep - you can make anything fool-proof, but you can't make it damn-fool-proof...
