Yeah, another way of saying that is that Covid-19 is about as lethal as a typical pneumonia year.
Remind me the last time we shut down the nation, lost $7 trillion in wealth, added $5 trillion to the National Debt, catalyzed tens of thousands of business bankruptcies and put 33 million people out of work.
Right. Never.
I don’t think the shut down was a bad idea during the first 30 days when we had no idea what we were dealing with. Now that we know we are not dealing with something like Small Pox or Cholera, but something on the order of a typical winter flu bug, the entire nation should be brought back to normal, unmasked, back to work, back to school and open, and those people at extreme risk such as the very old, people with lung disease, heart disease, and obesity, should voluntarily practice social distancing and wear masks for their own protection.
A month in, we should have acknowledged that Covid 19 was not that much more dangerous than the common flu bugs or pneumonia, and opened everything up.
It is always tragic when people die. People die to the flu. People die to pneumonia. Poeople die to Covid 19. What’s the difference? You don’t collapse a national economy, soar National Debt, and destroy the savings and livelihoods of millions of small business owners for it.
This is not the Black Death we are talking about here.

In other words, Democrat governors ‘declared war’ without an exit strategy. Rather that their strategy isn’t sufficiently flexible to deal with changing circumstances. I’m looking at you Gov. Wolf (you slope shouldered incompetent).
Yeah, a co workers son just had a antibody test that showed he had covid. He was sick in in January. They have no idea how he got it.
