Another thing reinforcing the lockdown is the fear mob incited by the media and I think that’s going to make American life (and voting) very difficult. I saw a terrifying video of a group of shoppers at a grocery store on Staten Island going after a shopper who wasn’t wearing a mask. The mask wasn’t required in the store, btw.
Most of them were young, there were both males and females, all white that I could see, and probably middle class to lower middle class economically.
The frightening thing about this is that some of the people in the lockdown states love being locked down and having this power over their neighbors. Cuomo is extremely popular in NY. A family member who lives in NYC and has a job where he meets lots of people told me he never says anything to a stranger that sounds like criticism of Cuomo or the whole lockdown thing because he is afraid of their possible reaction. I mean physically afraid.
