Honestly, I think politics makes reasonably smart people dumber (as does graduating from a liberal arts college ... but that's a tale for another time.)
I mean, you lock people away for a couple of months then are shocked when cases rise as people resume their semi-normal lives. What, dear governor did you think would happen? That the virus would just "give up" and go somewhere else? There is no "somewhere else"!! People who haven't been exposed because they've been ordered under involuntary house arrest by the governor(s) haven't been exposed to the virus so they haven't developed any antibodies for natural immunity. This isn't hard to figure out, governor(s)!
Recall that the whole idea was to slow down the infection rate so as not to overload our healthcare system ... remember? Well, the healthcare system today, even with the "surge" of new cases (the direct result of the deliberate action of the governors to isolate even healthy people, is not in any danger of being "overloaded." (As an aside, it's clear that the wearing of masks/daylong snot rags and the fictional "benefits" of (anti)-social distancing mandated by most of the governors aren't doing a damn thing to "stop the spread of the virus". Can't you see that, governor?!)
Easier to understand is why the Democrat/Left governors are continuing to behave this way. They clearly want to retard economic growth and sustain an ultra-high, though irrational, sense of fear, anxiety, distrust and anger among Americans just long enough to get the Democrat/Left Party to the 2020 election.
“As an aside, it’s clear that the wearing of masks/daylong snot rags and the fictional “benefits” of (anti)-social distancing mandated by most of the governors aren’t doing a damn thing to “stop the spread of the virus.”
I think the jury’s out on masks, to say the least. They’re certainly working in Taiwan where they were made mandatory when in public, early-on. Ironically, little of the other crap we’re doing is even necessary, given their control of the virus.
