We have completely disrupted our society through our social distancing practices, shutting our businesses, closing our schools, and still this thing has already killed nearly 60 thousand people in the United States since February 29th.
Without a vaccine, things are really going to be bad in the Fall when it returns.
I spent 4 years working in a third world country, maybe some of you are familiar with this : CLOWARD-PIVEN
A political strategy to overload the American welfare system to the point it creates a crisis and bankrupts the nation leaving the country no choice but to adopt a socialist / communist agenda.
That’s not exactly what happened to Venezuela but the way things are going puts us in a pattern like mentioned above.
Just want to say everyone should ware mask when , shoppimg at stores, when on the beach stay six ft apart. Just saying.
Did you really just compare Venezuela to the USA? You are so smart!
If you’re worried about catching the virus at the beach I’d suggest you not go to the beach. If you don’t get up under someone out there, I can’t imagine a safer place.
For those who live in fantasy world, the reason we should open everything is so we have an economy to go back to. It is severely damaged enough If you want to see where we’re headed trot on down to Venezuela.
Economics……pure economics……….but no common sense in my opinion………
We haven’t had four days of decreasing case numbers in a row yet, much less fourteen. Why are we talking about reopening the beaches again?
