    A sane, rational post.
    I'm not sure I agree you about the economy, but you may be right. I just don't know.

      I understand about wanting to get people back to work but, they better make sure they have plenty of testing before they do or we could end right back where we are.
      Here is how things would have turned out all over the country with no stay at home orders.https://www.businessinsider.com/coro...-capita-2020-4

          Maybe you didn't see my post above. One study in one county isn't necessarily reflective of the country as a whole.
          If this ends up being true I'll have no problem admitting it.

          And, we didn't know how bad it was gonna be in the beginning. Any info we get now wasn't helping us on March 10.

            We won't really know until more states start more testing in the thousands to get the full picture but, I believe the experts were right in getting us to start social distancing and that is paying big dividends so far. I'm ok with opening the economy slowly with lots of testing.

              I don't disagree with the fact we achieved good either. Hospitals would have been overrun all over the country. We need to reopen with that in mind, as we go forward.

                  You key board warriors can argue till your fingers fall off.
                  What you think or say isn't going to change what the elected officials do.
                  So keep pounding the keys and arguing back and forth, at least it passes your time during all of this.

                    The elected officials don't have the power. Only we the people and the Constitution have the power. Their job is to protect the Constitution, not push their lefty agenda.

                      You’re exactly right. But the political zealots will never figure it out.

                        We can't do anything. But thanks to your post, I can now be more productive and cure cancer.

                          For those that don’t know, cancer kills 600,000 people in this country every year.
