The USA can't be closed down forever. A couple months ago everyone was talking about restrictions until we get to "flattening the curve" to prevent our healthcare system from being overwhelmed. Well, our healthcare system never got overwhelmed (yes, some places are certainly busy), and now the curve is "flattening" in places.
So, what are some of the powers that be saying? "Now we have to wait until we are on the backside of the curve before letting people out of their homes!".
At what point do we start planning on opening our front doors? So we get on the "backside of the curve"... how much you want to bet that some in government will then say "WAIT! We have to wait until everyone is healthy!" - which will be NEVER.
For parts of the country where the china virus is virtually non-existent, why are they being restricted? For parts of the country where the "curve is flattening", why are we not planning on reopening?
NO ONE that I have heard is saying we should just blow the doors open, dang the torpedoes, full speed ahead with no concern for health. As it is now we have stores open in quarantine areas with health controls such as wearing masks and social distancing.
Why can't other stores and businesses open and operate like that?
