Making this political is frankly disgusting. Shows how shallow you are. Just as disgusting as Democrats loading pork in their bills. This is a population density issue. Urban areas are more susceptible than rural. That plays state to state and county to county.
Your info on covid “does not kill”is also tru for aids and the flu. Again, cherry picking
It’s nice you take the attitude they would have died anyway. I now have three people I know that have died from this- one in her sixties, but what the hell. Also, a forty year old with no underlying conditions out for 6 weeks- including 2 in the hospital with respirator, but Sam says nothing to see here. Sam- you sicken me. You have let ideology and neurosis develop some kind of fantasy world. This thing is real, it’s deadly, and we need to continue to vigilant. All I can say Sam is I’m glad you are not in charge
If I was in charge, you could still do what you wish. I wouldn't impose my will on you. If you think this isn't political then you are not paying attention.
The cases against the Blue State Governors haven't left the courts in those states. The Governors have been losing cases brought by businesses over their forced closures. The Governors don't just get to do what they wish.
My late wife had cirrhosis from hepatitis C, smoked, neuropathy, and drank alcohol frequently. She died from a brain aneurysm. 30,000 people in the US die from aneurysms annually and 500,000 worldwide. I held her hand when she passed away. She was 58. People die. People get sick. This is another way to get sick. It's no reason to shut down commerce and destroy our economy.
You don't sicken me. I respect your opinion and your right to shelter in place.
