If you look at the facts, many other countries have been “locked down” implementing social distancing and they are getting it somewhat under control and trying very slowly and gradually to return to some sort of normal of way of life but being careful not to rush things and risk further spread. Nobody has near the cases we do.
We are on track to be over 500k cases before the end of the week if it keeps increasing like it is and they’re talking about wanting to end the social distancing measures and have a “big celebration” in certain terms even though Dr. Fauci, the lead expert on infectious diseases and an actual Dr. and scientist keeps saying it’s way too early to be declaring victory over a virus that hasn’t even reached it’s peak.
You open things up again too soon, things could get ten times worse and in the long run do more harm than a couple months of social distancing. In my opinion.
Even so, we had the biggest warning about this as we watched it spreading overseas. More could’ve been done.
You don’t wait until until the branch is already falling to try and put a rope in it to prevent it from falling.
