Re opening is a crazy idea...

... Unless you have proper testing. The virus is still at large and there is a decline in new casrs BECAUSE of the lockdown. This doesnt prove the lockdown is unnecessary but that it is necessary. If you open up, you need to be able to isolate and control the virus or its Groundhog Day for the black death.

The virus should be a science issue but (particularly for Americans it must be said) its a partisan culture war divide. Its like climate change debates ffs. This shouldn't be a thing.

@Burnley123 Agreed. But, the stupid people get participation trophies (their ignorance and stupidity MUST be given the same and equal weight of consideration as intelligence and rationality) and the ability to vote and generally have more time on their hands being the lazy, unemployed moochers that they are. Mind you, it's not THEIR fault. It's the fault of some minority or other minority. They've always known those minorities are just out to get them.

Plus, Republicans keep telling them that any second now that whole "trickle-down economics" thing is totally going to pay off for them and they'll be living high on the hog and shitting in cotton right there on easy street. And, of course, being the brainwash-conditioned, credulous simpletons that they are, they believe it.

So, yeah, they vote in every election, while people that want to work for a living or have jobs that require a lot of their time don't vote as often.

Rinse. Repeat.

For 60 years.

Ta-da!
