    We should have never closed it..Do you realize there are now reports of people getting this and not even being aware of it..once everything is said and done this will have adversly affected .0001 percent of the population. This response would have been appropriate for the plague..E

    We never should have closed it in the first place, this is such an over-hyped media driven pile of excrement.

    There are also many people becoming very ill, and many people dying.
    The reason it hasn't affected more people is because of the measures being taken.
    People keep comparing this to the flu. Well the flu is estimated to kill between 24000 and 62000 people from Oct 1 2019 to Apr 4 2020 in the US, that's seven months.
    Covid-19 has killed already killed over 40000 in the US from Feb 29 2020 to Apr 20 2020. That is just over 1.5 months.
    It isn't the flu!

    You're 100% correct, it isn't the flu..But my point is it's not the plague either, and to put 30% of the US population into unemployement lines (1,000,000,000) to protect the .001 percent that are going to have a hard time with this is ridiculous. We could have saved many lives by saying "this may kill you if you already have a problem, do not go to work". We will look back and say..man, we closed the f'n country, put 1/3 of the US out of work. passed a bill to pay almost all of them anyway, then said any CoronaVirus medical will be covered but the governement". That's the day the Benie Supporters got socialized health care passed. E

    Re: SHOULD WE REOPEN AMERICA?

    I don't think we should have completely shut down the economy, partly because of the raw statistics proving economy shuttering doesn't work to prevent COVID-19 spread. My case in point:

    Top Israeli prof claims simple stats show virus plays itself out after 70 days | The Times of Israel


    It doesn't matter if the economy is shut down or not, 70 days and the virus plays itself out, as long as social distancing is followed. This makes the most sense to me and I'd even go as far as everyone wearing masks or face coverings but keep working instead of the shutdown. In the long run, I think the shutdown will be far worse than the pandemic itself, once all the fallout of people committing suicide, domestic violence, mental health issues as a direct result of the shutdown because of job losses, etc.

    As a general consensus the elderly and the overly stressed citizens (immuno compromised) are at the greatest risk of dying from Covid-19.

    What age groups of citizens controls the government,financials, etc of each country? The aged ruling class.
    Who do you concieve is saving their own @ss from the boogie-man. The aged ruling class.

    The ruling class shut down the entire world incase the working class get to close,the ruling class might catch a cold.
    Eeeew, get those grubby little working class trolls away. Put them in a box somewhere. Tell the grubby little sods to stay indoors away from us ruling class. We don't want our own manmade diseases attacking us, Eeeeew!!!.

    Re: SHOULD WE REOPEN AMERICA?

    IMHO it shouldn't have been..

    but a lot of the 'shut downs' were dem/liberal Governors that have freaked out..

    even here in NC .. Cooper like most have TRIED to make Church services.. gun/ammo sale/1st Amendment FREE Speech and the right to peacebly gather/protest EVEN WHILE practicing distancing/masks... he got shot down in most cases....

    there WILL be a peaceable protest EVERY Tuesday from NOW until he pulls back the demands of WE the PEOPLE of NC. ( and yes SOME of us will be exercising our 2A Rights also.

    Re: SHOULD WE REOPEN AMERICA?

    It has just occured to me...
    Every one should quietly get up early tomorrow morning, make a cup of coffee, eat a bit of toast, smile, kiss the missus, a quick hug to the kids. An say see you this afternoon, and head off to work. Wave to the neighbours heading out to work.

    There's absolutely no requirement to song-an-dance protest in the streets. No need to proclaim human rights to the corp-gods up there in those imaginary castles-in-the-sky. Nobody lives high up there in those castles in the sky. Take sole responsibility for yourself, an head off to work happy, cheery an reclaim your natural birth rights to walk your life path by divine god-given right...

    When everyone gets to work, tell the boss/manager you're too old to be here at work, go home into clean-room isolation until the covid bug is over. If the boss/manager is stupid an he/she dieds from Covid-bug, too bad!. They get replaced with a newer immune resistant model. Life goes on...

    Peacefully methodically make a statement to the corp-gods, its your problem not ours. You elderly folk stay home in contained isloation an deal with your own issues. The concerned working class people are going back to work...

    When people feel the time is right, peacefully reclaim our god-given right to life as though nothing had changed...
