I wish more people would be open to discussion and not down vote. I feel allowing everyone to be able to voice opinions and facts is important. I love coming to this community as I get a different take on what is happening in the world but I also don’t want only one side without an adequate discussion.
Here’s my take on this virus. I do believe there is a virus (developed by China? Maybe. Spread on purpose? Could be). But what I also know for a fact is a population must be exposed to a disease and 65% must get it to create true herd immunity. Sticking everyone in their homes in hopes it disappears is ridiculous. We’re told it’s to slow things down but in most areas of the country nothing is happening. So are we to be quarantined for ever?
I still don’t understand why our government has shut down our entire economy for this? I personally stayed home for over two weeks but now must venture out to feed my large family and literally can’t buy enough in one trip due to limits. So now I must go out multiple times a week. At first I was angry but now I’ve decided I’m done complying and will go about my life as usual (well as much as can).
I definitely agree with a lot of this. I'm struggling to understand the response as well, even when accounting for the severity of the virus, given the economic repercussions. It's tough to reconcile any of the theories I've been hearing, given that I personally trust Trump, think he understands and knows far more than the rest of us, and wouldn't enact economy-destroying measures unless he believed there was good reason to do so. I'm honestly starting to wonder if there's something far more serious going on between us and China -- not just the virus -- that's coming into play with the responses and measures Trump is taking.
