it cracks me up that everyone and their dog has a pretty strong opinion about all this
It's 100% selfish. On both sides, to be honest. My liberal friends want to virtue signal. I just want to be able to go back to the gym. Abstract notions of people's lives and livelihoods aren't things that our lizard brains are very good at considering thoughtfully.
I think the choice comes down to: would the economy continue to hurt more people by continuing a downward spiral, or would the Kung flu hurt more if we reopened?
Personally I think the more vulnerable should be taking extra precautions, but for the most part they should let people work. Maybe places like NY shouldn't yet.
