Yes, I get it. But they've moved the goal posts, otherwise they'd have us open again. The original objective, we were told, was to "flatten the curve" we knew this meant so the hospitals could be prepared and not overrun at one time. We've done that. They didn't even need all the precautionary measures we put in place. The USS Comfort only had 189 patients. Tent hospitals across the country were never needed. Clearly, our medical system is able to handle patients right now and yet, still shut down. So it went from flattening the curve objective, to slowing the spread. Well, now some places like Virginia, are talking about TWO YEARS of this. They are basically now saying we can't treat our neighbors like they are disposable (MN Gov) and we are selfish if we aren't staying inside or social distancing because no one should die again.
Two years? That's insane. If the virus turns out to be completely horrifying, one can consider such measures (or, preferably, other measures that are not extremely vulnerable to exploitation). But saying two years without extreme evidence that everyone agrees 100% upon is insane, and locking down fully is not viable for anything but an extremely short period of time.
A lot of people and organizations on the left and in the deep state seem to exploit this to the extreme.
It is as if they wanted the virus to spread as much as possible early on, such as with:
Several Democrat politicians holding rallies in Chinatowns such as with https://i.maga.host/M4Zidha.jpg , Nancy Pelosi, and others
Leftists (and maybe even the WHO) raging against Trump's travel ban against China in late January and as I recall Trump's ban against Europe in February.
And then, once the virus has spread to the USA, exploit it to its fullest and pretend they were not on "team spread-it-everywhere".
Even a few days ago, when Nancy Pelosi claimed that Trump's travel ban against China was not sufficient, a reporter asked whether she supported some form of travel ban against China, and as I recall, she did not quite want to answer that question....................
