I’m in Britain where we’re still in full lockdown and it is pissing me off. The massive hit to the economy and ruining the entire summer is not worth it just to protect old and sick people who would die anyway. It’s time to end the social distancing and lockdown.
I'm all for old and sick people not dying, the part that doesn't make sense is the vulnerable group of people probably wouldn't get life saving medical care if they needed it in normal times. A 90 year old with severe pneumonia wouldn't pass their "cost/benifit" stuff and they basically let you die. Now the same people that created these policies suddenly care so much about old people? Sheep gonna be sheep I guess.
The point of closing everything was to slow the spread long enough so our hospitals wouldnt get overwhelmed. We are passed the curve there is no reason why the economy needs to stay closed. If you are at risk stay home! The rest of us healthy people need to go to work so we can feed ourselves!
Y'know I'm not normally online that much but with nothing to do I've been spending more time, and that exact argument is copied and pasted all over the place. It's almost like they're feeding people the arguments they're supposed to have.
Most political arguments you hear are literally 2 people parroting what the news told them to each other. This is the same thing. I don't believe this stay at home stuff is about a virus.
It's about the election. Mail in voting benefits the Democrats so that's why they are dragging their entire state through this hell losing hundreds of small businesses yet they are for the people.
I'm glad I live in wisconsin and as soon as our governor tried to pull that shit our state senate voided his decree.
Elections are staged anyway. Politics is like wrestling, they put on a pre-planned show for the audience and all go out and drink together afterwards.
The anti-quarantine protests are fake, they're being set up by big political donors. All they're accomplishing is making people who are against the quarantine look stupid and selfish, getting a haircut isn't the first thing on anyone's mind right now.
You gotta think who's benefitting from this. They're obviously trying to stretch this out as long as possible, whenever we meet the "End" date they move the goalposts and extend this whole thing. People are kept scared so they want to stay home while "Close buisinesses until we can set up hospitals" turns into "We closed the additional hospitals we set up, stay inside or you'll die" Wal Mart and Amazon are making lots of extra money now, there are some very rich people with a very invested interest in keeping the fear campaign going.
Is now the time to stop the “social distancing” and “Wearing masks”?

Im sure the Coronials will remember that when you are old and potentially sick. They will toss you aside like you toss the elderly out now.
