The answer is not to reopen the economy; it's to freeze the economy. The government should provide everyone with the economic wherewithal to survive this period without leaving home. It's criminal to make people have to choose between their livelihood and their health.

No. It's criminal to FORCE them to choose, maam. Some do not choose unemployment.

The choice is ultimately in "we the people". It's called FREEDOM!!

Marianne, have you looked at Sweden? Why can't we do what Sweden is doing? They are achieving herd immunity in the process—unlike the rest of the world.

Beware of the socialists that keep saying “we are here to help you, it’s for your own good, trust us, let capitalism die and just let the govt take care of you”

You seem to be suffering under the delusion that the government is actually capable of creating wealth. Only gainful economic activity by the productive sector can do that. The only thing that government is capable of doing is sponging off the industry of its people.
Think for a second, the numbers across the world show a mortality rate of less than 1% and this person is saying let’s destroy our society and the economy. This isn’t what is best, it is their world vision and they see this as the golden opportunity to make you their bitch.

Idiotic statement of the day goes to.... have you even paid attention to what is going on? States are open and numbers have plummeted. It's over so please stop pushing this rhetoric.
