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.

To everyone who wants freedom to choose, a choice of risking death or having unemployment or insurance cut off is no choice. If you aren't fighting for people to make that choice, you don't give one shit about freedom of choice. Don't be hypocrites.

People rather watch people suffer than show humanity.

“We’re not going to pay the bills of the working people (just Wall Street), and so you have the choice to either work and possibly die of COVID or not to work and then possibly die of homelessness, car loss, hunger and exposure to more COVID”. Yep. People of America, pick one😡

Maybe give everyone a big mansion to live in as well

I can’t believe the cruelty, the insanity, of this. I figure to be at home until there’s treatment or a vaccine. I’m in the “vulnerable “ population; “They” May find my death acceptable collateral damage, but I don’t!
This is not about the economy. This is about saving capitalism. #fuckthem

@marwilliamson I respect your thoughts, but disagree on this one. We need to open up the country as the #BillOfRights is being violated, namely #FreedomOfAssembly The US Constitution is especially important in times of uncertainty, war, and poverty. #coronavirus #EndtheLockdown
