With respect to Covid-19, two truths have emerged:
1. Nobody knows a goddamned thing
2. Everybody is suddenly an expert
Hey, the NBA locked it down and nipped this in bud! Thus, we can just have 'bubbles' (which just means "groups") of family and friends quarantine for three weeks and we will get this solved in no time!
Why didn't anybody think of this before?!?!? This sort of reminds me of when libertarians figure out that twelve of them seem to be able to coexist on a solely voluntary basis, with no taxes or welfare or any other program needed, thus American society can function in the same way! I mean, this NBA thing is totally scalable to 330 million people!
When people do not think realistically, they are usually crestfallen. He too lapses into comparisons to 1942 America. That's gone. That isn't coming back. Give up your illusions.
Some of his stuff might not work here. Most of what the rest of the world is doing would.

He's approaching this from a perspective that the virus must be slowed down artificially. Sweden did none of this stuff and they're already out of it.
Another Liberal pussy?

reopening and enforced universal masking and closing of places where large numbers gather closely, schools could easily open.
It's not 1942. Our culture has radically changed, mostly for the worse. Americans are not going to shut down like that and we don't have enough police to enforce such a lockdown. Thus you have what we saw in the news today, where Indiana authorities announced they would not enforce the mandatory mask order from the governor.
Some of you really need to get a grip and think realistically.

be eliminated. it will be around forever. Just as there were spikes in diseases a few years ago when parents stopped with the normal childhood vaccinations, covid will be with us. The debate now is how we choose to live with Covid until a vaccine is uncovered.
or it can be around us to the point that people have to be sent home to die like in Texas. Our choice. With selfish asswipes like you, it’s the latter. Now run along and infect yer neighbors.
