If you thought any part of "15 days to flatten the curve" was where these little wannabe dictators would stop with your freedoms, you should be embarrassed.

We have chosen chaos and misinformation as our nation’s pandemic plan. The numbers tell the tale.
It will get worse.
We lack the presidential leadership and discipline of the American people to start anew, get the nationwide positivity rate to about 1%, and then proceed safely.
Such leadership requires highly effective messaging and communication skills, to convince the American people that a short term freeze actually is the best plan protect the economy, get the kids back in school, and not run up trillions in debt. The strong measures worked in NY, NJ, CT, Massachusetts and are paying dividends now.
The rest of the nation was encouraged to mock the lockdown, and re-open prematurely at full throttle because “no one should fuck with our liberties.” And here we are ... paying the piper.
It is up to local leadership (and schools) to navigate the minefield. The “will of the people” will control.
Sadly, we are a largely self-absorbed people who don’t really give a shit if other countrymen suffer and die.

If we want to knock out the virus and re-open the economy by October, we need a real shutdown.
But since this country is incapable of doing this, we’ll settle for sky-high unemployment, enormous aid packages, hundreds of daily deaths, and a fall without college football.
Yeah, the left is so screwy.

Well, Germany got a real shutdown, got a huge clampdown on the virus with great numbers, and they are in the same frigging place we are.

Cannot find unemployment numbers, but I am sure they are similar.
My point was not about deaths, but that even with a full lockdown football was not happening.

It didn't work last time. It won't work a second time. And no way in hell it would ever last "6 weeks." You people would want to hold out and destroy until November. Then, re-open only under ridiculous communist rules.
No thanks.
After all, many “scientists” signed a letter that social justice protests were OK, no masks or distancing required. These same guys have written studies that say only despicable, evil reopening protests or Trump rallies actually spread the disease. The righteousness of the social justice stuff apparently extends a protective cloud over everyone, except those bastard cops with their truncheons.
Places that shut down are getting back to normal.

lockdown isn’t practical. We had the chance and blew it.
