So does influenza.
We don’t shut down the country for the flu.
I completely agree with you. I think the political response has been an absolute disaster from many states; particularly ones run by Democrats. Far from being helpful, they’ve destroyed the economy, ruined lives, driven families into poverty, and some (like Cuomo) have caused deaths with policies like forcing nursing homes to accept known-infected patients.
I agree the response is terrible, but the problem does actually exist. Claiming it’s all sunshine and roses out there right now defies observable reality.
