The numbers don't show that at all. Not for the virus, anyway. What they do show is that economies and people's lives are being ruined financially. And that is the reason why you should have the option for what you want to do. If you want to stay home, socially distance, etc....you probably SHOULD be doing that. Especially if you're at risk. But if you need to take the chance of opening your business, because if you don't, your kids starve, then you SHOULD have that option as well.
We're long enough into this to where most people should be educated by now on the facts. They aren't, because the media sucks and most people are complete morons. But this has been in our laps for 2 months now. If you're old, have respiratory issues, immunity issues, etc, and haven't gotten it, STAY HOME and don't let anyone near you who might be going out. That's your choice, and you should be playing it that way. But if you're 34 and in perfect health and you own a small business, you should be able to open that business in order to support your family. If it goes bankrupt because too many people stay home and you can't generate the revenue needed to keep your doors open, that sucks, but it's life. It's a risk of business. But having to shut your doors and go broke because the government told me that I CANNOT open, that's simply bull**** and should not be accepted.
