Actually, half the deaths are in NYC, an area in which people were not observing precautions.
My backwash state has 3k dead, and I assure you, people are not observing precautions as they should.
Of the 3k dead, 2k are in nursing homes. 2k.
I'm not suggesting this disease isn't dangerous. I'm suggesting the level of danger is unknown and may not be terribly high if people observe precautions.
I have not at all and never would support the rubes who argue we should be out co-mingling closely. They are fools. And the Fox people who argue for that kind of change are putting people in harm's way.
But I know that taking a middle position, simply being a cautious skeptic, doesn't fit the "red v. blue argument" people like to have about this stuff.
As I read you equating me with a Fox person, which I'm clearly not, which if you're honest you'll admit, in another screen, every right wing Fox person I know is sending me links to some conspiracy movie called
Plandemic.
And you wonder why I see 1:1 with Taibbi about how politics is ruining everything?
I'm in the middle. It'd be nice if you'd credit me that. I'm not against you. I wear masks, I assiduously observe distancing protocols, and I have nothing but contempt for the insane protestors.
But I also have contempt for the people who won't engage a discussion about how we can cautiously reopen. Yelling, "You'll endanger lives!" in reply to every attempt to reopen cautiously is stupid. The people who so argue are morons, or fear addled idiots. It's all emotion over reality, panic hormones over pragmatic thinking.
