Jury's still out on "acceptable," but what a chilling truth. This is the purple elephant in the room. I believe the nation has concluded that sacrificing more lives to the virus serves the greater good of saving the economy and our way of life, as tragic as that is. But nobody has actually articulated it that way yet as far as I know. Clearly a challenging time to be alive. I for one never thought our government would ever be faced with such a ghastly choice.

As Louisiana Senator John Kennedy said the other day, "we can't burn down the village to save it."
