It is hard to know if "they don't care at all about how long we are shut down or what it does to this country and the ramifications of that happening." I would say that their main focus is to guide people to do the things that will keep them alive. Many people are conflicted because of this very complex and not easily solved problem. I believe that the numbers people, the ones we turn to for economic advice, who clearly see that continued shut down will put the world in an economic downturn that none of us have seen in this lifetime, those people who know this...……...MOST of them still very much care that opening up the businesses again is going to spread the virus and cause death to those who are vulnerable. Sometimes, there are no clear answers or solutions to problems. There are few people who are entirely bad or good. People are too often vilifying innocent people and grasping at rumors and believing conspiracy theories because this very real pandemic it is not something that is easily fixed or perhaps even fixable.
