That was the reason for the lockdown, but people have forgotten that. Mission accomplished, now it is time to move on.

We have a different goal here in the villages.
It’s keep your name off of a park bench.
Stop trying to sell this “goal achieved” thing and suggest we should be “moving on”. We are not at a green light.
look at the Revised death toll estimates
The president just up’d his death toll estimates 2x to 120k. The CDC along with some wiz MIT Modeler think 261k by august.
the Governor Recently said 85% of the deaths in this state were over 65. The average age in TV is around 72.
Let individuals here make their own decisions, you shouldn’t be encouraging anything.
