I saw in the news last night that thousands of people had rented a huge Beverly Hills Mansion to have a party. One dead, four others injured in Los Angeles mansion party shooting |
To which "facts" do you refer? Of course, Covid-19 is not a hoax. It's a serious epidemic and needs to be taken seriously. Reasonable people should exercise responsible and reasonable care to reduce the risk off contracting and/or spreading the virus.
That said, what we've seen in America over the last five months has been neither reasonable nor responsible. As the "facts" continue to change, the shotgun approach(s) proffered by Fauci, and often implemented as law, have been draconian. Worse, dissenting medical opinions, and that's exactly what they are, from both "sides," have been ridiculed and ignored, pretty much like anyone who disagrees with the religion of global warming.
So -
Should thinking, responsible people exercise discression when engaging with others, especially strangers? Of course we should.
Should businesses, open to the public but not "deemed essential" (by whom?) be forces out of business, and their employees lose their jobs? I think not.
Should we surrender our liberty while we "wait for a vaccine?" Not me.
