So the good, safe and civilized values are being suppressed...while "the sky is falling" values are being shoved down our throat. Easy peasy.

OR...we could realize that we as the older population have the option to lay low until a vaccine comes and turn our head when people who are not as much at risk resume their lives. There is another REAL issue; the economy.
We cannot forever dole people out. The economy was booming, everyone who wanted one had jobs, due in at least part to the embargos on China and the tax cuts to big business allowing them to return to American soil to be competitive and engender thousands of jobs to people who then fuel the economy and then taxes don't have to raised for ANYBODY. The economy and big business are not BAD words. They put food on the table and buy health insurance.
I do so love thriving capitalism, even though I very much believe we are having a Pandemic.
There is NO easy answer and sometimes no answer at all for problems. When you get old enough, that wisdom hits you.
