It's not just about us
 
Yes, we need to be prudent and observe reasonable precautions to avoid a worsening spread COVOD-19. At the same time, we need to recognize that there are significant health and mortality costs in maintaining a strict stay at home regimen. Here are some of those:[LIST][*]There is an increase of opoid deaths Opioid Deaths Surge During Coronavirus In America’s Overdose Capitals[LIST][*]Pediatricians are seeing a drastic reduction in appointments, meaning many children are missing vaccinations for diseases that are serious and sometimes fatal.
