I will take your silence as advocating people stay home so that NO ONE dies of this virus. I have to ask, do you have bills to pay? Or are you living off public assistance, or off a trust fund? I cannot imagine anyone with rent or mortgage to pay, anyone needing to work to put food on the table to feed family or self, waiting for the number of death to be zero in order to resume life.

People die of car accidents every year, we are still riding cars and still buying cars.

People die of diabetes every year. I have not seen the purchase of sugar made illegal yet.

Obesity (not starvation) is killing people every year. When should we start requiring mandatory exercise and moderate eating for the general population?

Why is that? Please think critically, why is humble Tamil Nadu in Poor India having just 71 deaths? Look at our diet. Every single meal is an Immunization Boost. 8-10 vegetables are mixed up and eaten per day, plus Lemon, Turmeric, Tamarind, Herbs, Garlic, Lycopene rich food, HIgh ORAC[Oxygen Receiving ability] food like Cinnamon, CLove, Ginger, Black Pepper Meringo etc are consumed DAILY.
Not kidding, DAILY consumed as a soup in every meal even by the poorest. They call it "Rasam", Brits call it "Mulagatwany Soup".

It heals from any Virus, even COVID-19.

In western country, they eat meat. The environment is clean, so the immune system is not overactive unlike India. Covid-19 eats meat and tigers. Hence I encourage plant based diets when I heard whats going on . Rasam, a soup has turmeric in it as key ingredient. Ofcourse tamarind is a natural cleanser of debris in intenstine. A healthy gut is absolute for immunity. Yogurt should be used to cleanse guts once a while or even with castor oil.

Doctors say to expect more of the covid-related syndrome that's making children sick.

"This multisystem inflammatory syndrome is not directly caused by the virus"

Contrast this with the deliberate, intentional, planned, purposeful killing of 40,000,000, 40 million estimated children killed by democrat baby killers.

These people don't seem to realize that's the quickest way to get us back into full lock-down: crowd places, get a lot of people sick (potentially), including the workers. If they want their favourite places to stay open, they will (should) be careful. Or will this be a case of lock-down going into effect again, and those with guns turn up and actually shoot people? Are they looking to go down in history, as the people who shot a governor, or others who insisted that they just stay six feet away from others? That they wear a mask in a store, to keep others safe? Do you think history will look favourably upon them?

SOUTH KOREA REOPENING:

“The weekend before last, a 29-year-old South Korean man visited five nightclubs in Seoul, where he partied with around 7,200 other people. Five days later — on the same day South Korea relaxed social distancing measures — he tested positive for Covid-19, becoming the country’s first local infection in four days.

“According to South Korean health officials, nearly 80 new Covid-19 cases have been linked to the man’s outing in the Itaewon neighborhood. And on Monday, officials announced 35 new confirmed infections— the highest total in about a month — of which 29 may have originated from those five nightclubs.

“As a result, Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon on Saturday ordered all bars and clubs indefinitely closed. “Carelessness can lead to an explosion in infections,” he said.

This means South Korea, one of the world’s top examples for how to combat the coronavirus, may soon become the poster child for the dangers of reopening a country.

“As soon as you let your foot off the brake, cases of this highly contagious coronavirus will take off, even in countries like South Korea,” Dr. Dena Grayson, a physician and pandemics expert, told me.”

Politics and screaming lunatics aside, you have your re-open crowd and you have your stay-at-home crowd. Generally speaking, of course, most people have a fairly strong opinion either way.

The stay-at-home people believe in taking the pandemic very seriously, and it usually helps if they have a living situation which isn't too much at odds with lockdown orders to begin with (i.e. they already worked from home/their job now allows them to work from home, they have food and comfortable living conditions, etc).

Those who want to re-open the economy and lift the orders seem to see the negative effects of the lockdown as far outweighing any possible threat from the virus. In my friends list, it usually means people in rural areas, not yet heavily affected by illness. The general consensus is that problems like loss of wages, lack of food access, missed rent, businesses going bankrupt, shops permanently closing, poverty and pending homelessness, are all more dangerous than the illness. (Also, in a more vague sense, some talk of possible depression and/or suicide rates going up.)
It is a pretty callous stance for stay-at-homers to just casually dismiss every single one of these realistic and practical concerns. As if anyone who wants to re-open is an ignorant, financially driven, ******* .
It is equally insensitive for re-openers to pompously flaunt their misplaced bravado in the face of a very serious threat, and belittle and ridicule those who feel they are doing the right thing to keep those they love safe and alive, by following the necessary orders.

Here's the thing though: you shouldn't have to pick a side and fight and yell at the other side, telling them how ignorant and delusional they are. The government should have the ability to solve both of those problems simultaneously.

The entire reason for a government's existence in any society is to solve problems and protect their citizens in an emergency situation. Sometimes this means military defense, sometimes it means gathering and stockpiling vital resources, natural disaster relief, etc. In this case, it means protection from the illness and the security of life's necessities, while the battle is ongoing. This is the system's primary job at the moment, the very definition of its function, and it is failing miserably.

If a government only works well when everything is running smoothly, but falls apart during an emergency situation, then you have to wonder 'what are you actually here for, exactly?'
So now, as citizens of the same inept government, we have to fight and argue with one another over what to do, because the government has put us in a position where too many people have to make a choice between living in crushing poverty or dying from an illness.

The answer to the problem can be seen in other countries that are not failing their people: You stay at home and guess what? None of those other bad things happen to you. Rent and mortgages are frozen, you continue to receive wages, you will not be fired, your business will still be there when it's all over, free food is delivered to your door, if you get sick you will receive your care at no cost to you, government services are in place to assist you and your neighbors, so that a very effective lockdown can happen and the infection rate drops very quickly. You still have your home, job, food, car, etc. and the efficiency of the quarantine means you spent a few weeks inside instead of depressing and endless months. Now, orders can be relaxed because the remaining infected have been identified and quarantined and strict testing infrastructure is in place to help keep it from a resurgence.

These things aren't happening in the U.S. because every system that could help make it happen has been stripped, dismantled, and defunded so that those tax payer dollars could be funneled right into various private bank accounts. There simply is no money to do what needs to be done.

For decades and decades the amount of your tax money available to this country for emergencies and necessary life-saving programs has dwindled, and dwindled, and dwindled.... while the bulk of that lost money has been shifted straight up to the highest of the elite, where they sit on it and put it in tax free accounts in other countries, hoarding it and never putting it back into the country. It's a slow and steady siphoning effect that has sucked the country dry and is now literally killing people.

Look at the wage gap. Look at the trillions in debt the country is now in. Look at the poverty level and the unemployment. Even in the best of times over the last few decades, most jobs couldn't even pay a living wage. The general populus makes less and less, while the stock market goes up and any programs or systems put in place to help the average person are killed and that money goes straight to corporate contracts and subsidies.

So, now what happens when there is a crisis? SORRY. We don't have the money. It's not there when we need it. Why? Not sure exactly, maybe ask Boeing... or Amazon... or your bank. Well, we can go further in debt and borrow a metric **** ton of money for a stimulus bill to keep the economy happy but, GUESS WHAT?!? Most of that is going to those same corporations and you get a few scraps, but not much else. We have to keep big business happy over any other concern. That's what's best for everyone, right?

SORRY, there are no systems in place to help, we killed those. Unnecessary. There is no money, a handful of people have most of that now and they don't seem too eager to give any of it back.
Because the government couldn't perform even its most basic function, (preparing for an emergency and protecting its citizens when there was one) now we have to fight amongst one another over who is right: those who love poverty or those who love illness.

We're so busy fighting each other, we don't bother turning back around to the government and saying "Hold on now... What the actual **** ?!?"

I believe instead of burying these bodies, they should cremate them . We must up the efficiency of such facilities. Morgues in hospitals are too crowded.

These beach goers should party if they feel they will not burden society after their death. There is no dignity in death even if you are given a emperors farewell. All religion of the world has proved false. Change is the new normal.
