People are so ready to get back to life forgetting that in 1918 the second wave of the Spanish Flu reportedly killed 20-50 million. The first wave only killed 3-5 million. History does indeed repeat.
Many will allow the goverment propaganda them right into (sick).
That’s the “conspiracy”.

The hurry up and open plan is focused on making money and not saving lives. We live in a country where states ARE NOT controlled by border police and since travel is not banned, those “can’t even get out of the gate” people like New York can travel to the Phase 3 areas without https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❌" title="Cross mark" aria-label="Emoji: Cross mark">
Unless there is mandatory testing and temperature checks at all airports then the spread will continue at a rapid pace. The idea of “let’s just try it and if the numbers increase then we’ll go back to social distancing,” is problematic because those “numbers” are REAL people.
If you peel back the layers of what what many people are saying, there’s less general concern about the physical health of themselves and fellow citizens and more fear surrounding the uncertainty/health of their bank accounts during this crisis.
This is what life has come to in this country for many, we are so overburdened by debt and controlled by some of the worst worker protections in modern history, that hundreds of thousands if not millions of people are willing to work themselves to death to “get free”.
As this push to “reopen” happens, pay attention to:
A: red/blue divides
B: urban/rural divides
C: city/surrounding town divides (large driver)
D: urban county/surrounding county divides
E: equipped to work from home after reopening and protect families/hyper-exposed divides

Once it starts hitting under-accessed/resourced rural communities (and it will), it will be interesting to see how it plays out regarding susceptibility to death of black, brown, and yes, white people in those same communities.
Let’s be clear, 700 people a day in the US die from poverty and low wealth. But 4,500 in one day died from COVID-19 alone. What this administration is doing right now, including inciting the cult to protest stay-at-home orders is insane and will lead to more senseless deaths.
But this is crazy, and I’m learning a lot about people.
3% mortality rate < open up the economy
"Who cares about preventable death when the entire world is put on hold and money isnt being made?"
"Vaccinations? Psht.. I’m not going to get one anyway, so what does it matter?"

While not completely articulated, some of the protest is coming from clearly economically insecure people who are scared to death, desperate for a return to normal because they can’t handle the uncertainty of relying on an already unreliable government to “protect” them.
