Kind of hard to take someone seriously about opening up the country during a pandemic that’s supposedly been defeated when nobody is allowed near him without a temperature check and a test for the virus
If the President of the United States can’t walk into the same room with someone who hasn’t been screened for COVID-19, how are Americans supposed to feel safe going about their daily lives with no readily available tests and no expert personal medical staff on immediate call?
I’m not an economist, but wouldn’t it have made more sense to just take the financial hit in the short run, keep lockdown going, contain the pandemic to an acceptable degree and then open up the country—maybe even in plenty of time for Election Day, if that’s the concern?
It’s been less than two months and people are ready to risk their lives for a pedicure, but the person telling them not to worry and go get one has a mobile virology lab following him around and some of the finest physicians in the country waiting in the wings in case he coughs.
You know, I’m starting to think maybe none of this makes any sense at all
