I'm trying to understand the mentality that we have to re-open now. Why not pass legislation that provides money for workers who cannot work right now, something akin to a Universal Basic Income? Yes, it will involve having to reorganize the budget and spend less on the military or other such programs, but we're in an emergency.

bc this admin/congress would rather people die than to be proven wrong about basic assumptions of government and business

to SFLA's point we stand zero chance of talking the virus into being less contagious and deadly - but that's about the same chance of convincing some current political leaders that people's health should be 1st priority

the virus/stay at home mandate is not a economy killer, it is a killer for THIS economy - the virus can't be made to change, the only thing we CAN change is the economy - but we won't - at least until the Fall
