First, we were told that we needed to stay home so hospitals would not be overrun. Then we were told we must stay home in order to "flatten the curve". Now, it's stay at home "Because I said so!" What we're seeing is the logical manifestation of a government that believes it knows best, damn it, and you'll like it. Government knows better than you how to spend your money, where your kids should go to school, how you should prepare for your retirement, and a myriad of other decisions that you're too stupid to figure out. The highest form of elitism is modern liberalism, and it's on full display during this hoax. The country has quarantined an entire population rather than those at risk because, well, we must treat everyone "equally". As of 2 hours ago, New York City reported 12,509 deaths with 0 being school age kids. In RI, 233 deaths, 0 school age kids. So we MUST close the schools, wear ear masks, and shut down a thriving economy because a small number of at-risk people might get sick. And if they do, there's a very slim chance that they might die. In the general population in RI, there's currently a two-one hundredth's chance of death. That's one person in every 4300, with virtually all being elderly nursing home residents. Every death matters, and my condolences to families. But this has reached a point of absurdity.
