Well, the people are not going to accept whatever you want to do. Locking down for years until either the virus is no longer lethal or a vaccine is widely available just isn’t feasible. This is at least the sixth time I have told you this.

With red states being dipshits with them reopening, The stakes are too high for easing (Just look at Texas), We need this virus to be completely eradicated for things to return to normal.

Reopening needs to be a slow process. We can’t stay closed forever, but we also shouldn’t reopen everything at once. Most states are doing it like this. And since it’d be more difficult for places like beaches or theme parks to maintain and enforce social distancing guidelines, places like that should be the last ones to reopen.

To help speed up reopening the governor has put in place a mask requirement for indoor public spaces.
 
And people are still complaining.
 
 
Putting on a mask is literally one of the easiest things you can do. It takes like 2 seconds, and is not in any way a burden.
 
Listen, you ingrates, its either this or bringing back the lockdown. And this is way, way easier to handle.

The End wasn't The End - Found a new home after the great exodus of 2012

In Vino Veritas
A recent meta-review by 538 shows that a majority of Americans still believe and trust scientists and experts over other sources. In fact, the polls show a marked uptick that has occurred over the last few years.
 
A separate spate of studies show that mask usage is becoming widespread, and that it is having a major effect on the spread of the virus.
 
This all goes to show that if selfish idiots would pull their heads out of their asses for 10 minutes we likely wouldn’t be in this mess.
