What? Of course not, that’s the whole point.


That doesn't add up with your claim that it was here early and no one noticed.

No, we don't have to go into financial ruin to save lives
Hate to tell you this, but we're more than halfway there already, on a macro level. Not talking about you or I personally, but the economy as a whole has taken a pretty savage hit. The longer we turn our head to that, the worse it's going to be. It's like people hear that, and they're so flippant about it. It's like a dad lecturing his teenage daughter about spending money that she thinks is coming from a limitless bank account, and she's rolling her eyes as he's trying to explain the concept to her that it's not limitless.

We have an UE rate that is bordering on levels seen during the Great Depression and we reached it in 1/10th of the time.

Yet, people still think it is some big joke and isn’t important enough to put as the number one priority.

Right. It's completely glossed over when brought up, as though it's not an important point. It is THE point to consider right now. It is what exists now, and will exist long after this virus comes and goes.

That’s not a claim that it was here in January... that is a fact. And case numbers are directly correlated with testing, the more people tested, the more positive cases.

The point is that Lung cancer is controllable just like my decision to or not to social distance, or wear a mask, or gloves or shelter in place.

Wanna reduce your chances of getting lung cancer? Don’t smoke.
Wanna reduce your chances of getting covid? Shelter in place

Both are under your control and you don’t need the government to tell you
