Waiting for things to get better, will not make things better

[BubberMiley]

Surely you realize the horror show of practically everybody getting it at once would be worse. The death rate would be astronomical because practically no one would get any treatment.

This is why anti-maskers are so dangerously stupid.

I am all for people wearing masks, social distancing, staying home when they have symptoms. These are common sense measures that hurt no one. If we had started with twice as many cases in the first month, that would mean 4 people per hospital. This is manageable, and would rapidly decline. To me the horror is locking people who need life saving treatments out of hospitals, watching them die, and believing we have done the right thing. To me the horror is instead of providing our children with the tools to prepare them for the future, we lock them out of their schools. To me the horror is isolating our seniors, leaving them feeling abandoned and dying loneliness. To me the horror is a federal government that has borrowed $300 billion dollars with plans to borrow an additional $200 in the coming year, a total of half the debt we accumulated in the first 153 years as a nation. By putting the brakes on the economy at the same time, there is no hope of paying it back for generations, especially since we are headed in the wrong direction. If you think the hospitals are stressed now, wait until the government has to severely cut their funding, because  debt repayment will consume so much of government funding. The crisis has damaged our sense of community.  People we used to greet on the street,  and wish them well are now threats of disease. Anti maskers harass people on the streets for wearing a mask and supporters of the restrictions harass those that will not wear a mask. We should be better than that.
