That's absurd. Nobody is talking about lock downs for months or years.
The solution is easy: Mandate Masks. This is easy, effective and inexpensive and can be implemented immediately.
If masks are mandated, more people would go out and spend money and help revive the economy.
What about keeping the kids out of public schools this coming year - starting in about seven weeks - which would require one parent in most cases to quit their job, depriving their family of about 50% of their family income, which is financially not possible for the vast majority of these families. This would also necessarily be combined with a broader lock-down of the entire nation, if you people had your way.
You may not like to hear it referred to as a "lockdown," but that is the common term that is used to describe this policy preference now.
So by supporting this, you guys are choosing to mandate cutting household income by an average of at around 50% as a result of requiring at least one parent (assuming they have two) to stay home with the kids indefinitely and not work. Yeah, that is going to go over well.
This is going to be a key issue over the next month. In Texas, the TEA has already issued preliminary guidelines for sending kids back to school this fall, so Texas is on track to have the kids in school.
Many families are just not going to be able to do this. Regardless of how politically clever the Democrat left thinks this is - locking everyone down in their homes, shutting down the economy, killing tens of millions of jobs and requiring many parents to just quit their jobs as a result of not having the schools in session - this is just not going to be a practical approach to this with regards to the schools for tens of millions of Americans with kids in school.
Have any of the Democrat governors actually announced that there will be no public school in the fall in their states yet? As far as I am aware, none of them have. And the rest of this lock-down/panic promotion strategy that is being championed by the Democrat left and the mass media is going to depend on this, in order to keep this politically motivated scare campaign going.
What was botched was locking everything down for two months. That never should have happened in Texas. The 'reopening' is going fine. Yes, cases of the virus have increased, as everyone knew that they would.
Again, the goal here is not to hide from this virus until it goes away. That is not going to happen. We cannot run from this, nor should we try. We have to go through this. That is hard, but life is hard sometimes. Sad but true.
Sacrificing human life for profit is always a worthwhile trade-off. Particularly if it’s not my life being sacrificed.

Way to completely ignore everything that was just posted before. Again, we have shown data/evidence that slowing/containing the spread is absolutely possible, and you keep insisting that it isn't, because...YOU JUST KNOW...

On one hand, this virus cannot be stopped. It can only be slowed down.
On the other hand, how many lives is it that the totalitarian-minded Democrat left and their supporters are prepared to sacrifice by financially destroying the lives of tens of millions of Americans? How many suicides? How many criminals are created out of absolute desperation at being deprived of the ability of honestly making their best effort to provide for themselves and their families.
It is you people who are sacrificing human lives - by the tens of millions in terms of lives destroyed by your megalomaniacal vision to force everyone into lock-down for months and possibly years on end.
What you are advocating is epicly foolish at best and insanely evil at worst, most likely a combination of both.

Lol. So you replied to a post about mandating masks with the same rant that you posted 100 times already. Nice.

If you guys keep responding with the same talking points again and again, then I will keep reposting the same answers. When you guys start coming up with some fresh ideas, then I will make an effort to do so as well.
