Ships, planes and trains with crews come into and out of this country daily to/from the outside world, shipping products and supplies. So long as we practice social distancing when possible, wear masks, sanitize surfaces and wash our hands often. Any second wave effects will be minimized. If we utilized these practices when it was first detected, it would never have gotten this bad. The second wave is going to be a lot milder, so long as we reopen in a smart way.
nobody inbound that doesn't quarantine for 14 days and THEN test negative.

all goods are dropped at the dock or aiport, and then treated with blasts of UV light and yes, disinfectant.

if we must, to satisfy you, illegally crossing the border is subject to arrest and immediate deportation, or shooting on sight if they try to escape or return. Because hey - if we a protecting 300MM Americans this way, saving us against the possible scourge of 50K infected border jumpers is an easy tradeoff.

It's ok, just keep drinking that Clorox, I mean Kool aid, and everything will be fine. After all, it is going to just disappear on it's own anyway. Just like your puppet master said.
The Minister of Health and What We Should Do™ in the state of Pennsylvania is a tranny. Would you consider him an expert on how to best conduct one's life?

Virginia's Earl of Health and Living The Best Life™ just called for keeping everyone locked down for another two years.

So much for "experts".

Listen to your leader. Drink Clorox. Rinse and repeat.

And if you're still alive then, watch him get destroyed in November. Because he will be crushed in November. And with good cause.
If Clorox doesn't work, perhaps a nice soothing Drano enema will clean the ol' pipes!

Well, I guess that you can just sit in your house forever then. I'm not sure who else is with you, though. Here in my Pittsburgh suburb the traffic (both car and foot) is damn heavy.

What does someone's gender assignment have to do with public heath administration? Are you kidding me?

BTW, your guy is done in November. And he knows it.

Pandemic + Economic collapse = lost election.

let's just stay home for 2 years and let the government keep printing money.

monthly stimulus checks should be enough to cover monthly netflix subscriptions.

COVID is so deadly that it forgot to kill Tom Hanks.

No surprise there. At least you admit it. But why aren't you following your beloved health officials' advice and staying home?
