I wonder what do you consider too soon. If states that reopened had waited a few weeks it would just push back what is happening now by 2 weeks. Once people start going back to work and other places the cases will increase. Unless you think we should wait until their is either a cure or enough people have taken the vaccine this will happen. Personally I think everyone staying inside, millions of businesses failing and a lot of poverty is worse. Humans are made to congregate.
I wonder how many people in the world will starve if charities lose a lot of donations.
And yet, many other countries around the globe have managed it. Is America just more stupid than the rest of the world?
The only ones saying Sweden made mistakes are American rags. Swedes don't think so! Mask wearing there is under 10%, the lowest in Europe. Indicating they're not scared of this virus.
Sweden lost 10 X number of people than their neighbors and never got anywhere near herd immunity, so yes, they know they blew it. The guy in charge, chief epidemiologist Anders Tegnell, admits he blew it.

How come this did not happen in multiple other countries that have reopened?
We have not been in a restaurant or had takeout since before March 13. And that 5 dollar ice cream was a spur of the minute treat that went into the trash can right in front of the clerk.
But the good thing is the lost and never to be recovered 20 pounds gone from my arse.
We are longing for a Whataburger.
I hear you. I would love some really good Chinese food.

I know humans need socialization. But humans in most of the other countries realized the seriousness of this disease and didn't feel the need to congregate too quickly. They wore masks and socially distanced for the most part. So now not only do we have millions of businesses failing and poverty, but we get to extend all of that because people still refuse to do the simple things to mitigate the effects of this virus.
What disregard for the science? Science does not dictate public policy. Everyone knew opening would lead to an increase in cases, even DeSantis. For the most part, we want to open even if it means Covid cases go up. We don't give a damn about Covid-19, do you understand? Not one crap about it. Let it do its thing. Who honestly cares.
Yes we heard that from Trump's press secretary, "we don't want to let science get in the way of school reopenings".

When did it become the duty of humans to keep others in business?
I know many Americans think we live in a free enterprise economy. We sure do subsidize all sorts of business with tax dollars.
If masks are truly helpful then why wait several months to mandate wearing them? They were saying they weren't needed. The CDC even said they are not helpful for healthy people to wear.
As been posted all over CD, as well as news, THE REASON WE WERE TOLD NO MASKS IN THE BEGINNING WAS BECAUSE THERE WAS NOWHERE THE AMOUNT NEEDED BY HEALTHCARE WORKERS TO TAKE CARE OF US!!!
Now, there are masks a plenty. It is no secret that we had to protect front line workers in order to protect us!

So WEAR YOUR DAMN MASKS!!!!!!
It no secret that the cloth masks and scarves that are being worn today were not needed to protect health care workers.
I wear my mask but don't pretend the majority of the types of masks being worn today were not readily available before or that health care workers use them.
