If it were any other country? I would say 1. The current political climate? Easily a 6 if not higher. AOC said it. Even if people loose their jobs, businesses go out of business, it is worth it, if it helps get Trump out of the White House. So what does that say about what the Dems are really about?
The enabling behavior excusing the racist BLM and the violence that follows them. Nothing just happens.
I think what we're seeing with the shut downs can be compared to the kid who waited until the last minute to do a term paper. The kid knew it was due at a certain date. The kid went on and pretended he didn't have a paper, until other kids started turning their papers in. Suddenly, said person is trying to has to write a paper really fast. That is where we are at. The shutdowns are a response to not preparing in the first place. It's a response to being slow to act in the first place.
On a scale of 1-10, how much do YOU personally think the Covid restrictions/lockdowns are done for political reasons vs. actual health concerns?
A rating of 1 means: you think the lockdowns and restrictions are done entirely out of actual health concerns due to HOW DANGEROUS the virus is and living like we did in 2019 would be like playing Russian Roulette with your life.
A rating of 10 means: you think the lockdowns are ENTIRELY political and Covid is either a made up disease OR less dangerous than the flu and the lockdowns are done ENTIRELY for political reasons of crashing the economy, causing panic, and locking down to make widespread rioting more easy than it would be when the streets were vibrant and alive with tourists and security.
My personal opinion is around a 4. I think the virus is significantly more dangerous than the flu but risks are somewhat exaggerated in terms of how dangerous it is for young and healthy people by the media by focusing on the odd case of a young person who dies. I think the ban of gatherings of over 20 people and the closure of bars, malls, and schools is good (kids are in less danger than the flu but will NOT social distance and will bring it home to parents and grandparents). I also think high risk people and everyone over 60 should be advised to stay at home. I still think stores, parks, and popular tourist areas should stay open with masks and distancing advised but not required. Restaurants and salons should also be allowed to stay open with stricter distancing and sanitation requirements since they are indoors. Private social gatherings should be allowed if they are under 20 people with the advice of "at your own risk."
Funny what a butt load of money can do to one's memory.
It is good to see how many people believe this "virus" is being used for political purposes.
If you agree.. vote republican in the next election.
Of course it is being used for political purposes and to suggest it isn't, is being completely dihonest.
I voted for a 5 out of 10 in the poll, by the way.
Yes, it's all one grand international consipiracy to bring down Trump!!!
That's not the point. The question is, whehter or not the China virus is being used by politicians to further their own political purposes. The answer is....... absolutely.

Indeed.......For it, or TO IT, as the case may be, on an almost daily basis.
At least the goggle and face shield manufacturers will be making some overtime coin, soon. If they can swim to work in China, that is.
