Once the lockup is over there will not be jobs to go back to for many. The shortsightedness of some Biden voters is going to come back and bite them in the as#.
It's unfortunately going to effect all of us. It is amazing how many people are okay with this.

I'm fairly certain that that could control the situation, but I'm fairly certain it won't happen.

It doesn't matter anyway. Trump is still in charge until Jan 20, 2021. We will lose a lot of people in this time to his complete inaction. He's not even concerned about anything other than crying fraud, brainwashing his minions, and having a tantrum.

It really has to be a mental block or something. How is Trump or anyone else of your choosing, going to stop a virus that after almost a year, we still don't know everything about, and one that has no cure ? Please do tell...what does STL74 think should be done ?

I will not comply with a 4-6 week lockown. I'm <60, healthy, with no health conditions that could cause complications.

I always wear masks inside public places, and even outside along sidewalks where others are walking.

I do my best to maintain 6'+ spacing, although at times people do approach from behind w/o my noticing at the grocery stores, and it takes me a few seconds to move away....grrr

I could see it for 70+'er that have other conditions that make them more vulnerable, to take some pressure off our health care system, but not for younger healthy people.

Our economy needs to stay healthy too, and mental health issues arise with these prolonged shutdowns. More drug and alcohol abuse, spousal abuse, child abuse...there are harmful downside impacts of shutdowns.

Do people understand what facts are anymore?

Anyone -- ANYONE -- calling Biden the "president-elect" is LYING and DECEITFUL. It's not true.

Because the election has yet to be decided.
Y'all were calling Trump the president-elect 4 years ago on the night of the election. Spare us the outrage.

Real numbers: U.S.-230,000 dead.
Australia- 907 dead.
What numbers are the "real numbers" you`re seeing? Please share.
