Reopening too quickly would be playing with lives
By Tom Burke / Herald columnist
I cant wait to go bowling! Wrong! What Im really jonesing for is ink. Sure. At my age its finally time for a tattoo?
Uhhh
a trip to pet store; not likely, Amazons been delivering our puppy chow for forever.
So how is opening up the economy gonna help me get it back to normal? Lets look, after strongly acknowledging weve gotta help the economy recover, especially main street businesses. But lets also stipulate what that means in very stark terms.
What it means: Even more people will die; thats what it means.
On May 5, Donald Trump told us (for the six millionth time) we need to open our country saying, we have to get our country opened and we have to get it open soon. Then, acknowledging more people will die as a direct result of abandoning stay-at-home orders, he said, The people of our country are warriors. Im not saying anything is perfect. Yes, will some people be affected? Yes. Will some people be affected badly? Yes. (By badly affected he means dead, as in D-effing-EAD.)
How many more dead? A lot.
