The craziest thing is how so many people are so helpless and have so little control over themselves that they look to the government to control every aspect of their life. I still have the freedom to do whatever I was able to do before this pandemic. About the only thing I can't do is operate a non-essential business where more than a few people gather. How many of us were really doing that two months ago? This doom and gloom Enfuego is constantly talking about because the casinos and movie theaters are closed is wrong.
Conceivably things could turn out quite grim, even apocalyptic (see the book of Revelation in the Bible, for an example of apocalyptic literature). I have an open mind re what the economic future holds depending on how leaders loose restrictions. See also, for example, the thread i just created re the mental effects of this present crisis, which speaks of depression, suicides, etc.
I said from the very beginning the answer to this. Save as many of lives as you can now. And then rebuild the economy. It’s not just what I’m saying....my governor recently said the same thing....take a look at his political affiliation. It’s what you do when you’re facing a pandemic of this magnitude.
Being able to go to the gym or a baseball is not a right. Two months ago, those business owners could have not provided you service. Unless you are the owner of the baseball team or the gym, the autonomy you have over yourself hasn't changed because they were told to shut down. It's just Enfuego trying to shove his doom and gloom agenda on everyone else.
