I don't understand why we can't just sit back and let other nations reopen. COVID is bad. It kills a lot of people quickly. Multiple nations are already beginning to slowly reopen. See what works and what doesn't. The United States completely botched this from the onset (i.e. "liberal fake news media conspiracy"). Let's be more responsible.
I don’t see anyone on here saying I WANT. You are welcome to hide away for as long as YOU WANT. I challenge you to ask yourself who is truly being selfish though. The people hiding in their homes, afraid of dying, or the people trying to live and contribute to society, with knowledge that we all will die sooner or later.
You feel free to disregard the public health experts, congregate away. Close talk with your pals. Party like it's 1999 fella! The smart ones will play it safe until there is a vaccine. Period. It sucks economically for everyone. The people bitching the most aren't hurt any more than the rest of us, which is what makes them so fvcking selfish. We're all hurting, jacka$$es. Again, go for it. When someone in your circle of friends or family is sick, well that will suck hard, won't it? You prepared to sleep at night for the rest of your life after being so stupid and selfish?

Everyone is not hurt the same. Some people are out of work and some have their businesses shut down. On the end is Dr. Ashton who is on every show on TV making 10X what she normally makes and George Stephanopoulos still doing his show from home with no economic impact. It is the middle class who is getting blasted. 50 million continue to live on welfare like always and the upper class is sitting at home drinking wine.
You are not smart.
It's not about restrictions. It's about testing---for infection and for antibodies. It's about a robust system set up to rapidly trace people who came into contact with people who get infected/test +. It's about widespread deployment of rapid, accurate point of entry tests at airports and such. But we have none of that and won't soon. Because of the idiot in charge and his army of idiots who parrot his nonsense.
The real question is why do topics like these enrage the liberals?
Maybe you should care about the innocent children dying in poverty due to loss of income or the innocent people who are being murdered in the large jncrease as a result of people losing income or the huge increase of domestic abuse.

Is it a political thing or an IQ thing?

1. People aren't staying home because President Idiot told them to...if the economy opens early, they'll stay home
2. People don't want to die to earn $9.50 an hour sans health insurance at Walmart or Arby's; people want to be taken care of their govt in this time of need, since it's the govt that massively dropped the ball
3. People want testing, tracing, and access to PPE
4. The president and his braindead followers are making it less likely that the economy can safely open by their inaction and overall stupidity
5. You are part of the problem

I don't hang out with with fat people or immunocompromised pu$$ies, so even if they get it, im sure they will survive getting the sniffles for a few days.
People are staying home because their Governors shut down their businesses. Most people want to go back to work and to school and to sports and to the restaurant and to the beach. You are in the minority but do not realize we it. Liberals do not realize that most people want the freedom to do what they want. How would you like if you could not marry who you want or if you could not rent an apartment because of your race? Freedom is great. All people are equal. Live your life how you want.
If this goes on long enough there isn’t going to be anyone “with a steady source of income unaffected by the lockdown”. The job losses are already starting to “trickle up”. When the lower middle class of service workers suddenly loses income, they stop paying bills. They stop buying things. Every single company and Industry gets squeezed. Working from home your nice white collar job is great until there no longer IS any work to do, because sales are slumped and projects put on hold. Regular employers are starting to lay off large chunks of workers now. Anything from law firms, for-profit medicine and dental, real estate, finance, architecture and technology is being hit by this.
The poster screaming we need to stay hunkered down for 2 years has to be a teenager living in his parents' basement. I get it, for you it's the same. Continue playing video games and trolling forums while your parents worry about getting food on the table and keeping a roof over your head.
In addition, for some of you: grow a pair. Yeah, that's right, BE BRAVE.
Consider this, we will ALL get the virus at some point. My mother is old and frail and she doesn't understand why people can't go to work. SHE herself will stay at home, but she doesn't want everyone to have to do the same.
Where do you think money come from? The government? Trees?
Me, I only get money if I work, simple as that, and I need to feed my family.
Again, feel free to congregate, CLOSELY, with the other Trumpkins you love so much. Do it! Get really close to each other and share drinks and laugh and be merry. Do it lots. We'll be safe while you idiots get sick and drop dead or lose loved ones because of your selfishness, and then once a vaccine is ready, we'll carry on in a better world without the Corona Bros and their Merry Band of Trumpkins.

Some of these idiots think it is more important for them to be alive than for everyone to be free. Wait until the inner city residents come visiting because they are out of food. They will take their life and their wife and their food.
Go ahead and stay home while we build up immunity. This was always about not overwhelming hospitals. There may never be a vaccine. We were never going to stay home forever. If you shut off the news and step outside, you’ll realize it’s the same world as before the virus.
In countries with competent social democratic governments, no one is making the argument that people need to risk infection to keep the economy afloat. The only reason anyone in the US is suffering economically (as in can't buy food, pay the rent/mortgage) is because the government is not providing relief fast enough and in a large enough amount. For all the business owners, banks, etc., they should be able to negotiate through this pandemic. Banks can give borrowers forbearance. There is plenty of money coming out of the Fed to back up banks right now. Landlords do the same with their tenants. It is a much more rational move to work through 2-3 months and get back to normal than to default, evict, foreclose etc. and have losses that go on for months if not years.
Not disagreeing with you. I’m all for opening up in the timeline you suggested, with restrictions. You want me to wear a face mask? Fine. What I’m against is expecting the government to bail businesses and workers out for 2 years while we wait for a vaccine that may never come. What other country is discussing that as an option?
I agree on this.
The poor are getting their welfare.
Acton/DeWine are still getting paid with no financial hit to them. They will come out of this with no adverse effects.

Our country is not discussing that as an option.
A few people on a message board is not "our country"
