Or what if Stephen Hawking says we need to remain open. What if Dr. Burks says we should remain open but Dr. Fauci says we should shutdown? What if medical professionals say we should lockdown but economic professionals say that will destroy the economy?
Saying "I will listen to "The Scientists"" is akin to saying "I have a plan" but not giving any specifics on the plan.
Yes, fred. Asking for specifics means that I'm saying we should ignore scientists and leave everything wide open so everybody dies.
I am not trying to be "tricky" or twist your words.
I just asked a simple question. You implied that Biden would shut down the country. I am simply asking why you said that and why you would you be opposed to shutting down businesses no matter how bad the pandemic was.
This is why I keep complaining about the silly "question game" that a few people here like to play. Instead of saying hat they mean they ask a vague question. Then when you try to decipher what they are trying to say they get defensive.
So what is your position on shutting down businesses? Should it never happen no matter how bad the pandemic gets? Instead of attacking me for misrepresenting you how about you just say what you mean?
