We know how to mitigate the risk and mitigate the risk to the elderly. Covid is being blown up into something far more scary than it actually is. It is not killing millions of Americans from young to old.
And people like Gavin Newsom trying to tell people how they can or cannot celebrate Thanksgiving is utter insanity and complete BS.
228k to date and no end in sight is not enough to incite panic? We literally changed the way Americans traveled costing trillions of dollars in airport security upgrades after 9/11 for 3k deaths. We spent a decade at war with "terrorism" because of those 3k people, costing trillions for that as well. Why does it take millions of Americans to die to react? It has never taken millions of deaths in the past when the response didn't require the average American people to do anything, the difference here is it is asking average people to be slightly inconvenienced.
You again mention that it isn't affecting young to old which seems to insinuate that because it is contained to the old it is less of an issue.
This is exactly what I was talking about. How dare people forgo a chance to eat dinner together to potentially help slow down the spread of a pandemic that has killed 228k people. Americans can not get beyond their own inconvenience to do what they need to in order to move forward.
