Most liberals, Democrats and Dr. Fauci don't want it to end anytime soon!

Democrats are relishing this. Pelosi on TV the other night was wallowing in pleasure. An actual SMILE on her face talking about the economy and death rate. Sickening motherfucker.The best reason is ...

Dear Scolai:Look at the benefits to them of drawing this lockdown bullshit out as long as possible:
1 - a more negatively impacted economy can be tied around Trump's neck like a noose for Democrats to hang him with.
2 - the longer we are disallowed from gathering in groups, the more likely it becomes that Democrats will call for an all mail-in election. As anyone with a brain knows, a mail-in election is a slam dunk for Democrats, who never met an easier way to defraud an election.
3 - with each new stimulus package for the dying economy, the Democrats are inserting more off-topic pork than we can quantify. In the most recent $3 trillion package, Democrats have stuffed in Planned Parenthood funding, election law changes, and funding to sanctuary cities among other pet projects.
... and from a liberal perspective, more people will vote blue in November!Main benefit of prolonged lockdown? More people stay alive.
I disagree. The infection rate and death rate will settle and remain constant after a given time. Just like any other virus, eventually, everyone will get it and either survive by building antibodies or they will die. Good example is the flu. We have a flu season that bites us every year. Every year we lose about 30,000 people. Most people get it, survive, and go on with their lives. Others aren't so lucky. Covid will end up the same way, sitting in that little nest of nasties waiting to pounce at the regular time. But, the only way to level this off so the people can deal with it accordingly is to allow herd immunity. It works for the common cold, flu, and a multitude of other demons. The key is allowing everyone to be exposed so the population can build antibodies.Main benefit of prolonged lockdown? More people stay alive.
Thanks for sharing your expertise, Dr. Wamo.FLU SEASON? COVID SEASON? IF THEY HIT AT THE SAME TIME, HOW MANY DEATHS THEN? AND IV NEVER HEARD OF ANYONE HAVING TO BE QUARANTIND FOR 14 DAYS FOR THE FLU. WHY DO PEOPLE DIE FROM THE FLU, IT FORMS A DIFFERENT STRAND THAT BECOMES IMMUNE TO THE VACCINES. COVID WILLDO THE SAME ONLY WORSE.
Thats not necessarily true from a long term outlook. Suicides, heart attacks, and even starvation could add up over Covid deaths. What don't really know.Main benefit of prolonged lockdown? More people stay alive.
I skimmed through an article last week in which doctors/hospitals warned of a potential wave of deaths from people with serious health conditions NOT going to the doctor/hospital and NOT taking their prescribed medicines because they either can't afford it due to job/insurance loss, or are scared to visit healthcare facilities due to Covid. Basically the potential wave will come in the form of people succumbing to untreated conditions (that could normally be managed).Thats not necessarily true from a long term outlook. Suicides, heart attacks, and even starvation could add up over Covid deaths. What don't really know.
I'd love to hear a democrats solution to maintaining a lockdown while doing all of the following:
1. Not increase crushing federal debt
2. Reducing the value of goods and services by hyper inflation.
And I'm not talking "what ifs" from months ago. I'm taking about REAL viable solutions NOW that don't cause either 1 or 2. Because if 1 and 2 happen, we will lose lives for reasons outside o f Covid.
