If governments/the State (as in nation) want to stay relevant, they should be saying “Everyone stay home, we will pay salaries and keep the economy afloat till it’s safe again to be out.”

That’s if the “economy” is for everyone.

For Trump & billionaires, the economy is for them
Who HAS been keeping America open: it is always about race, class & gender:

Among the US workforce, just 16.2% of Hispanic workers and 19.7% of Black Americans are able to work from home, while about 30% of whites and 37% of Asian-Americans can. #COVID19 google.com/amp/s/www.vice…
Fuck #ReopenAmerica

As if it closed down. Pay attention to those who are KEEPING IT OPEN.

And understand this “economy” Trump et al are rushing to save doesn’t give a fuck about those who at great risk to their lives have been keeping America open
