The argument for reopening was that Americans could use common sense to do it safely. If the White House and Senators can’t do that, well, there goes the whole ship.
Part of the argument for reopening is that we should isolate the vulnerable and have the rest of us go about our daily lives as carefully as possible. That is not what this WH did. They put POTUS, Chris Christie and Herman Cain in the middle of super spreader events.
Days later we’re still seeing recklessness. POTUS signaling you can drive around with COVID and his Press Sec going to work for days after everyone she was in close contact with tested positive.
Avoid mass gatherings. If you’ve been exposed, presume you’re positive and stay home. If you are positive, stay home. The admin has done none of these very basic things. We still want to slow the spread, guys! We still want to protect the vulnerable!
There’s a middle ground between endless total lockdowns and open everything up immediately. I’m not sure why so few people are able to recognize that.
