3,036 cumulative deaths, and OHA can't be bothered to close restaurants. "The economy!" the capital owning class cries!
I'll remind them that the 9/11 fund median payout was $1.7M per person for wrongful death
Do Oregon's businesses have $5B laying around for the next 3,000 dead?

At some point these deaths go from accidental, to negligent, to wrongful. Someday a judge will decide that but certainly lifting all restrictions as delta variant bears down is a marker that will be forever remembered in the losing battle against idiocy.
July 1st, negligence day.

Only about 20% of Oregonians have been infected with CoVid, and 3,000 are dead.
The plan from OHA is to let the remaining unvaccinated ~40% get CoVid, including your children under 12.
Certainly each of those lives lost will be a result of a decision made by someone in authority.

So, when will the state actually do its job and protect its citizens?
It certainly doesn't care about its' workers, otherwise we wouldn't be indoor dining.
It certainly doesn't care about its' children, or we wouldn't be opening schools again without vaccines for kids.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, those lockdowns didn't actually destroy our economy.
Yes, that would require some financial assistance.
No it's not too difficult.
Yes, lives are worth saving.
