idk about y’all but
I’m pretty forgiving of opinions I disagree with, a lot of the time
If your political views are different from mine I see that as a potentially good thing rather than an inherent negative
But if you think quarantine is un-American or refuse to wear a face mask just because, honestly get the fuck outta here

tbh I think the only people that have any real right to hold that opinion are those who are actually hurt by things being closed

Losing a source of income or something else that puts your whole life into uncertainty

It’s dumb as opening up now isn’t going to solve anything.
Consumer confidence rn is in the shitter because people now still fear the virus and are probably going out sparingly due to it and with the current issue regarding job security, so a fair amount of businesses that open up may just end up losing money due to the lack of customers, and the few that do are put in a greater risk of getting infected.
To open up we need to curb the spread, which in turn will also encourage people to go out, while at the same time providing security nets as the status quo a lot of people are simply not going to spend and just save.

basically every expert: ‘to be able to safely reopen we need to massively scale up testing’
the Authorities: ‘what if instead we encouraged people to inject bleach’

It’s pretty much because of the idiotic contrarian zeitgeist that’s in American political culture rn.
Much of the American left were the first ones to sound the alarm regarding COVID-19, so naturally as a reaction a lot of the American right either treats this with skepticism or outright declares to be a hoax, which is why several red states are opening up despite the fact that the virus is still spreading at a rapid rate.
