FYI, the Alabama protest consisted of 60 people of a population of 5 million.

Same ‘fraidy cats who worried too much about Ebola back in 2014?

You should find an actual member of the working class and ask them. I guarantee that you are not one.

only educated elite that look down on workers

should have gone to harvard

To be fair, an upper middle class perspective informs these arguments. Ruling class? Maybe not. But definitely elite.

I guarantee that these decisions should not be made based on upper middle class perspectives from those who telework in comfort.

Imagine sitting at home, doing little, while knowing that everything you worked for is going down the tubes. Imagine wondering how you are going to feed your family. Now imagine it's because a bunch of elites decided that you were expendable so they could eat cake.

That's why there are protests.

When did "flatten the curve " turn into "stay inside until we have a vaccine/stick a swab up 330 million noses in a week"?

You have things backwards. Those that can telework won't be endangered by re-opening the economy. It is the working class -- those that have to fill factory floors, take mass transportation to work, or interact with hundreds of customers per day that will get infected. They will be assuming the risk of illness to protect Trump's political fortunes and your wallet. While they are risking their health, you will be safely protected.

Imagine your boss calling and saying that you have to return to work or get fired. Imagine that your health insurance depends on your job. Imagine catching COVID-19 and suffering permanent heart, lung, or kidney damage, or even dying. Imagine how much better off you would have been if there were fewer people like you willing to put their own finances ahead of other's health.

In Georgia, it is also about making tenants liable for rent, so it is a 'benefit the landlord' play.

Well, in Canada they have health care AND unemployed people are getting 2000 a month to live.

If you are watching everything you've ever built in your life going down the tubes because of a two month stay at home order, you don't have enough money to afford to vote republican.

It doesn't have to be this way, but the "we must open and sacrifice ourselves to the god of money" protestors don't seem to care.
