Isn't it apparent by the number of people who aren't social distancing, that many don't see going out under these current conditions as nearly as scary as you do? [/quote]
Like anti-vaxxers, many of those people are benefiting from reduced risk thanks to those of us who are social distancing.

Personally, I think this is a travesty. The extreme and prolonged stay-at-home measures we are living with are a direct result of a bungled response and lack of federal leadership. Why don't we have enough tests? Why are individual cities around the US having to figure out how to set up testing sites by themselves without guidance and support from the federal government? Why are volunteer networks across the country cropping up to get doctors and nurses masks? Why, in April, is the President just starting to meet with people from the restaurant and food industries to figure out a plan for reopening that maximizes protection to the workers in those industries who are higher risk of exposure?

A pandemic was going to be difficult no matter what...but we are much, much worse off because we spent so much time debating whether the virus was actually a problem and now whether the measures we've put in place are working, when data tells us they are, instead of figuring out solutions to minimize the impacts![/quote]
