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

DP. You are right- I am a government employee and am grateful that I am not likely to lose my job.  But I have plenty of family members who are working class, some are still working in essential positions.  My 66yo dad has no business being out there working with his smoking history but he fears losing his paycheck more than the virus.  So he continues to work.

The tone deafness in this board is astounding to me sometimes.  Be the liberal you profess to be and put yourself in someone else’s shoes.[/quote]

Exactly what do you think should be done?[/quote]

DP.  Maybe just try to think a little harder about a response other than "you first" and stock market gains.[/quote]

+1.  It’s incredibly rude and out of touch.[/quote]

It’s a bumper sticker, not an argument. [/quote]

So, none of you guys have any idea what should be done but you definitely want someone else to go first. Have I got that right?

DP but masks and social distancing should be in place except for the actual current hot spots.  Most people should be working again[/quote]

DP. The problem is that the response has been all over the place.  Some states, like MD where I live, have put forward a reasonable plan.  When the criteria are met and I’m asked to go back to work and return the kids to school/daycare, I will go.  I accept a certain level of risk- the point of the social distancing measures is largely to slow things down, not bubble wrap everyone until there is a vaccine.  I know there is a good chance we will be exposed or get it at some point.

But then you have states like GA with idiot governors flying by the seat of their pants.[/quote]

Don’t worry, this will be our future soon in MD. Only a matter of time.[/quote]

It’s already happening, maybe just not that high tech- my brother is a cop in a midsize city and they have been busting “house parties” left and right.[/quote]

Is anyone actually arrested at these parties? If you really think that the cops have no right to shut down parties, then sue. [/quote]

Yes.  And I didn’t say they have no right, just that it’s already happening.[/quote]

I'm interested but "anonymous brother of cop in midsize city" isn't exactly a reliable source. Do you have an evidence of this?[/quote]
