[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were told to shut down in order to flatten the curve.  As a nation, we complied.

Now, it seems,  many governors have moved the goal posts.  The curve has been flattened in most places  around the country.  The hospitals were not overwhelmed, we had an overabundance of ventilators, testing is up across the nation, and the spread has slowed.  Yet, places  with few or no cases are  still being locked down in an unreasonable fashion.

We cannot wait for a vaccine or cure to open up.  It is not feasible to the well being of most Americans.

We have learned how to protect ourselves.  We have learned to wash our hands, maintain appropriate distance, and wear masks.  But, crazy restrictions are still in place.  Closing beaches is crazy.  Evidence has shown that this virus does not spread easily outdoors and in heat.

And, as for masks.....

If they don't work, why are people being forced to wear them?
If they do work, why aren't more places opening up with limited restrictions?

Where do you live?  [/quote]

In a southern state that has lifted most restrictions.  All businesses are opened with safety precautions in place. [/quote]

So why are you complaining if your area has reopened. Good for you. Let us know how it goes 
I OTOH live in the DMV where most people rely on mass transit to get to work. The number of cases in the zip codes surrounding my home numbers in the thousands and three parents in our local high school died from Covid19 leaving 12 children without a parent. So I am grateful that our county will continue to restrict activities for a while longer [/quote]

Fine.  Sorry your area has been hard hit. 
But, you cannot deny that there are governors and local leaders who are so damned power hungry that they are putting ridiculous restrictions on their communities. 
And, I care because their actions have an impact on our economy as a whole.  
An example:  Mayor of LA, CA who said they will not fully open until there is a cure.  
And, while the beaches opened on Wed, people are not allowed to sunbathe or picnic.  WTH?

There are many others.  And, this is why people are protesting.  The decisions of these local leaders and governors make no sense.  [/quote]
