In all seriousness, there are way too many threads regarding covid on this board so creating a new one to get opinions on various matters:


Next, I am still shocked on why some countries/states are easing out on the lockdown while the number of cases has been on the rise. The state of Texas is apparently removing their lockdown effective next week. Why, WHY, the number of cases will only rise and become much worse, just like in 1918. I understand that people need to work for an economy to survive, but thus far the precautionary measures taken have been outright awful.


Stay home, stay safe! Take care of you and your family.

Self-moderated thread. Post useless shit, and I will delete your message.
  You should understand that Donald Trump is one of the most economically viable presidents, and his hustle to reopen states gradually is understandable. He realized that if it lasted longer, the unemployment and debt rates would be more and more. and that would be totally bad for the US economy so he had to choose states with low infection rates to reopen. This is a risky decision, but if it is not reopened, the country's economy will be greatly affected.
