Based on what we now understand about #coronavirus, it seems clear to me the consensus of opinion in the country is that losing a few hundred thousand people (or fewer if we are clever) is an acceptable price for reopening the economy. I’m in a higher risk category and agree.
It looks like it was super-important to do this ASAP since there is NOBODY IN VIEW FOR BLOCKS IN THIS VIDEO IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY https://t.co/iodycKy7lW
Conservatives: ‘Woah. Ok. This looks serious. Let’s take two weeks, stay at home. Be cautious.’
Progressives: ‘TAKE CONTROL OF THE STATE! BAN ALL TRAVEL! RESTRICT PURCHASING! QUICK! GET THE DRONES TO ENSURE NO ONE WALKS THEIR DOG!! ARREST THE PREACHERS! FILL IN THE SKATE PARKS!’
Current status on the 10 East heading to downtown LA. Way worse than yesterday. It seems the stay at home order is a paper tiger at this point. People are over it and patience is at an all time low. Local officials are losing control of their messaging. #COVIDー19@FOXLApic.twitter.com/TXGNMuMuaE
I’m really disappointed to see Scott Adams on the hysteria bandwagon.

That’s a very valid point,Christopher. Adams has set himself up as a pundit and has a schedule of one to two hours a day. He’s interesting but he doesn’t have enough material to fill two hours, hence he tends to blather more and more.

We’re going to lose 6 figures, probably 7, to early death in Depression 2.0 and people like Scott will be to blame.

I don’t get why you guys are complaining about Scott Adams. He is saying he is in the high risk category and still agrees with the decision to open the country. Why is that a problem? “…losing a few hundred thousand people (or fewer if we are clever) is an acceptable price for reopening the economy. I’m in a higher risk category and agree.”

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
