A Closer Look At The States That Stayed Open

I’m sure we all remember that fateful month of March. One after another states began to issue lockdown orders, closing businesses, restricting travel, and ordering people to stay home.

That was the month when the United States went from viewing COVID-19 as a minimal threat to issuing some of the most draconian lockdown measures in the entire world.

Life changed almost immediately. The stock market plummets, the unemployment rate skyrockets, the masks get tighter, the social fabric frays. The government goes on an unprecedented power grab exerting more control over society more viciously and more arbitrarily than ever before.
That’s what many Americans may recall when we think back to late March and early April. What many of us probably don’t recall is what Dr. Anthony Fauci recommended around that same time. During the first week of April, Dr. Fauci made it clear that he believed that every state should issue a stay at home order.

Damn stats....it's the question that's asked that stats can either support and debunk.

The states show weren't major air hubs or metro areas. Not to mention. Lesser populated than others. On the other hand Draconian (writers word) actions by major states hurt many and the economy. This generation had never been thru this before and Monday morning quarterbacking now for future solutions will only help in the future than blame now.

It's like someone saying today if Al Gore woulda won in 2000 as a Dem... Sept 2001 wouldn't have happened but did cuz Busy was Republican.

Bullship of course but that Monday morning quarterbacking.

I really should have had bourbon today rather than exercising. Hate when I think like this!!!
