Know what I dislike? The bilious campaign for businesses to open up.
What is disturbing is that politicians, gun-toting thugs, bullies, and big-mouthed business owners would rather suck up the last human-handed-over-dollar today, not caring if everybody is sick and/or dead from COVID-19 tomorrow.
Let them get sick. Only then are they hollering, screaming, demanding the best of care for themselves from the frontline doctors, nurses, housekeepers, EMTs, and cafeterias.
Evidently, they think they are immune. What part of ignorance allows those people to mislead other human beings into breaking quarantine? The bigger question is, are you the public gullible enough to be suckered into breaking it because the flimflam businessman wants a dollar? Is getting COVID-19 worth it?
One would not think so. The choice is science, cure, vaccine—when we have one. Until then, let us all use our common sense. Politicians and business people are not doctors, scientists, or EMTs.
