I accept risk as part of freedom, but more like if a murderer is freed to protect our rights from bad law enforcement.
That kind of risk.
We wouldn't knowingly send our kids to a school with a measles outbreak. Yet you are correct, school has to hapepn.
and it will.
but we have to be grown ups and sadly turn a deaf ear to Trump and DeVos and figure it out with the brains of our experts, not with the goal of reelection.
Devos got lambasted for her quip about "only .02%" will die.
Because somebody did the math and says that's 14,000+.
So I ask again.
How many are we willing to accept?
Everybody dodges the question.
They ridicule the leaders who want to put a stake in the ground.
But they don't have the guts to make a decision themselves.
The left is saying 14,000 is too many (assuming that's a correct value).
I'm saying 0 is fantasy.
So.
How many?
Trump is pushing to get the country back on track.
I'm hearing from the left that it's too soon.
But the left is woefully inept at providing anything but shelter in place.
Which I'm OK with, if you give me a means to an end. A goal. Some way of knowing when to open the hatch and declare it's safe to walk outside again. Or go to school.
Because I'll say it again. The goal can't be zero. It literally can't.
