It's sad. All failure to wear masks and socially distance will do is force everyone back inside sooner. All premature reopening will do is finish off the economy as sickness, death, and fear grow.
We all want the same thing. But entitled snowflake behavior like that we see in the news will be what does us in.

Yes I know it’s an op-Ed. It’s clearly an opinion piece, but it is written by a doctor, a scientist, and not Karen - unless she’s writing for the New York Times again. It highlights the additional health tolls of the lockdown that many of us were citing and basically being told in response how stupid and thoughtless we were. Because science! Listen to the scientists! Well, here’s one. I thought it was worth sharing.
When I see a post that says "article by a scientist" that is what I expect - not an opinion piece.
Dictionary.con definition of an article:
a piece of writing included with others in a newspaper, magazine, or other publication.
"an article about middle-aged executives..”
Miriam Webster:
a nonfictional prose composition usually forming an independent part of a publication (such as a magazine).
I do believe this met the definition. I didn’t say it was a news article.
The thing is, it is not an unbiased, NEWS article. It is clearly an OPINION. And there are probably just as many "articles" out there that say the complete opposite of this. It is not a vetted, neutral news article.
I thought we were supposed to accept what the scientists say? This man’s credentials are pretty irrefutable. Hopkins is Hopkins.
My only point is that there are smart, reasonable people on both sides of the reopening issue.
