I think government as a whole has gone way too far at this point. Some reasonable restrictions have been put in place, but now you're seeing the economic toll and local governments/municipalities/associations/organizations are also digging in because they get in line like sheep behind the state and federal government. I mean, you have golf courses shut down, dog parks and recreational sites shut down. Newflash: You're not going to get the virus doing any of those activities. People need to exercise and get fresh air. They can do that safely doing those activities. Yet liquor stores are considered "essential." It's an absolute joke. In the future, I fear that these restrictive policies will be abused by politicians for lesser situations. That's the real long term threat, big government and big brother.
We need to reopen the economy by the end of this month, regardless of where the virus stands. Learn to live with it. Remember, it only kills 1-2% of those it infects, 80% of the cases are mild and those most severely affected often have an underlying condition that would make them vulnerable to a lot of illnesses. The government and media have scared people to no end. Remember, what you see on the news in certain hospitals is the worst of the worst cases. That is not happening everywhere. We cannot live our lives shutdown in fear over this.
The real failure here is hospitals, not government. How on earth do they not have the capacity to deal with epidemics? Do these administrations not plan for anything? Only 20% of these cases require hospitalization and they can't handle it. A massive failure.
