Look what happened to Florida, look at what happened to California and Arizona and Texas. That's what happens when you're reckless, you're careless and you let your guard down. When the lock down lifted, there wasn't sufficient guidance by political leaders and public health workers to guide the community to continue precautions.
Too much attention was placed on the economic impact and this made weak leaders think it was better to swing the other way and let people die rather than continue precautions - when in fact you could open the economy and still kept people safe with proper guidance. Other countries now laugh at how poorly the US is run while their populations work together to cut down Virus infection. Public health should never become a political football.
The USA infection rate is going to continue to be a raging wild fire until enough people die that communities wake up to the fact that they are on their own. No one will save them but themselves. When each person realizes they need to take precautions and work for the common good, the virus will be in decline.
Political and health leaders failed Americans when they told them masks were not needed in the beginning. These mixed messages from short sighted leaders will cause the death of hundreds of thousands in the USA. By Election Day more than 200,000 Americans will be dead and before this event is complete 500,000 will die. Much of this could have been avoided with honest health guidance, adequate testing, tracking and quarantine procedures. The CDC has been an absolute failure in this crisis.
Believe me it has been beyond frustrating living here in San Antonio TX.
From watching as restrictions lifted people just deliberately running around without masks everywhere the last couple of weeks
Almost like the Damn thing didn't exist anymore
To Abbot just refusing to lay down some strict guidelines especially on masks which just cut the local leaderships knees right out from underneath them
Then I watched that Senate hearing the other day where all those Republicans were refusing to WEAR GODDAMN MASKS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HEARING
When leadership behaves this way it makes even harder for the constituents to not feed into it
With over 100,000 dead 50 million facing unemployment suicide rates up 600% domestic abuse child abuse and violence and crime all rising
This is the sacrifice the common people made and were asked to make to slow this down with the first lockdown to hopefully begin to restart things to keep us treading water as a society give some hope economically and find a way to live with the virus until a vaccine hopefully next year. This is the price we've paid
And what do we get in return for our sacrifice? How are we repaid?
This is how our leadership honors the sacrifice of it's people? This juvenile behavior, politiciticizing a health crises, and RIPPING us the F@UCK off with that joke of a relief package
I swear to everything I hold holy these motherfuckers are going to pay come November
If we can manage to survive till then without imploding ourselves
