Seems reasonable. The shutdown was to prevent hospitals from being
overwhelmed. Not to prevent people from getting sick, but just to
make sure they don't all get sick at the same time.
Well, we've managed that -- hospitals are underwhelmed -- so why not
get back to work?
About 40,000 Americans die in car accidents every year. Lots more are
grievously injured. But we don't shut the country down over that. (Or
ban cars, for that matter. Instead, we bail car companies out.)

Two ways to save a lot of lives:
Outlaw cigarettes.
Set the speed governors on all cars to 50 MPH.
The cigarette industry struck a devil's bargain with the states. Let
us keep giving millions of people emphysema and cancer and you get
more tax revenue.
From wiki:
According to a 2014 review in the New England Journal of Medicine,
tobacco will, if current smoking patterns persist, kill about 1
billion people in the 21st century, half of them before the age of
70.[9]
Why is no-one panicked about that?
Nobody has found a good way to codify "The wealthy get to do whatever
they want and the poor get the State's gun up their ass and their every
move controlled" into a coherent and acceptable written legal framework,
yet, though the United States has made the most advances in this area.
How did you acquire your proctological fixation?
I'll tell you my whole life story if you like you can read about it in
