How do you know they are not prioritizing? Is the only thing you do all day, worry about the economy. Isn't what they are doing, what we should be doing? Getting on with life. Safely.

Excellent comments Mr. Allen.
Thanks for taking the time to educate.

Here we go again. Mr. Idiot oil lover. Sickening.
The other commenters are correct. A disaster waiting to happen

What should we say? WOW?

Great comments, Steve.

All I'm saying is that many, many health experts are saying it is likely a bit too soon.

Sort of like inviting people to go to Disney World for free. If you think The Bahamas only attracts people because of its no-tax regime, you underestimate the beauty and tranquility of what we have here. There are not many places in the world, growing even more scarce daily, whereby people can experience the natural wonders, safety, and peace that come from being here. If we realize that, we may have a future. Continuing on with the same mindset and expectations is a recipe for..........................

Agreed, but the hole is, and, has been gaping.for some time now.

Dawes, this pandemic did not create these problems. They only exacerbated the structural inequalities that exist. Proper planning prevents poor performance. We have placed little to no emphasis on planning ahead, either as families, nor as a country. There is more than one reason for this short-sightedness. I don't think the writer is supporting a lockdown. He is advocating for reasonableness and caution. Any mature adult would say the same thing..There is no doubt, as the writer clearly empathizes, that the lockdown is taking its toll on everybody. I think the writer wants to open up just as badly as you. However, for once in our history, could calm, cool, collected and intelligent public interest decisions be made on our behalf.

Absolutely right.
