I agree. Being a leader is all about setting examples and protecting the week. almost 4M cases in the us, about 143k deaths. or about 3.5% mort. Since very few kids are dying from this, and very few 20 something's, that means a 5%+ for us older people take the hit to counter the almost 0% mort for the youngsters. As I have said all along, you have to look beyond yourselves - kids will be fine, thats not the concern. Its the people that unknowingly carry to virus for about 7-10 days before anyone knows they have COVID - kids show few symptoms - taking temps misses the mark by about 7 days.
For something as simple as shutting down for 60 days, you would think we would have this virus cornered after 100+ days like the EU and Asia. One would think.. and one would think that something as simple as wearing a mask in public is really not much of a burden to bear for people here in the US - given how effective it is in stopping the spread - as all other developed nations mandated. Here we are sitting 100+ days into this.. while other nations are doing laps around us and getting back to normal lives, while we fret about our day, figuring out ways to "beat the system". These days, there seems to be no greater cause than that of "cause of self", and "number of followers", and "why can't I". As Jurassic park states (a paraphrase) - the best movie ever -
