Abbott made the ludicrous statement that we are doing this so we do not have to close again.
We cannot and will not close again no matter what happens. Floating that out there is my number one problem with all of this. Quit feeding this fear.
It's a Coronavirus. Most if us are going to get it.
Not sure why that bothers you so much - I think he's basically saying the same thing, just replace his "so we don't have to" with "because we can't" and you guys are in 100% agreement.
Even if we all agree we can't possibly shut down again, I doubt you're going to hear a governor speak in absolutes like that.
Maybe. But words matter, and his words mean something different than mine.
I just want one politician. One. Just one, to be honest. Come out and say it. 'IT IS A CORONAVIRUS AND MOST OF US ARE GOING TO EVENTUALLY GET IT.' That was the initial message back in early March. But apparently it doesnt poll well.
Look at this board or your facebook page? How many people actually think the goal is to prevent you from getting it? Or think that doing everything we can to prevent is the right thing to do?
Ive had about enough of this bull*****
I don’t say this in a braggedocious way. But it’s true. I’ve been right about everything.
