As I say, you are entitled to your opinion.  I personally believe there was a need to shut down for the period that we did to save lives.  You may not believe that is true, and that lives weren't saved, but that is your opinion and your interpretation of the facts.  

Right now, COVID is taking a back seat to the latest "crisis" which is race. That doesn't mean it still isn't a crisis, it's just the the media is not focused on it, because they can get so much more mileage from race.  I don't personally believe that race is a crisis in this country.  Yesterday in a counsil meeting in Montgomery, where they were discussing making masks mandatory, 5 pulmonary specialist made the argument that it was necessary to wear a mask to slow down the spread of COVID - Montgomery is a state hotspot at the moment.  When the motion was not carried (along racial lines), the Doctors walked out.  They can't all be political players.
