The effects of long-term isolation and people being unable to work and feed their families will lead to tremendous devastation as well.
IMO, maintaining stay-at-home/shelter-in-place orders for 12-18 months--or potentially even much, much longer--would be unreasonable considering that most people infected with COVID-19 will have mild symptoms and not become critically ill as a result of the virus. Additionally, everyone is not going to be lining up to take a new, barely-tested vaccine--mandate or not, regardless of what Bill Gates says.
At some point, much of the onus of prevention may have to fall on those who are at highest risk and/or those who provide care for them.
Perhaps it has a lot to do with the president who seems to be egging people on to protest the orders?
What a strange age we live in.
I am going to line up to get a vaccine. I am not alone because there are a lot of us who still believe in science.
Whitmer is doing exactly what she needs to do, it is the ONLY thing to do, and I am proud to have voted for her.
If The Flintstones have taught us anything, it's that pelicans can be used to mix cement.
