No doubt there is a lot emotion driving this and the media is loving it as are many Democrats.  I look at what motivates them and I look at what informs decision and positions on these issues.  To do otherwise is to be led around like mind-numbed sheep.....not my style to say the least. 

It simply amazes me to watch people cower in fear about a virus while the world is collapsing around them, people are being ruined financially and our economy is being devastated......as if that reality is of no importance.  It is the madness of panic and give into groupthink which eliminates the ability to think logically and critically.  And the predictable response is to trot out the victims and start to assign blame, as if we don't trade lives for economic output every single day....far more lives than will be lost to the Wuhan virus.  

I am willing to give the political class a pass for their original response.  It was based on wildly overstated models and they had no choice.  But the time has come to inject some sanity into the decision-making process based on new facts and data.  To do otherwise is irresponsible and reprehensible.  We need to get back to work and get the economy on the road to recovery.  Every day deepens the crisis, lengthens the recovery and adds more debt onto the backs of future generations.
