And there is where the road splits. Your definition of significance is probably a lower standard than someone else’s. But if you truly believed this pandemic is as significant as you say where was or is the outrage at the peaceful protests that erupted all over the country? Those thousands upon thousands of people in close proximity, no dire narrative from those events for an entire year. This virus is very significant to the most vulnerable in the population (elderly and preexisting conditions). It is not significant for people that are healthy. Again, not my job to damage my livelihood, ruin education for a generation of children, watch suicide rates sky rocket, domestic violence increase so people like you can play political football. It’s either serious enough to condemn all forms of gatherings or it’s not and your selective outrage and hypocrisy is further driving the divide in this country.

1. The virus is significant to everyone. The young and strong may not be “affected” but they sure spread the disease without knowing it.
2.it’s not my job to condemn one group or another. The media does what it wants. All I know is people I know have died; millions have died. Many young people I know have long lasting effects from the infection.
3. I don’t think shutting down the economy is the answer. Certain high risk activities such as movie theaters, restaurants, sporting events and, yes, churches are high risk for spread of the virus.
Thankfully it seems schools are fairing ok.
