>> Of course, it's hard to argue for sacrificing lives just to keep state economies going, so that where denial comes in.

If you are facing loss of your life's work at the hands of a rogue state government, you might prefer to save your work. I watched as Houston Methodist stupidly fired nurses and doctors for refusing to get vaccinated.

But the point is that states just shouldn't be making the decision. If a person wants to close his business, he can do it. It is even okay to recommend closure, and tell people they may get sick and die if the go out for pizza. (It's a lie, but governors lying is nothing new).

There are always competing interests. CA and some other states, did not consider other interests, and instead attacked the freedom of its residents in an untried overkill response to Covid. Some of you find that as acceptable, but as someone who has had a business destroyed by government actions in the past; I have a lot of respect for those states that understood the need to keep kids in school, keep businesses open, and demand absolute science before making the outrageous decision CA did.


If there were compelling proof...but I don't see it.
