write your own title dammit

Reopening doesn't mean we've achieved herd immunity. It doesn't mean everyone that has gotten it will get it it. It means that closing worked, we flattened the curve enough so that our hospitals have room for the new sick, dying and dead without overloading the system. And even that isn't entirely accurate; bed counts are dropping. New cases are skyrocketing, and not just among older or at risk folks. People are at home, out of work, unable to afford groceries or medicine or rent or mortgages. It's still a huge fucking mess, and our president admits he slowed down testing so that he could lie to you about the numbers, sacrificing our most vulnerable populations for the sake of the stock market, to get us "back to work".

I'm unemployed, taking care of my senior at-risk father, and having a bad day and this hit me right at my breaking point. Take care of eachother, wear your mask, wash your hands, be thoughtful about how you feel before you go out in the world, keep your distance. And seriously, take care of eachother.
