    Then why are Republicans in Texas shutting things down? Are they in on the virus hoax?

    Pandemic has been over for a long time. Government response is not over.

    You can never give straight answers, if the pandemic is over then Trump should declare that instead of saying we gotta live with the virus like we are married to it.

    Why is Texas Cons now mandating masks after resisting it for so many months? Because the pandemic is over?

    why are Texans following draconian liberal democratic cucks from NYC and falling in line w/the hoax? It makes no sense.

    I don't understand the alternative. Vaccines are possibly more than a year out. Real unemployment has skyrocketed and the markets are being artificially propped up by fake dollars. Moreover, "hundreds dying each day" is relative. All of this is editorializing. It's being chocked up to a homicidal maniac killing hundreds of day when in reality these are more or less deaths by misadventure. Not a single one of these articles compares death rates to put things into perspective. When viewed in a single year event, yes it looks dire, but will we continue to see COVID-19 deaths at this rate next year? No. We won't.

    How are we supposed to continue? The implication of this article is two things:

    1. There is another solution we have not seen that is not "accept and move on"
    2. His opposition has a solution

    For (1) There's no other way. The economy has to re-open. We can't stay in this lockdown limbo in most towns for much longer without dramatically effecting the local economy. Eventually you just have to suck it up and accept that this virus will be around. It's even possible we are doing more damage by isolating by weakening our own immune systems. This thing isn't typhoid fever. It's fatality rate is marginal for the average person and people in at-risk groups can take bubble boy like precautions at their own will. This is known by the dirty word personal responsibility which for some reason Trump's opposition seems to ignore.

    For (2) I have yet to see a solution other than to blame Trump - ostensibly to make grandpa Joe look better. Not a single democrat politician has proposed anything other than keeping this "new normal going" despite every economic indicator pointing towards disaster. At this point it's a borderline conspiracy.

    Comparing our system of government to parlimentary systems of government is moving the goal post.

    Try again.
