I get it. Social distancing, self-quarantining, stay at home, shutdown the economy, flatten the curve... blah blah blah! Anymore buzzwords? Time is not on our side with this. This is not a wait-and-see situation or a "however long it takes" scenario. There has to be a cut-off period. There has to be a temporary band-aid to this virus. We can't just remain in shutdown for as long as it takes to develop a vaccine. People have to come back to work eventually. At some point in time, we'll have to try something else. It's important to listen to the experts but once in a while, even they have to see things from a different lens. Yes it's important they do their part as health workers with the intent of finding a cure to the disease but they should also keep in mind those suffering as a result of all these attempts to lower the numbers. They can't just flippantly tell us to stay at home indefinitely with no regard for our financial well-beings. They can't just take their sweet ass time while we sit at home not just trying to contain the virus but worrying about other things as well like where we will get our next meal and how long we can sustain this long layoff. I know everyone's hard at work trying to find solutions to this crisis but damnit, give us something to look forward to!
