Oh there should be a review. Being busy (I am taking you mean the pandemic is in process versus it would be a bother) is part of the pandemic and I am concerned over the second wave which may happen. It could be nothing or like with Spanish Flu be really bad. Point is if we are going to seek punishment of China; let's hit them with what they cost everybody.

For this country; I think the "blame China" talk will be used to deflect rather then review and make needed changes.

I too think the Treaty of Versailles is a good model.

As far as I'm concerned, supporting Trump at this point is just downright disgusting. One thing we can start doing as individuals imo is cutting out people who are pro Trump from our lives. They deserve to be treated as untouchables. It's like they have the mark of cain on them.

You're just another monster, and thanks to your actions, someone else will eventually become as warped and twisted as you. Never forget that the best of us are just the best of a bad lot.

Is that not the same thing as not holding peoplr accountable?

Indeed. There are people like that in both camps.

As in another thread I mentioned we live in Bizarro times where you see the left defending the FBI and the right defending Russia.

Too much time spent trying to own the other rather then solve problems long term.

Well, the Swedish model is killing a lot more people, so they might be reticent.

Germans are very reasonable people, they will gladly go back to church with restrictions. As many other people are going back to their jobs, with restrictions. Or going out in public to socialize, with restrictions.

It's your refusal to accept any restrictions which makes your position unsustainable.

When your time comes, and there's a job for you (with restrictions), I think you'll abandon your silly objections. It's a choice between normal life with restrictions, or being stuck in your house raging against restrictions. You won't be so silly as the way you talk here, I am sure.

Well then they can cut some wages and lay off some people. If we want to reopen restrictions are going to be needed for a time. No real way around that.

If they're only operating at 25% capacity then they only need ~25% of their usual stock.
