Where we should be focused on is preventing people 65 and older from getting corona not a blanket lockdown.
Once again the person, who I am replying to, did not bring his A game, B game C game, or even Z game.
I have written to my Senator and asked them to draft legislation making it a felony for the media to print or report an untruth. Such a law would make them much more careful.
