House conservatives call to immediately reopen the economy

Conservatives in the House are calling for the country to immediately reopen, raising concerns that the closure of nonessential businesses due to COVID-19 infringes on individuals' rights and could have detrimental long-term effects on the economy.

While critics fear reopening the economy too soon could lead to a spike in cases, House Freedumb Caucus Chairman Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) - who was recently appointed to President Trump's "Opening Up America Again" task force - said he believes there is a way to reopen areas that haven't been heavily impacted by the coronavirus while at the same time minimizing the risk of furthering the outbreak.

That would require being strategic in isolating vulnerable populations, testing health care workers and maintaining social distancing and hygiene practices, he said.

"What you did is, you basically took a sledgehammer to the whole economy. And we now have a huge structural deficit, we've really exacerbated our national debt issue and we've put 22 million-plus people out of work. I mean, come on, it's time to open this thing up and trust the American people. I trust the American people, I think that they will get it they will I think they will try everything they can to avoid passing this disease on and I think I think what'll happen is, is you'll see that, that we are a much more mature people than some of the draconian authoritarian leaders think we are," he told The Hill in an interview.

3. Sheesh!

The Grim Reaper, when interviewed, said with a shriek and a laugh: "It's very arousing. We are getting it aroused now."

Let's see a second wave of infections and increased deaths or the "economy", (which, unlike actual people, is an abstraction).

Without people, THERE IS NO ECONOMY. And what's with this great economy? Why isn't it prepared and resilient enough, (with ALL THAT WEALTH) to weather a storm like this and not make it a dire, life and death decision. That is what needs to be discussed. Make it ready and able to adapt when necessary. Just in time medical supplies and care is one example that it is a neo-Liberal nightmare right now.
