It makes me very sad, but there is very little that we can do about it. There are too many greedy, ignorant politicians that care more about money than about saving human lives and they will soon see that their carelessness will cost them both of those things. A surge in Covid-19 outbreaks and deaths will further depress the economy. You can't force people to go out and spend when they fear for their lives.
