Not up to Fauci, and no way it ever should be.

I understand your viewpoint. But I also understand there are several viewpoints in regards to this. There are those who say that the risk to others is worth reopening and the loss of life is acceptable. There are those who say that the loss of more lives and the risk is too great.

The reason more people have not died is because of the bold social distancing measures our leaders have implemented. The reason the numbers have plateaued is that we are adhering to guidelines for the most part.

No one knows what will happen if we loosen the restrictions right now. There may be more infections and death, or there may be a leveling off. But given what has happened in more populated places the probability of more illness and death is increased if we loosen restrictions without testing or a vaccine for everyone.

I do not want someone who has no idea they are sick to walk by me and sneeze or cough and accidentally get me sick. I myself would probably be fine, but my 89-year-old Father who I take care of. would.not be. And while I acknowledge there are those who will say that...”he is 89.....its his time....blah, blah, blah” I do not want my Father to die smothering to death, just because some people want to get the economy going and watch some sporting events.
