God bless the people who rationed food and stockpiled lead for bullets during World War II. Not only did they value and understand what "freedom" means in our country, they understood that their rights came with responsibilities. But those days are obviously long gone.
There's no point putting lipstick on this pig. The US has utterly failed, and will continue to fail, and no amount of boosterish nonsense is going to bring our economy back. Fauci said early on that we don't define the timeline, the virus does.
We now know how this is spread and we could take action to virtually eliminate the spread without shutting down businesses but there are too many selfish morons in this country who are unwilling to take basic steps to get this under control. At this point, it is completely out of control.
I am extremely disappointed that Mayor Holt is not taking action on a mask ordinance. He is a great mayor and he is literally like the only major public official who has done anything in our backward state (along with the Norman mayor who, unbelievably, is receiving DEATH THREATS for her decisions to protect the public), but it is absurd that he is still espousing "personal responsibility" as a solution when it is abundantly obvious that too many of our fellow Okies do not understand nor will ever exercise "public responsibility." Holt is a Republican, after all, and for some reason, Republicans seem to believe in this magical "personal responsibility" fairy tale.
This is a wayward ship hurtling toward an iceberg.
