Keep in mind there was a conscious decision made by many of our so-called “leaders” to institute the irrational and suicidal shutdowns. Common sense indicated the best course of action was to isolate and protect an identifiable group which is susceptible to the deadly effects of the virus while allowing the rest of our nation’s population to carry on their business while using temporary and enhanced safety precautions.
There is something very suspicious about Fauci’s original advice, which becomes even more suspicious when we consider our Fifth Column Media embraced Fauci’s illogical approach, and the fear and hysteria the pinko media created across the country when subtly attacking, by innuendo, anyone who dared to question Fauci’s irrational and suicidal advice to impose a massive shutdown of our nation’s economy.
If the object was to limit the death rate from the virus, and it was known almost from the beginning that the vast majority of deaths due to COVID-19 were among the elderly, and more specifically, those with underlying medical conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, chronic lung disease, etc., then the obvious course of action was to focus on and protect the susceptible group while allowing the rest of our nation’s population to go about its business. Instead, Fauci constantly focused on the increase in the number of reported cases, causing fear and hysteria, instead of the death rate being among an identifiable group which ought to have been the focus, and how to protect them.
It seems as though the Democrat Party Leadership’s mantra of “never let a crisis go to waste” was very much in play here, and was successful in paralyzing and destroying America’s thriving economy, while forcing millions upon millions of American citizens into loosing their jobs and dependent upon government for their necessities of life.

They are not “liberals” or “progressives”. The Democrat Party Leadership is infested with notoriously evil communists and socialists who delude, lure and addict our nation’s needy with free government cheese used to buy votes while keeping the needy enslaved and dependent upon government.

One other issue that has not been addressed is the disproportionate impact among racial and ethnic minority Americans:

Perhaps diabetes, of which Type I is the least common type, being more common among nonwhite and mixed race Americans contributes to higher percentages of hospitalized patients and deaths from this virus:

Here are some statistics among indigenous Americans, including Pacific Islanders:
Instead of addressing the challenges faced by minority Americans and maybe helping them to devise strategies to prevent hospitalization and deaths—for example, better control of diabetes, a very common factor in hospitalized patients—we’ve all been treated to a bunch of “equality “ nonsense and idiotic messages like “Shelter In Place” and “Those of You Who Can Stay Home, Should” and “We’re All In This Together” 
Much as many on the left like to throw more conservative types under the bus as racists, if anything, quite the opposite is true. In listening to flakes like Madonna foolishly calling COVID 19 an “equalizer”, opportunities to help black, Hispanic, Asian and American Indian potential patients are being missed. It’s the worst racism in that it’s very sneaky & subtle.

Garfield certainly can get behind something called the Lasagna oath!
