Time to get back to life and work. Much longer and the economy will be in shambles. I doubt this would have happened if it wasn't an election year.

You are always knocking the media. It's not perfect but it's our only hope of keeping up with the moment by moment events of the day. Covid 19 is much more potent than the seasonal flu and should not be downplayed. Without social/physical distancing we would see just how bad it could be. The hospitals are overwhelmed, emergency Army ships are brought into heavily infected areas and the Army Corp is building temporary emergency hospital units. Because of the efforts by our governors and the media giving factual information the disease may not be able to kill as many people and that's to their credit. But there is nothing overblown about Covid 19's ability to kill people.
I would love to be racing right now but there is no way in hell that I would risk the health of loved ones by potentially bringing this killer virus home. No way!
