Re: Maybe I’m naive but I think this is because of the sacrifices we’ve made.

I don't trade anything for my freedom and liberty. Does it suck that people die, absolutely but people die all the time we just don't publicize it. All these measures are a slap in the face to those who have died from the flu. I'm sure people who have had close family members die of the flu wishes we would have shutdown the country in hope their loved one may have not died. There's risk in everything we do and we are free, supposedly, to make those decisions on our own. The fact so many are fine with this communist style takeover by every Governor is friggin frightening. Look if you want to give your freedom away go right ahead but don't complain bc I won't give mine away. Even people with underlying conditions should have the ability to choose whether they want to live in fear or live free. I'm not saying you can't hide or shutdown but the fact that leaders believe they have the right to take our rights and financially ruin millions is disturbing. I'd rather get the Wuhan Virus every d%mn year than to live like this. Sorry if that hurts someone's feelings but this is beyond ridiculous. The mortality rate is fractions of what they claimed, they keep dropping the "estimated" deaths by millions and hundreds of thousands every week now we hear that the CDC is recommending that assuming one died of the Covid-19 is good enough to mark it down in the death column. There are things that kill more Americans every year that we don't act like this so you have to ask yourself why this? People die, we don't stop the world bc people die. People die of diseases and virus in the tens of thousands every year and we don't blink an eye. As each day goes by we see numbers that suggest this isn't any worse than anything else and peddling in the "it's worse than the flu" agenda sows nothing but fear and hysteria. Go to Walmart of the grocery store and tell me people are listening. Drive through any neighborhood and tell me anyone is listening. A lot of people aren't doing nothing to keep the spread down and the numbers continue to fall and we continue to put people out of work. We may be the greatest civilization in the history of the world but we're d%mn sure the dumbest.
