Here's something to think about. It helps explain the political differences between the two major parties in keeping things closed and reopening back up.

From the article.

"The devastation, in other words, has been disproportionately felt in blue America, which helps explain why people on opposing sides of a partisan divide that has intensified in the past two decades are thinking about the virus differently. It is not just that Democrats and Republicans disagree on how to reopen businesses, schools and the country as a whole. Beyond perception, beyond ideology, there are starkly different realities for red and blue America right now."

"The Coronavirus Is Deadliest Where Democrats Live"

I can see the difference here where I live. My county has been relative unscathed. Reopening most things seems appropriate. Now those in and around the Atlanta area, that might be considered crazy. Well over half of all cases and deaths in Georgia have occurred in and around Atlanta. Atlanta heavily Democratic, the rest of Georgia, pretty much Republican.

Based on the article, it is easy to see and understand the huge political difference between parties in keeping things closed and reopening.

It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
