It kills people in high risk groups, such as the aged. Since I am 73, I am in that category.
But using A Pandemic to wreck a Countries economic viability so a certain political faction can have a better chance instituting a Socialist/Progressive/liberal agenda is wrong.
And don’t give me that “you’re just a conspiracy nut”. I trust Peloci, Schumer, Nadler, Waters, Schiff etc about as much as I would trust Socialist Thug.

Cases in point -- Most of my friends and colleagues are strong Trump supporters. None of them wear masks, except for a few when they're going to the supermarket or the gym. I only know three Democrats well enough to know how often they wear masks. Two are women in their 30's, neither with pre-exisisting conditions, who wear them religiously, not to protect themselves but to protect others, including Republicans. They're also careful about social distancing. The third Democrat, despite being 70 and diabetic, doesn't wear a mask.
Nobody I know in the real world condemns contact tracing. A couple of my Republican friends are skeptical it works. Here on this forum though you have strong Trump supporters who are dead set against it.
So what I'm getting at, say what you will about Democrats desires, that they want lots of deaths so Trump won't get re-elected. It seems they're doing a better job than the Republicans of actually doing what they can in their daily lives to stop the spread of the coronavirus and get America back to work. If that happens before November, it enhances Trump's re-election prospects.
