Open up our state - ALL of it!
 

Our government has to step out of our lives, I think it’s clear to all of us you have no business mixing limited science and business.  There is more to good medicine than germs. What about the people your EO isolated?  I would say we’re doing more harm than good with all this separation.  A lot of them don’t understand and feel deserted.  

If we’re sick, trust us to know to stay home. 

Our children belong IN school.  They need to learn from their teachers and their peers.  They need to learn the social skills necessary to thrive.  They’re not going to do it sitting in front of a computer.  

If you feel you want to wear a mask, go for it.  If you don’t and you’re well, fine.  I feel the taking of temperatures and recording people’s movements through the community is a huge misstep.   PRIVACY - it’s ours, not yours to take.

You treat us like criminals, but yet, in the name of safety, you release hardened criminals?  We can’t go to church, but you’re okay with hundreds, perhaps thousands gathering to protest??  

You’ve destroyed our hospital - we’re losing our healthcare workers, those same people that put their lives on the line to care of us three months ago in droves - laid off.   That’s a heck of a way to say thank you...

I find it amazing that your virus can tell the difference between a church and Lowe’s?   Your virus has permitted thousands of state workers to stay at home and yet, they got paid.  Of course they’re in no rush to return to the office or shop. . . Human nature is rearing its ugly head.   (I can assure you, the ones in my neighborhood are enjoying their time at home - can you say party???)

Our county has at least a billion dollars in schools sitting empty - But yet, we’re still paying for maintenance and debt service...where’s the sense in that??  Think about what you’ve allowed to happen.  It’s wasteful and you know it.  Bad for business, bad for our children, bad for our seniors, bad for our farmers, bad for everyone...including you.  

Our Commonwealth has fallen apart in the past three months.   Nothing to be proud of here.  A virus is a virus is a virus.  Wash your hands!

Let us be responsible for us.
