I think public outdoor spaces like big parks and beaches should be open. They can take some of the billions handed to business who did not need it, and hire unemployed people to be FRIENDLY health outreach workers. Walk around to people who are NOT social distancing and hand out pamphlets or masks and say "keep safe, have a nice day." There is only so much you can do.
Many many people including the media forget that the point of a lockdown is to slow the initial spread. So hospitals could deal, for example. Nobody ever said lockdowns would prevent the spread to more than 3/4 of the population, over time.

And so shouldn't black people not have to work right now because they are in a really ultra high risk group?

[quote]Yes, RFK Jr. is an opponent to vaccines. . . He ultimately provides plenty of facts every time he makes a point, it does not seem to me he is doing it for his own ego.
RFK Jr. does not provide facts when it comes to vaccines. He believes in the link between vaccination and autism, based on ONE fraudulent study by ONE person (Andrew Wakefield), who was harshly discredited and subsequently barred by the medical community for falsifying data. If there was any truth to Wakefield's findings, then the other researchers who duplicated his methods would have reproduced those findings. That they did not is evidence of his fraud. Conspiracy loons and idiot celebs like Jenny McCarthy latched onto his ideas and perpetuated the anti-vaxxer movement. Before all this, Wakefield published a paper proposing a link between the measles vaccine and Crohn's disease, another false hypothesis debunked by scientists. He is a joke – a quack interested in making a name for himself by whatever means. He is responsible for serious damage because the decrease of vaccinations brought the re-emergence of previously controlled diseases like measles, mumps, and whooping cough, causing needless suffering in children. THAT is Wakefield's legacy.
[quote]Everybody should listen to what this great American has to say. Then form your opinion.
I roll my eyes at RFK Jr. There is nothing great about a man who's cheated on all 3 wives, who practices deception for his own selfish ego. After filing for divorce from his 2nd wife, an addict who became suicidal, he brushed off her cries for help. He's not even a political candidate, yet he hides behind a fake public image. If he wants to sleep with many women, then he should stay single and stop pretending to be a family man. He admitted to his cheating only after parts of his diary (which detailed his affairs) was leaked to the media. Add to that his belief in the quackery of a lone ex-physician and you have a man of poor judgment, R38.
