Could you explain to me mathematically why someone going back to a place with low cases like .01% is different to a place where cases are .5% within the USA? What affect does that have over the next four years? (Well assume a hopeful case of there is a cure or vaccine in about four years) That's the articles angle, so then let's talk about that. Why does it matter mathematically overall if it's wide while within the USAs borders.

Because it spreads the disease. To different populations that are all trying to stay separate and safe. Its a jerk move by people who, in the name of personal freedom, are infringing on others egregiously by increasing their risk of terrible disease and death. But you know all this. It was the point of the whole exercise - "Look at me! I'm flaunting your efforts at safety! Because I'm greedy and selfish!"

  I am not a Republican nor a Democrat supporter, anyone can see the level of partisanship over this is nauseating. Plenty of people are going hungry and missing housing payments, we have a depression era economic crisis. Still people eat up whatever liberal/conservative spin and lies from the station that meets their fancy. Should we really be hating each other during a massive economic crisis? People we have never met who are struggling to get food and housing? Either for workers protesting or workers passionately endorsing authoritarian measures and fear. We should be united, and we are being so easily manipulated.

    Agreed. Its ridiculous to go armed to the capitol or whatever, yelling about personal freedom. When a reasonable conversation can be had anywhere. I suggest folks write their congressperson. Instead of endangering the public with pointless rallys.
