And will again.

That those that dismiss and demean this sensible scenario you pose will either say “Government is the problem”. (decades of Reagan brainwashing)

or

Call what you describe “the nanny state” where the government takes care of you from cradle to grave ...after all, this country was founded on the principle of “rugged individualism “ and “every man for himself”.

Now, the occurrence of Covid-19 blasts these two deluded beliefs right out of the water, doesn’t it? How will we survive if our government, does not provide for or consider “the common good”? (A phrase most right wingers loathe because it’s puts everyone on an even level and it insinuates that lazy poor people and minorities will get taken care of on the taxpayer’s dime)

Yet they still ignore reality and pretend everything will be okay if we do nothing.
