You truly are a fascinating case study. At least you are consistent with your ideology - that has to be admired (kinda). The goal posts have certainly moved since this all started. CA has not disappointed, moving the goalpost as needed in order to walk the partisan line. Other states are taking prudent measures, trying to be responsible with their populations, even after completely screwing it up (insert NYC and New Jersey here). There are others that come to mind as well.
Your approach is one sided, filled with the hope that a vaccine, which is being rushed, driven by financial and political gain, will be the cure all. Except that society will react to this vaccine just like any other vaccine. Not all will take it. Heaven help us if someone mandates that the vaccine will be mandatory. Nothing like like angst, anxiety, and fear to try and control the narrative. And before you say something nonsensical like I don't believe in the virus, I do. I wear a mask, I social distance, etc, etc, blah blah. I also eat out and allow my kids to play soccer. I want them to go back to school in person. I expect that responsible business owners will do the right thing and implement practices that make sense - that's how you get my business. The same goes for things like school districts, etc.
Shutting down indefinitely is irrational. We already did not once, won't happen again.
