Now that the curve has been flattened and fewer people are dying of this virus we need to restart the economy and allow people to get back to normal. We were told today that our governor, Jay Inslee, has extended the stay-home order to July 4th. Does he realize that people are unemployed and having to rely on food banks to feed their families? This is the first time in history that the country has been brought to a virtual standstill because of a virus. Back in 1969, during the Hong Kong flu pandemic life went on. There was even the Woodstock festival and there were no limits on how many people could get together. If the severity of Covid-19 was to match the numbers of dead in 1969, there would have to be over 160,000 deaths nationwide, almost 3 times that it is now.

At this point it is no longer about saving people from dying of Covid-19. The government should only ensure our safety from enemies from outside and within the country. Let us all individually handle our health. The hospitals did NOT become overrun with Covid cases. In fact, hospitals are now furloughing staff and tent hospitals were never used. The Navy hospital ships saw little use as well and left soon after showing up.

We cannot continue to be forced to hid in our homes fearing being arrested for going on with our lives. Fortunately, more and more LEOs are refusing to enforce these draconian regulations. Let freedom ring!
