[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3380563, member: 3099"] I get that but we now know that the vast majority of people who get COVID don't even require hospitalization and some don't even get sick at all. With that knowledge I have the opinion that we screwed ourselves by shutting everything down. I'm not saying the COVID thing is a farce like some, it's obviously not. And I also can understand the initial reaction of fearing it so much since it was new, but hindsight shows what it usually does. I also can concede pstmstr's point that it's not really needed here at all. Though I do appreciate Trump coming here, a state that is more in play would be a better choice perhaps Texas, Florida or a key midwestern state to kick things off? Since the media will undoubtedly take our COVID spike and place it squarely on Trump's shoulders and ignore the fact that it started before. Oh wait...They'll hit him with that too as they already are. Silly me. But my point is that I think in the grand scheme of things, if he wants to hold it here we should let him and be gracious about it. The COVID "risk" while not zero just isn't worth the alternative. IMO. [/QUOTE]
