Health vs economics

When the virus first hit the news the debate was about health safety and economic safety and health won out but as time passed the country moved toward opening up. As this change began things turned political as republican states started to open before democratic states and once again science took a back seat to politics. The latest action is based on the concept of taking advantage of a crisis as democrats propose a trillion dollars for state, county and municipal workers and republicans look for protection against law suits by anyone who gets sick going to work. As both sides agree to toss in another trillion for infrastructure they may achieve the grand daddy of all deals and to paraphrase Everett Dirkson, a trillion here and a trillion there and soon it adds up to real money.
