… for a paycheck, their bosses have told them they must return to work, and now their kids have to be quarantined and are sick by the 10s of thousands.

This is going on in every one of these benighted states where governors have declared it over and where people are screaming and making bloodcurdling threats at school board meetings and town halls over whether their special snowflakes will be forced !!! to wear masks at school.

When is everyone else going to rise up and say enough?

pulled the US out of the World Health Organization during a pandemic. It is obvious the right wing want Americans familiar with all kinds of death including that of children and foreigners of all kinds. The more you accept death the more you could become a libertarian.
