> the government should just let this run its course Isn't it just an opinion? I personally think that way. Why wouldn't I be allowed to think that?
You’re totally allowed to have that opinion and other people are totally allowed to think it’s idiotic, unless I’m missing you’re point?

hospitalization by state:
