I don't find this political. I understand why some areas want to have tighter lock downs than others. I also understand that people feel different based on their situation. For example, just in my house:
My wife has Lupus. If she gets the virus, it could be deadly. I'm fat, if I get the virus it could be deadly.
My mother is 85. I can't see her.
Both of us can work from home and our companies are not being hurt badly by the virus.
Neither one of us knows the right answer. Do we think Polk County needs to "open up"? We're not sure. Does it mean that Polk county needs to be "locked down"? We're not sure. Everyone is in a different position and the consequences are different for each of them.
I do think simple things like requiring every person to wear a mask every time they go out would be a smart move.
