The media show cases the politically backed numerous anti-stay home protests popping up around the country try…
They ARE visual…
But?
Most Americans want their Governor’s to move smartly with restriction loosening…
Not just declare blanket ‘all clears’….
Americans protesting stay-at-home orders in different parts of the country are capturing plenty of attention, but polling data makes it clear they represent a minority viewpoint when it comes to how to best deal with the coronavirus pandemic.
The less visible and vocal majority is in favor of the stay-at-home orders and the politicians implementing them.
There’s plenty of polling on stay-at-home orders, and they’re quite popular. A Quinnipiac University poll taken this month found that 81% of voters favored a national stay-at-home order. This included at least two-thirds of every demographic and political group. That’s similar to what a Fox News poll showed as well.
The majority supports stay-at-home orders even as they know their daily routines won’t be getting back to normal soon. Only 27% of Americans in an ABC News/Ipsos poll said they expected their routines to be back to normal by June 1. The majority said they expected by July 1 or later (61%) or haven’t had their daily routine changed (11%). The percentage who don’t think they’ll be back to their normal routine by July 1 has gone up since earlier this month….

Nothing will be “normal” for a very long time.
The Republican rabble howling, Donald Trump lying, and Fox News assisting, notwithstanding.

TX Republican Lt Gov made another ode to dying for the economy today saying there are things more important than living.
These assholes just need to drink some Jim Jones kool aid and leave the rest of us out of their death cult.

It is *likely* that the situation in California is improving, but the state’s data is such a mess that I’m not sure we’d really know if it wasn’t.
