From Jeffrey Tucker at AIER:
I came across a Twitter account from one protestor who demanded to know where the Americans are in all of this. Why is this country that once inspired the world with its tenacious love of liberty and a strict Bill of Rights allowing its society and economy to be strangled by some of the tightest stringencies in the world?
Just look at the chart on our restrictions, as compared with other countries. The US has been stuck since the third week of March at between 62-72% stringencies overall.

Would not mind it so much if the numbers were honest regarding deaths and positive testing.. From what has been told by people who were tested such as athletes, one can be tested 3 or 4 times and each time the results are different. Even if the numbers were tabulated honestly, there are 3 million people in this country and 250,000 deaths over 11 months does not a pandemic make. More people die in car crashes.
