This Man Perfectly Puts The US Reopening Question In Perspective By Comparing Coronavirus To Poop In A Pool
Donald Trump has said it, Elon Musk said it, too (both in caps lock, also)—the US has to be reopened. Naturally, not everyone is in agreement. There are still many risk factors out there, and seemingly, the majority of Americans think so too. A recent poll showed that almost three quarters (72%) of Americans say that they are more concerned with moving too quickly rather than too slowly when it comes to reopening the country.
Nevertheless, Twitter is full of people advocating for reopening without taking safety measures into consideration. Not only that, but some are also even saying that wearing a face mask… is a political statement. But what should we expect from people who think that vaccines are intended to kill people, not prevent them from getting diseases? For this reason, Jeremy Konyndyk, the man who led the US government response to the 2014 Ebola outbreak, has shared a simple analogy—and yes, it involves poop.
Scroll down below to read the widely retweeted thread and tell us what you think in the comment section down below!

This is genius! I was on the swim team when I was younger and it was required that we receive lifeguard training. So I had to be the pool cleaner sometimes! And it really is better to get it over with and shock the pool, because the longer you wait, the more likely it is that the poop will dissolve and become more difficult to clean up.

Honestly I thought they drain the water, disinfect everything and then fill the pool again with fresh water. I mean HOW OFTEN do they poop in the pool?

The horrendous problems in our economy are painful, even devastating, to a lot of people. But the economy is not the problem. It's a symptom. The problem is COVID and we need to take care of that, then deal with the economy. If you have terminal cancer painkillers can help with the pain, but you still have the cancer. That's the core problem.

The people who are howling for prematurely opening businesses claim that they prefer "dangerous freedom." However, they are not endangering just themselves, but anybody they come into contact with. Quarantine is inconvenience, not opression.

I can understand the hairdresser who wants to reopen (using precautions) in order to support themselves and their families. I have no sympathy for the person who frames getting a haircut as an essential freedom.
