Today, protesters once again returned to downtown Raleigh, NC demanding Governor Roy Cooper reopen the state of NC sooner amid the "Covid 19 pandemic" executive orders that has essentially shut down the state. First the goal was "flattening the curve" so that hospitals would not be overwhelmed and our healthcare system would not collapse base on flawed death predictions of 2 million people dying in the USA. When that false narrative was debunked, they moved the goal posts to "were buying time til we can develop a therapeutic or vaccine". But here in lies the problem, if we are waiting for a "deus ex machina" while tens of thousands of people lose their jobs, and fall into poverty and despair, and we have no timeline at all! Millions have filed for unemployment after trying to contact NC Unemployment for weeks, That is millions out of work. No wonder there are so many angry Americans protesting on our streets.
