Why all the talk about lifting!! Should still be talking about imposing!!!

Why are we even discussing ending the lockdown when we still don't have adequate testing, hundreds and hundreds of people are dying every day and doctors and nurses still don't have the equipment they need? Send younger people back to work so 630 of them can die? Very precise.

Lives before profits always a good option I feel
