Essential workers are redshirts (and blueshirts.) Security and engineering personnel did their essential jobs in sometimes hazardous conditions. So did medical personnel who wore blue in the original series.
Donāt call the people demanding the states open up redshirts. Theyāre not. With apologies to Armin Shimerman, Max GrodĆ©nchik, and Aron Eisenberg (Quark, Rom, and Nog were somewhat atypical compared to the rest of their species) people putting the economy (profit) above all else (including peoplesā lives) are Ferengi.

Could you please provide where these figures came from? Because the Australian ones are inaccurate. As of 5 hours ago, just past midnight on May 1 2020, the Australian Government website was showing 6753 confirmed cases and 91 deaths. And as an Australian, I can assure you 87 did not die of Covid-19 overnight.
Edited to add: sorry, itās early, I missed that the quoted figures were per million. So the covid-19 deaths per million Australians may be correct. Iād still like to know where the numbers came from though.

Agreed. A friend went to Harvard and even though he is bookish and highly nerdy (ie very capable of keeping himself interested and occupied), he said it was a very lonely place. In his estimation people were either extreme introverts, workaholics or the bluecoats hungry for power and money.
He has also published some highly regarded board games, so Iām going to shamelessly plug them:

Those were numbers per million.
When your electorate have been trying to get their unemployment benefits and have realized that your political party is why they cannot? Killing them off seems politically expedient.

@Bob_Brinkman - One would hope thatās not the case. Sadly - I expect a significant % of these people will believe anything their establishment tells them. DeSantorum will probably just blame someone else and things will carry on as usual.

Japanās āalmost success storyā in Hokkaido. With an amazingly low infection rate, the local government lifted restrictions. And then the āOhā¦ Shit!ā happened.
Not like DeSantis is one to look for precautionary examples elsewhere, I guess.
