According to the numbers cited in this article we have averaged just 3.5 new cases a day since Friday, and 50% of the cases are declared recovered. With oil futures at an all time low we had better open this state up for business again to try to salvage at least some part of our local economy.

We don’t need to hold concerts or sporting events with thousands of attendees in close proximity, but stores, gyms, and restaurants should be allowed to open with a few safety protocols in place. Enough is enough.

Imagine that, nearly three times the deaths with hydroxychloroquine.
