On the Fact that While Most of the Residents of Cape Cod (Plymouth, Falmouth, Sandwich, Hyannis, Provincetown, Chatham, Wellfleet, etc.) Are Probably Liberal Democrats, They're Also Business Owners, Artists, and People Who Largely Make Their Livelihood Through the Tourist Industry and, so, Yeah, if These Draconian Measures Ultimately Wipe Out an Entire Season's Worth of Activity, There Will Be Hell to Pay, I Promise You
Yeah, I guess that they're "allowing" restaurant takeout now but in Wellfleet and Provincetown (for example) there really aren't a lot of places to eat outdoors and, so, what, everyone is going to have to chow-down in their cars? Oh yeah, that sounds like a great vacation. And what about parking (a nightmare during normal times)? Do the cars have to be six feet apart as well? I mean, this is fucking insane, and all over a virus that we now know is generally innocuous to healthy folks under 60. Fucking A, huh?...........................................................................................P.S. Just for a reminder, here are the death-rates of COVID coming out of the Netherlands; ages 20-29 - 0.004%, ages 30-39 - 0.007%, ages 40-49 - 0.014%, ages 50-59 - 0.103% (approximately that of the seasonal flu), ages 60-69 - 0.492% (roughly 5 per thousand). Yes, the rates go much higher after 70 but unlike these politicians I trust folks to gauge their own risk (and here the government actually can be helpful by supplying information) and act in their own self-interest/accordingly.
