Health experts call for country to shut down again
It's time to hit the reset button: Shut it down and restart. That's what more than 150 health professionals are urging government leaders in an open letter published earlier this week.
"Tell the American people the truth about the virus, even when it’s hard. Take bold action to save lives — even when it means shutting down again," the letter, spearheaded by the nonprofit U.S. Public Interest Research Group, says.
Public health leaders argue in the letter that the U.S. reopened too quickly, nonessential businesses should close again, Americans should mostly stay home, and government officials need to invest more in testing, contact tracing, and personal protective equipment capacities.
"If you don’t take these actions, the consequences will be measured in widespread suffering and death," according to the letter addressed to President Donald Trump, federal officials and governors.

Damn bruh. Stay up. Hope your fam will be ok.My mom just called crying because my sister, my niece, and brother in law all have the virus. My sister is doing real bad. My niece and brother in law work at the beef plant I work at. I got them jobs there a few years ago. They work on the line around lots of people so not sure what department it came from.
I haven't been in contact with them recently and I work in the office so I'm ok. Thankfully my nieces 2 little boys are doing ok but my sister is bad and scared she might die.
