This is getting ridiculous at this point. Curious what the motivation is for keeping a lot of these states and businesses closed still.

I just looked at CNN's stats per state. This has gotten nowhere near as bad as people "predicted".

Wisconsin has less than 1 death per 100,000 people. I bet more people die per 100,000 from a general surgery gone bad.

Every single state has less than 1% of the population infected.....

There is no reason to be doing all this ridiculous stuff still at this point. Experts were supposedly saying the death rate could be 5% or something really high....that isn't happening.

Again, I just really wonder who is benefiting from what is going on.....

Here’s a possibility. Maybe social distancing and other measures to prevent the spread of Covid are working. Not as much fun as a conspiracy theory though, huh?
