solutions

 Kind of silly to abandon a process that helps the situation just because it doesn't completely shut it down.  What we should have done, and can still do, but most likely won't, is to have a complete tough lockdown for like two weeks, so that anybody that was infected would not be able to pass it on, and when we emerged it would be gone.  Well not exactly, you couldn't totally shut down, and people would cheat, but it could take it way down, and if you had a good testing program you could stomp out the resultant little fires.  But you would have to have the country working together and certainly having a lying sack o shit for prez makes the whole thing impossible.  

It would cost a lot of money and would be a pain in the ass, but not as much money and not as much of a pain in the ass as the current situation.

That's the situation with cops not wearing body cams, the mayor of Kenosha thought it was too expensive and the cops thought it was too much of a pain in the ass. but you have to admit it would be much cheaper and less of a pain in the ass than the current situation there.

Even if cops were punishable for their misdeeds and were not inclined to cover up for their bad apples, there would still be times when they wrongly killed a black man, but it would not be as often.  From conversations with I have had most people previous to blm were not as aware of the provisions in police contracts that lets them skate, but now they are and there were polls that most people looked favorably on blm.  Now that they have failed to separate themselves from looters I think they may well have sacrificed that approval.  

And in the Try Something Else mode I would like to suggest that we have been showering the military with money since I was born, and they have not won a war in all that time.  All that dough would help us greatly in the time of pandemic.
