Fatality statistics in the elderly and immuno-compromised are up, hoarding is up, mass unemployment is up, small businesses forever shuttering their doors is up, government spending is way up, tourism/entertainment/hospitality industry is taking a beating, schools are closed, some parents are forced to make a decision between staying home with the children or showing up at businesses still open and risking the spread of infection, face to face contact is down, human touch is down, standard of living is down.

What do you really think December 31, 2020 will look like if the cause of these clean air initiatives you laud continue?

Interesting fact cleaner air, i.e. less particulates, causes temps to rise.
