The current refrain is that by breaking the lockdown Americans may be responsible for their grandmother's premature death by spreading the dreaded COVID-19 coronavirus in the community.  So says a highly visible virologist on television who serves the White House as spokesperson for the Centers for Disease Control, an agency even she says she can't trust.

The truth is opposite.  And if Americans don't go back to work immediately they may be responsible for the deaths of their own families and millions of other fellow Americans.  We aren't just talking about anxiety, suicide, loneliness and low vitamin D levels from being confined indoors.  We are talking about food shortages and even starvation in some families as well as financial insolvency, ruination of credit, family conflict, divorce, desperation and loss of hope.

Americans are like a herd of sheep backed against a cliff with no place to go.  They are being backed against a precipice by expert fearmongers pretending they are foxes in fox skins.  Sooner or later the sheep jump off the cliff thinking there is no other way out.  America is now facing that kind of horrid moment when its people do themselves in.

We live in a highly interdependent society.
