Letter: Closing businesses only makes pandemic worse
Published 9:47 am Tuesday, March 24, 2020
Is the city council actively seeking to destroy the businesses in Seaside with this latest closure? Haven’t the panicking federal, state and county done enough harm. Do you want to make it worse? There are better ways to handle the pandemic than by spreading fear.
Do the five:
Practice personal hygiene.
Quarantine and protect those at risk.
Let the rest of us live our lives by choice.
Give information, not laws.
Hide or not.
What about the next round of flu? You going to shut down for that? You know the stats. This virus is no more dangerous to healthy people.
This method of driving everyone into their caves to hide is not the answer. The cure is worse than the disease and will be felt long after the virus is history.
