California might seem insane to reopen back up completely. I mean, there are 776K confirmed cases in California, as well as 3,401 new cases. California is insane. There are 14,780 confirmed deaths, in addition to 110 recent deaths. California really thinks it’s a great idea to open back up when the cases are rising insanely. In Los Angeles, today on September 17, 2020, there are already 1,149 new cases and 19 new deaths.
If everything were to close down, coronavirus cases would slow down rapidly and the amount of deaths each day would lower. This state would become a healthier state. When people first began to quarantine all throughout California, the air was easier to breathe and the water was way more clear. It was becoming healthy. Quarantining will create the world to be a better place and it will slow down this pandemic. People would be so much happier again and get to resume life as it used to be.
California opening back up might be a good thing considering that the businesses will not go bankrupt and people will be able to get the resources they need and the food they need. However, California opening back up isn’t the best option either because people will treat it as the virus is gone. People have already stopped wearing masks and stopped quarantining. What did this do? This created more cases of COVID-19 and resulted in deaths and more people being hospitalized. People don’t take this virus seriously anymore and believe that if everything is opened back up, then it’s free to treat it as it never happened. This is definitely not the case. COVID-19 has been confirmed that anybody can get it at any time. This virus is a dangerous, deadly virus that many people can get hurt by. It is so crazy that there are people walking around with this virus, but have no idea because they are not showing any signs of sickness or symptoms. This is called asymptomatic. Asymptomatic may be great to the person who has it, but it can be spread onto somebody else, such as a loved one, a friend, a family member, or even somebody from the grocery store. The people who have gotten sick from the asymptomatic person can become hospitalized. This virus does not react in everyones body the same.
California closing down again will benefit the state itself, the health of others, and happiness. The people will be very healthy and they will get the vaccination. If everybody works together to quarantine and close the state back up, people will be benefited and people can live their same lives before COVID-19 with happiness and healthiness. We can all work together and put an end to this pandemic!
