The numbers don’t justify Americans’ willingness to abandon liberty

The numbers don’t justify Americans’ willingness to abandon libertyAmerica, "the land of the free and the home of the brave."  Or maybe not.  One of the most unnerving things about the Wuhan virus's appearance on our shores is the speed with which people willingly abandoned their traditional liberties to stay safe.  Just last week, a Kaiser Health poll found that 80% of Americans are willing to accept the shutdown for another month.  This is a staggering notion, considering that, in California alone, 20% of the population is unemployed.
