Government’s slow reopening is tyranny, denying basic freedoms

Open Clark County now! In Clark County the risk of death from COVID-19 is now extremely low. We all sacrificed to achieve this. Now the government’s slow extended “phases” of recover are based on data that is not accurate. The extended shutdown has become an unconstitutional denial of our basic freedoms and has become tyranny. Governor Inslee is using “fear” as a tool to control us. The argument that is you don’t obey Inslee’s decrees then you are selfish and want people to die is absurd! By staying shut down, we are losing our natural immunities, denying children their education, causing critical financial distress for businesses and loss of income for many. People are not getting regular medical treatment because of restricted medical resources.
