The Germans require masks when entering businesses and riding public transport. It allowed them to open their economy the week after Easter and still maintain low numbers of new Corona cases. Isn't maintaining social distance and putting on a mask when entering a store much better than the Democratic alternative of locking down the entire nation again? As long as small county-like regions in Germany have low incidences of new cases/100K-residents/latest-7-day-period, businesses are free to remain open with mask-wearing and social-distancing. The Germans don't lock down their whole country because of isolated Corona hot spots. We shouldn't either. States are far to big a region to impose a one-size-fit-all set of Corona restrictions on everybody because of hot spots within a state.

Common core is another one-size-fits-all solution that doesn't work well for anybody. The reason wheels haven't been replaced by another device is that they do their job. The same is true for math. There is no need to change what is proven to work for what doesn't work as well. Given Hagerty's connection to Romney and his general dislike of common core, it is surprising Trump endorsed him. If there is a push to get Hagerty's past actions known in TN, perhaps it can override the benefit of Trump's endorsement. But the GOP Senate is vulnerable to big-money-backed candidates being pushed against better candidates who support policies in line with the GOP base. I looked at the issues Sethi support and they look golden to me from both a Christian and Trump-policy perspective.
