Curtis: Taking Risks Does Not Equal Being Reckless

Good morning,

I want to bring to your attention the most recent column from Executive
Director Jessica Curtis published for [3]Real Clear Politics.

"Successfully clawing our way back from the COVID-19 pandemic can only
happen if and when our political leaders understand some risks are worth
taking. That we cannot guarantee in advance that a given action won’t have
negative consequences doesn’t mean the action is reckless, much less wrong.

From the beginning, discussions about what should be done have had as much,
if not more, to do with politics as science. I am not referencing those at
either end of the extremes. Instead, this a simple acknowledgment that the
level of risk acceptable to most Republican leaders is higher than is the
case for most Democrats. We should not allow how matters are viewed by the
majority of the mainstream media to dictate what is allowed. Instead, we
should do as we have been lectured to do from the start — listen to the
experts, follow the science, let the data decide.

When Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced his state was ending the requirement
to wear masks and that Texas was open for business, the president of the
United States described this as Neanderthal thinking. When the results
showed it was a safe and sound decision, the critics argued to wait a
couple of weeks. Well, we are way past that timeframe, and Texas is doing
just fine, thank you.

Meanwhile, blue state leaders have been reluctant to ease mitigation
measures. The very same people who insisted the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention should have its every utterance followed without question
now are torturing logic and reason to keep mask mandates in place."

Please take a moment to read the full column [4]here, and we hope you find
it of interest!

All the best,
