If Ducey reflects the basic effort by the Republicans, they need to be removed from the office. "Living with COVID-19" is a false option. Basically, what the Republicans are saying is that their "stock holdings" are more important than American lives. The Governor of Georgia Kemp is stating the mayor of Atlanta is "harming jobs and a growing economy." End of discussion, two Republicans are placing profits before American lives. It is more than "politics over people" for the Republicans, it is about profits to cronies and padding their own stock portfolios.
A nationwide general strike is not about protesting. It is about Americans literally shutting down the country by walking away from their routines, including work. If there are few to no Americans willing to work through this health crisis the companies will shut down and wait for healthier workers to return. The idea behind a nationwide general strike is to carry out the policy that leadership in the White House never committed to in the beginning. Instead of shutting down the entire country for 16 days, the White House continually stated there was no such danger because a jet from China was contained. It was a "smoke and mirrors" trick on the American people. There has been confusion and false dedication to political movements since those deceptive statements were made.
A nationwide general strike whereby people "GO HOME" for 16 days is the only real way forward if classrooms are ever to be open anytime in the future. The vaccines may or may not be in their final stages of testing, but, computer hacking by Russia and China places a huge question on the efficacy of the research.
In the good days, all research was written in laboratory record books. I doubt seriously anyone is keeping a written record in laboratory books. Most everything in a lab is now computerized. So, until there are fresh trials proving to provide immunity, Americans need to take the matter into their own hands. There is no leadership to end the spread of SARS-CoV-2, hence the deadly disease COVID-19. Americans need to take their well being seriously and in their own hands.
NATIONWIDE GENERAL STRIKE IS NEEDED TO END THE DEATHS AND HARDSHIP.
Understand the mixed messages from Republicans, Ducey will extend eviction prohibitions, BUT, it is the new normal for workers. There is no plan within those mixed messages.

Gov. Doug Ducey (click here) will extend eviction protections for tenants affected by COVID-19 through Oct. 31, the Republican leader announced Thursday.
The delay isn't as generous as the one sought by housing advocates, who wanted protections for renters through the end of the year. Beginning Aug. 21, tenants also will need to show proof they've applied for rental assistance.
But the extension will give tenants who've lost jobs or become ill an additional three months to catch up on payments and seek community assistance — something Ducey called "the right thing to do for public health and our economy."
The announcement comes as the state continues to grapple with one of the worst COVID-19 spikes in the country, which has infected more than 134,000 Arizonans and killed at least 2,492....
