Seems kind of ridiculous and conspirational-minded to think that Democrats want to extend the timespan of the coronavirus just so they can keep us locked down. What would be the point? Democrats want what's best for everybody, just like Republicans do, they just have different ideas on how to go about it. (Actually, Democrats are more about what's best for everybody, Republicans are more about what's best for themselves.) I guess you could theorize that the point is to give the environment a chance to recover a little.. which would still be ridiculous--not even Democrats care that much, but it would actually be the wise thing to do, because humanity and the rest of the earth are going to be totally screwed within the next few generations, so there'd be no point in complaining about it even if it were true.
