That should allow sufficient time for most of the really small businesses to fail.
That is too long.
The fix will kill the economy.
End it on Easter Sunday.
While we sleep, the President is getting the Malaria Cocktail to every governor in every state. If the governor wants to kill people...he/she can just horde it....or if he/she wants to make people well, they’ll distribute it to every Pharmacy in the country with restrictions. The Board that overlooks Pharmacies has the power to walk into any dispensary at any time and review their books.
They can reopen whenever they want as far as I am concerned.
However, this is my perspective on at least some businesses.
Yesterday, right before I shut Dan Bongino off for yelling and cursing at me over the economy, he complained that his friend, who had recently opened a baseball card shop, could not stay in business, because he hasn’t had a customer in three weeks.
While I feel for this person, even if he opens his shop today, I won’t be shopping in it. I don’t need baseball cards. I’m not going to risk contracting CCP-19 for baseball cards, or comic books or any other such items. I don’t have the money for them either. I’m also not working.
So I don’t know what to tell Dan or his friend. There’s going to be some economic fallout from this, even if it ends right now.
Thank the good Lord for Mnuchin, Kudlow, Miller, and Navarro. At least there are some sane voices in the administration advising the President. I worry that May 1 is too late, but at least the conversation is starting.
IMHO, what they should be doing is informing the American people about the calamity that is being unleashed. Let them see models of cancer deaths from postponed exams, heart-disease deaths from postponed surgery, and suicides. Let these models be compared with the crap CV ones. Until the People see this, there will not be enough support for opening up.
I hope you’re right, Mr. Secretary.
Because by my read America’s patience runs out at 11:59PM on April 30.
PLENTY of time to crash the economy completely before May. And watch: the Gay State governors will ignore any federal guidelines to let people go back to work. And churches, they especially want to keep the churches clamped down. Habits are formed in only 6 weeks. The Demonrats can cut church attendance in half just by waiting at least 6 weeks.
You think America is divided now? Wait till some states are open for business and others are under involuntary quarantine.
Where do you think most people will want to live?
At that rate and with the oncoming economic carnage, the people lost to the wuhan flu will be considered the lucky ones.
I thin stadiums and concert venues etc need those thermo imaging things to identify when someone has a temperature. That would help stop the spread of any flu.
If they know what’s good for them, they will open BEFORE Mother’s Day. Nothing like a bunch of pissed off Mothers to gain attention. Especially those over 65.
Fauci running to every media outlet to contradict in 3.....2.....1....
I think businesses could re-open today.
There are segments in many areas of the country that could be re-opened right now.
#OUAN Open up America Now!!
Open America NOW. Mandated closure of business or restriction on movement / gathering is a deprival of liberty and unconstitutional. Trump needs to issue an executive order stating such. Land of the FREE, not land of the tyrants.
Just as the lockdowns were regionally (by County or State) phased in they should be phased out once over the peak death rates considering risk metrics of those allowed to return (age, underlying conditions, BMI, ...).
Could someone tell him to reopen the companies that make milk containers???
600 +++ producing dairy cows went to auction/slaughter on Tuesday in rural Nevada due to NO CONTAINERS to put the processed milk into.
SIX HUNDRED!!!!
It should open next week. This is simply to destroy small businesses and Trump is as guilty as Pelosi at this point. Even Biden knows this is a fraud.
He thinks in May? We should be opening TODAY!
