What really steams is there has been no effort made to find ways for small businesses to stay open during this. With a little caution and creativity many closed businesses could be opened if the effort was made. Instead the Governors took a meat axe to the problem leaving thousands of small businesses in the wreckage.

I've mentioned to someone who works for the county that they had better start planning for a huge revenue loss. As far as I know there are no plans in place for the knock-on effects the political decisions are causing. I get the impression they believe everything will return to normal once the stay at home order is removed.

Therein lies the problem that most of the medical eggheads aren't getting. If 1/3 of people have no job after the lockdown ends, there's no "getting back to normal". And at some point, printing greenbacks to solve the problem is going to result in serious inflation. Get ready for it.

the mainstream media brainwashed everyone!

No. People allowed themselves to be panicked. They succumbed to fear, and this is the result.

These academics don’t understand this nation is walking a tightrope of either a medical system collapse or an economic catastrophe. A course must be charted that gives equal consideration to both.

the fearpers think that sinking our country and destroying the lives of millions and burdening our children and grandchildren with unbearable obstacles is somehow healthy....

I see a future of increased suicides, broken families, murders and assualts and robberies.....

the vulnerable should have been isolated, not the entire country.....

would have been better to tell everyone to wear a mask than to tell everyone they had to be poverty stricken....

I think this siege will push many smaller community hospitals to close....they've lost too much money...I don't know how my hospital will survive....they've kept so many empty beds available for the "surge" and have had to send staff home....

ironic if the ones pushing the siege are the ones left without a hospital to go to when they have a mva or heart attack, and die from that....

I can understand fear of the virus....I'm in a bad risk group...but people can practice self isolation and good hygiene habits and be fine....

Bill the Chicoms.

You laugh?

Discount their Treasury bills.

Our debt to the Communists should be marked “paid in full” to cover this.

“...people like (sic) have become a minority...”

Ain’t that the hard truth? Preach it, Brother.
