I was merely giving the rational provided by the President.
As another poster said upthread, the virus was an unknown at first. We didn't know how deadly it was. We only knew that it was overwhelming the hospitals in the major cities hit.
20/20 hindsight is wonderful, but the President had to make his decisions in real time. And, given the information he had, I believe he did what was right at the time.
I absolutely concur.
I will buy a 2 week lockdown until we knew more about the disease. I can’t fault the president for that even though I think it was the wrong decision. However where we are now is beyond ridiculous. The first wave is over hospitals are empty and the economy is in the tank with more damage occurring daily. It is long past time to end this
