President Trump’s suggestion that he would like to see the country begin reopening by Easter, which is April 12, has met with a lot of skepticism. But it may not be that far-fetched.

Parts of it will likely will be and others not so much.

I don’t know. I am only seeing Worldometers.info, and I’m not sure how close their raw numbers are. Maybe John Hopkins would have it, but I can’t find the information from them.

Far fetched? He can say anything for that day and poof! there’s the answer to far fetched. Sort of silly.

He’ll open up the lesser infected areas and will regret it two weeks later.

“Schools here in NY have been postponed another 2 weeks”

schools in virginia have closed through the end of the school year.

Aren’t the main people to say that PDJT’s desire to reopen the country by Easter is far-fetched the “orange man bad” media? Correction welcome.

Noting that Easter Day is regarded as a moveable holy day, traditionally, not biblically, the first Sunday after the ecclesiastical full moon that occurs on or soonest after 21 March, personally I don’t have a problem if it is celebrated later this year given the circumstances.

Only a few have masks in stores now, because they aren’t available and we were told not to buy them. We were also told they didn’t work, but that was a lie to keep us from buying them.

It’s safer if everyone wears a mask. The masks are better at preventing particles from spreading when someone coughs or sneezes than they are at keeping particles out.

If everyone wears a mask the liklihood of transmission drops dramatically. That’s why we saw videos of Chinese police slapping people who went into public without masks.

Why such a discrepancy between Johns Hopkins and Worldometer on the number of recovered?

Worldometer: 116k cases, 1943 deaths, 3224 recovered
JHU: 116k cases, 1891 deaths, 921 recovered.

It’s the 2020 Scamdemic! Destroy the economy and hope Trump loses in the fall.
This fake drama needs to be exposed and the authors punished, with extreme prejudice!

Good question. The fact that the number of deaths between the two sources is similar makes me wonder how they are determining the "recovered" counts.

BTW, where are you seeing the Johns Hopkins data? Thanks.

She’s talking about Gov. Cooper in North Carolina. He just issued a stay at home order starting Monday through April 30th. Plus, the schools right now are closed until May 15th.

> “Can you imagine a Democrat governor’s saying, “Oh, sorry. I overreacted.””

Not to mention should there be new cases or covid deaths after the shutdown orders are rescinded.

Oh boy, the liar media would have field days lasting until election time.
