All that you say is true.
Do I think April 30 is the right day to reopen? Honestly, I do not, it’s probably too soon.
That being said, it’s just my opinion, it doesn’t carry any weight. I don’t see any stopping it though, and I’m also not sure that it should be stopped. A lot of people want to do this, and it needs to be done at some point. It doesn’t seem like they can be deterred, so if it is going to happen, I’m just going to pray that it works.
Because if it doesn’t work... all sorts of hurt and pain will be coming our way.
We really are in a very precarious position, and President Trump carries the weight of every American soul on his shoulders. And it could be argued that he carries the weight of all souls on earth on his shoulders.
Two things:
1. Trump is going to leave it to the states as much as possible. That means NY is staying locked down but other states aren’t, for example. That means it’s more likely to work because the people in states like NY know that they are more likely to get it.
2. The daily press conferences. When things change, he lets us know and makes a good case for his decision. The fights with the fake reporters make for a good show, so people watch these things. And don’t forget that he has an enormous following, despite all the venom we see at the pressers. Many people are following his advice, although the fighting always leads in the news.
Just go with the flow.
I have several friends who have had very mild cases of this. That’s the story that’s not being told—not until the testing is universal anyway. The horror is when someone gets an enormous dose of it, like from someone they have been living with. I’m making a few undocumented assumptions here but I think some of them will turn out to be valid.
Some people won’t learn until it hits them in the face. People are just too eager to get out. Not that I’ve seen many staying home what with all the Easter tourists.
Chris this lockdown was to NOT overload our hospitals if we don’t get people out there this damn virus will come back as soon as they let us out!,We need herd immunity PERIOD!!!
