Trump is responsible here, for protecting this nation, he let the plague inside and get out of control. The beginning of woes hasnt even started, we are at the beginning of the beginning of misery about to come down on this great nation. He had the power to stop it and chose not to. It is his fault. - Gulfman

This thing would take down the economy whether we tried to stop it or not.
I saw that it was getting out of control in Japan and S.Korea three weeks from last Friday. On Monday the market caught up to me and the started falling.
The market fall would have happened whether the MSM said anything or not.
As soon as people started looking at why the market fell, they would have started doing the social distancing. Maybe not as severe as we are now that government officials are behind it. But once people started getting sick around them the social distancing would have occurred and occurred hard.
Talking about it and getting an action plan in place to slow the spread is going to end up reducing the fear. It’s going to allow the market to rebound faster. There will be more trust in what the government tells us than if they had just remained quiet and not addressed it.
Ultimately the course we are on is the best course for the market and the economy.

It’s a copycat world, once other countries started doing it, it was only a matter of time we’d be doing it.

Actually, I’m waiting for some ding-dong talking head to blame it on Global Warming, but I think they are all busy trying to figure out how to blame it on President Trump.

... to the best of my knowledge FR started in 1997, eight years after Ronald Reagan passed away. Reagan left office after two terms in 1989 he died in 2004.
I've visited the Reagan library in Simi Valley, also a smaller museum in Santa Barbara (close by the train station) that is mostly about the history of his nearby ranch.

I am surprised and maybe even a little shocked by my fellow Freepers. I really kind of thought we were all kind-of like minded (ya, I know, conservatives). I am surprised and maybe even a little shocked by my fellow Freepers. I really kind of thought we were all kind-of like minded (ya, I know, conservatives). I enjoy reading the differences of opinion. If I have something to contribute, I put in my 2 cents. Otherwise, I just stay quiet and go about my business in my own way, without worrying about or trying to control what others believe,

Well the question is whether or not it makes sense to do it.
If we don’t do it, the hospitals will be overwhelmed. More people would die than if the hospitals aren’t overwhelmed. Public fear will be greater with the greater number of deaths. And that fear translates into less economic activity.
On the other hand, if we can show through massive testing that we know where the illness is and is not. That allows some people to be more brave about economic activity.
And if we can keep the death rate down to 1% instead of the 3% if the hospitals get overwhelmed, then that also makes people less fearful.
I think we put the air travel ban on China in first. They copied us.

But with the exclusion of older unstable immune centric people are succumbing.I have no idea what "immune-centric" is supposed to mean. I'm guessing that you meant to write:
With the exception of older people with compromised immune systems, no one is succumbing.
Right?

Yesterday, I found myself becoming frustrated while sifting through the Coronavirus threads. I was attempting to find a basis from which to post comments that might add something to the discussion. But I eventually realized that would not be possible for me due to my lack of knowledge on the subject; I finally realized that there was nothing I could add. My frustration ebbed when I realized how valuable it was to read so much info from so many sources- it was a learning experience. Just lurking here is valuable.
God Bless.
