It's time (beyond time, actually) for Trump to be bold and green light the country getting back to work. That will put huge pressure on the cities, counties and states that did their own lockdown. The unemployment and suffering are going to be epic as it is.
The time to end this is NOW. This virus is no different than anything else that has come our way and we never shut the government down in the past.
The idiot talking heads like Fauci, have been WRONG, just like the Imperial College modelling. All agenda driven.
Also, I think cuomo is lying about deaths to try to justify his cry for more ventilators (which he got busted lying about).
Time to end it and get back to work.
How about looking at data first? Your opinion is data free.
Trump is showing all his talents. He will make sure we have all the supplies and meds we need....and one state at a time based on active cases....release them from this isolation policy. NY to be released last.
Good observations.
You make good sense.
Everyone knows better than Trump.
Of course. That’s because they all have access to better scientists and better data than he does. And because they’re generally just smarter than him.
the JAPP contingent arrives!! Just another psycho paranoid.
Very good.
I will only add that if you live in Michigan or Vegas and show any of the symptoms, get the heck out of that state to get proper treatment elsewhere.
yes, please.
There’s no money in a $20 cure.
My thought too. Limit the capacities in church etc use staggered seating in the restaurants meaning every other table, bring back half of the wait staff. This can be done if it is allowed to happen. This could easily descend into an idiotic red state/blue state thing.
The 15 days are just about up. He needs to discuss lower populated areas to plan for gradual reopening next Monday a week from tomorrow. We need a week to confirm that distancing has had an effect. Also to see what medium size cities are dealing with in their health systems.
Social distancing should continue but with a parallel opening of business and commerce where possible.
I’m retired but y’all need to get back to work to get my 401k back up!!
yup enpugh bullshiite
The prohibition has to work both ways to be effective.
That's just quarantining by county.
In Virginia, the latest death count from coronavirus is 22. Eight of those deaths were in a single senior care facility (skilled nursing care home). Deaths in all other locations: 14 total in a state with 2019 population of 8,59 million.

Oh my god, I mentioned data. All the know nothings are upset.
Easter weekend may be a good target. What is missing right now is good data on the spread of the virus. 2 weeks from now (with much more availability of testing) we should have enough data to make some decisions.
What is needed is data from both viral testing (what is being done now which tells us do you have the virus now) and antibody testing (have you been exposed). The new Abbott 5 minute test and similar tests for instance will tell if you actively have the virus. When widely available will allow for triage decisions for treatment, home isolation etc.
Availability of serum antibody testing (have you been exposed and developed an immunize response to the virus) will give a lot of information to say yes, you can return to work.
None of these are perfect and there will not be 100% availability but we can then start making rational decisions about reopening things. This is coming but probably a couple weeks away at best.
Only he can do it - but big state Democrat governors have their marching orders and will not pull back their lockdowns.
