In this case, bankruptcy. Failure to open this nation up is going to lead to a lot more of this. It is either open up right away, or we go into a great depression. Mark this post.

I agree.

I felt if we started to open up on Easter, as was suggested by Pres. Trump, we make it back economically rather quickly.

But we are not opened up right now ,and it looks like some States will keep the shutdowns going, and that is enough for me to see a much longer recovery period, maybe years, and more bankruptcies and thousands of jobs lost. -Tom

Trump should have gone with his instincts Easter weekend but Deborah and Fauci stormed the office with their BS charts and talked him out of it. That was the moment which may cost him his re-election and doom the country.

I fear you are correct - Mississippi is opening up restaurants (with capacity restrictions) this Thursday...the Blue States will drag their feet until they are actually bankrupt and then demand everyone else pay for their malfeasance and for the mismanagement of decades under Dem rule...hope they get what they’re asking for and not what they demand...(might want to read it a few times before anyone claims I want them bailed out...).

” I agree. I felt if we started to open up on Easter, as was suggested by Pres. Trump, we make it back economically rather quickly.”

That may work in many cases, but not for cruise ships - for them, if they don’t figure out how to keep people from infecting each other, the media will continue to report on their ‘cruises from hell’, until they invest the money needed to fix the problem (in their HVAC systems).

...and don’t see a way they can fix it, without financial help.

States which are shuttered longer are MOSTLY BLUE states.
I am in Florida, which will open sooner than NY & CA.

What will make me very angry is bailout of mis-managed states like IL & CA by other states.
