This is what happens when most of your leaders are in the target demographic for the given disease and they are utterly isolated from the economic impacts of what they are proposing.

I wonder what they are hearing in their classified briefings and why has none of that leaked yet?

Well if there is more to the story, they had better tell us. Because if they think they can take steps this drastic while keeping us in the dark, they are idiots. This will not last a week. I don't pretend to speak for all Americans, but I do base it on American history.

Food for thought...posted elsewhere here

You take the early WA cases out of the equation and the mortality rate in the US is currently at .58%. South Korea which had a lot initial deaths (before any known treatment methods) is holding steady at .91%.

——————————————————————————————Here in Washington state we are flattening out. Last week 100 out of 1000 tested were positive. Yesterday 100 out of 2500 per positive. The University of Washington has tested over 10,000 and now has drive-through testing set up.

Kaiser Permanente here in Washington begins testing the rendesivir vaccine under a grant from NIH. We are apparently the 5th city to do this vaccine testing. The first began a week or so at the University of Nebraska in Omaha. Yaknow, there in so-called deplorable heartlands.

Trump should start scaling back. The over reaction is over done. To me, the case for this reaction has not been made

+1000

[faithhopecharity]

this extreme kind of talk or action does not appear necessary
(so far, anyway)

[TheConservativeBanker]

Except that he is a Republican. This is freaking insane. Are there any adults in government anymore. These clowns seem to want to provoke a depression to take the US back to the Stone Age.

PT, avoid discretionary travel and gatherings of 10! People!

“real question..
how exactly do you determine what is essential in this situation?”

Bartenders are ESSENTIAL!!!!

How else does one get good single malt without You-Know-Who finding out?

It’s just “Social Distance”, hun.
Ordered by the Goobermint, ya know.

With wussy Republiocrats like this, America can never be strong again. I think the FAKE MEDIA will defeat Trump's re-electio in 2020. Have you been to your local grocery store or Costco in the past couple of days? Have you listened to the jackals in Trump's pressers in the past week?

I just don't see DJT prevailing ( I hope I am wrong but do not have a good feeling having the destruction of our media in the past couple of decades)

Banks will be banned from foreclosing, utilities will be banned from disconnecting, Landlords will be banned from evicticions, Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria! We’re talking Old Testament Biblical stuff here.

“He’s a buddy of Hugh Hewitt which automatically make me dislike him.”

Being a buddy of Hugh is not a point in the plus column. That is a negative.

Time for the masks to come off. Thank you, Father.

[VanDeKoik]

“I wonder what they are hearing in their classified briefings”

It is already well-explained why they are wanting this. It’s obnoxious and inconvenient, but 100% logical.

[Texas Eagle]

Where's that money going to come from, Tom?

Oh. Right. Us.

Gonna take money from us to give to us.

With you getting a cut as a service fee.

[GreyFriar]

give him the dumb shit of the day award.

[BBQToadRibs]

If you want to crush an economy, this is how you crush an economy.

[DouglasKC]

give him the dumb shit of the day award.

You need to be watching the President right now.

[gibsonguy]

I grow more pessimistic by the day. There’s no reason to believe this gets better anytime soon. Closing everything down WILL crash the economy and when it does the President gets the blame.

Kaiser Permanente here in Washington begins testing the rendesivir vaccine under a grant from NIH. We are apparently the 5th city to do this vaccine testing.

Rendesvir is NOT a vaccine. It is an antiviral treatment already tried with success against Ebola, SARS and MERS. Everyone needs to please stop with the vaccine hype. A vaccine is not a cure but this antiviral very well could be. You may have heard Pres Trump discussing antiviral treatments before he mentions vaccines as a side note.

Let’s try our best to not misinform in this time of heightened panic.
