senator wussy needs to go home and grow a spine before he returns to washington

Ridiculous moron.

They’ve lost their fricking minds....ALL OF THEM!

Here we go.

Clearly, it’s not the flu.

[BipolarBob]

stipends won’t cover the bills. What is he talking about???

[wiseprince]

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

[JonPreston]

but he’s a conservative?

[uranium penguin]

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

Walmart workers ARE essential?
grocery and pharmacy workers ARE essential?
Truckers and gas stations ARE essential?
Farmers and farmhands, dairy workers?
Garbage collectors?
Pet Stores/ employees?

[1Old Pro]

Trump speaking now, wants no discretionary travel, no restaurant or bar visits, STAY HOME if sick (no wonder food marts are empty), older population need to be protected from non-thinking millennials.

Please tell the single mom who works as a waitress or a hair stylist that her job is non-essential and there’s no money coming in for 6 weeks.

Please tell the person who owns the building that the hair salon rents that there’s no money for rent.

Please tell the bank that loaned the money to buy the building there no money for mortgage.

These idiots who have never had to meet a payroll in their lives are destroying this country.

After these statist asswipes manage to kick off a civil war, I'm headed to THEIR houses for more supplies.

I'm not saying there's not a virus on the loose and/or it's not serious, BUT WE'VE ALREADY PASSED THE ABSURDITY POINT !

I take care of an 87yo mother and this shit has her scared to death .. AND THAT REALLY PISSES ME OFF !

There are so many stupid ideas floating around out there from stupid politicians and stupid press personalities it’s hard to keep track of them.— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) March 16, 2020

Does this mean they’ll shut down the NBA?

[Antoninus]

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.

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.

[faithhopecharity]

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

[cowboyusa]

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

[Cheerio]

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)
