“I think they took Trump’s “Back in Business by Easter” to heart.”
totally ... that and the fact that it’s extremely likely that hyroxychorolquine + azithromycin will cure COVID-19, which would mean no medical care system surge and thus no big deal as most people don’t actually appear to get very sick from this virus, and those few who do can be cured pronto, meaning no need for this BS “lockdown” and fascist “cower in place” orders ...
“What happens if that doesn’t pan out?”
we’re totally F-ed anyway in that case ...
NO, this thing is like when the weather service predicts a blizzard, the media hypes it, the governor declares a state of emergency and then we get just a trace of snow. This thing will run its course regardless of all these stay at home orders, etc... but it was never going to be a tenth or even a hundredth as bad as the worst case scenarios hyped by the media. We are going to get breathless reports from the media about more and more cases because of increased testing, but the truth is in a lot of places this thing is close to peaking and then fading away.
