Let’s get ‘er going in places that are lightly affected before entire communities lose all their small businesses.
Trump is the only leader the US has right now. He is the only one thinking weeks and months ahead not 1 day at a time. We need to think beyond containing the Virus and make sure the US Economy survives it.
The number of critical cases is 5%. The total number of US Cases is about 85,000. total US population is about 331,000,.000. We cannot destroy the US, and the Worlds economy out of panic and fear.
There has to start being some rational thoughtful cost benefit analysis. This “fear” mindset we developed over the last few decades needs to be fixed. We throw ourselves into a panic and demand “Government Do SOMETHING” just about weekly over some “crisis” without ever thinking through the costs and problems the “solution” creates. This response to the Virus is the best example
People have to deal with the world as it is right now, not as they wish it would work. There is NOTHING any human can do to make you 100% safe. We need to stop thinking it can be made so.
The US Economy cannot be locked for months without triggering a 2nd Great Depression.
Corporations employ tend of millions of people. Corporations are everything from your local privately own gas station down the street to massive operations like Ford or Delta Airlines.
Corporations have debt they have to play just like people. For example, When they build a new store or plant, they borrow money to finance the capital expense. In addition, they do not usually pay cash for daily supply delivers. Those are purchased are made on credit with 15-30-45-60 days to make payment. All those debt payments still have to be made even thought the Government shut them down or put a lock down on their customers.
Here is an example. I work for a Food Manufacturing corporation that employs about 5,000 people nation wide. Due to the loss of business from the slow down, they just cut all Executive and Sr Management salaries 20%. If this goes one 2 more weeks, they will cut middle management salaries, if it goes on a month they have to cut all salaries. After that they start laying off worker bees like me and shutting down production lines. Why? Because they have to have the money to make their debt payments now and hope they can make it up to employees later.
We are lucky. We are considered an “Essential Business” so we are not shut down like the Airlines or the Car companies. The US, and the World, are on the brink of a financial crisis like nothing seen since the 1929.
Those credit bills have to be paid even if businesses are shut down by Government order. The people supplying them need to be paid so they can pay their creditor and so on and so on.
If they are not paid, this will trigger a cascading financial default on scale with what happened in 1929. We not talking about just crashing our economy here, we talking trashing the worlds economy if this is not addressed
The US has to be getting back to work in weeks, not months like the hysteric liars in the professional political class, and their shameless toadies in the Fake News, are trying to convince you.
Keep the socialist states LOCKED DOWN per their DICKTATORS. The rest of America can enjoy life.

The damage done to the republic by these MOFOS is not calculable.
I’ll take MY chances and be responsible for MY life you POS politicians and propagandists.
Your distancing can be no more than 1 inch apart on the wall. Not all of our men have 20/20 vision.
YOU’VE caused enough damage.
Will he depose the governors that are implementing social distancing?
Or will he prevent them from enforcing it?
Most people want to go back to work, but they would rather see where this thing goes first.
But if POTUS tries to drive it without the governors and most of the country behind him, it will be a failure.
We don’t even have enough masks for health workers.
In South Korea, people who enter stores, restaurants and other enclosed area have ro go through temperature scans, much of the time accomplished with temperature cameras.
When everyone starts mingling again, this will be absolutely necessary.
Great solution to the hoaxdemic. And do not sign the bill robbing our treasury.
Of course the US has the highest count of confirmed cases, but it is because the US has conducted the most testing. Since most of our testing is on people with symptoms, we by definition will have the most CONFIRMED cases. Other countries likely have more actual cases than we do, they simply haven’t conducted testing to confirm them.
The case count is irrelevant, unless it includes factors relating to testing. The death count per capita is what matters, and for the US it is very low.
Yes, Governors should start releasing restrictions county by county.
