I’m pretty sure they had small businesses in 1918 too.
There was also a war on, so many of those people who would have been unemployed were busy fighting in the war.
This was Mar 11. There was an article published today that had quotes from February, that the flubros were portraying as Fouci had to backtrack. He did not. He was a little dismissive in February, he wised up in March as these comments make clear.
Yeah, finding good treatments would change the outcome and the response dramatically.
I have the same problem with the Restart Now crowd. When Trump talks restart, he’s basically challenging the nation to figure out how. He said the date would have to be flexible. And he’s also letting the nation know the economic shutdown isn’t going to be forever.
I think the PeakProsperity guy has it right. If everyone wears a mask, it reduces the risk dramatically. But masks have to be available. Maybe we can get there by Trump’s date.
I wouldn’t restore the flights until this has died down everywhere. Or restore the flights only with a 14 day quarantine and a negative test at the end for everyone.
Sounds like the cruise ships are on their own. Trump said he liked the idea that they need to be registered in the U.S. and paying U.S. taxes to get help. It’s a karma cruise.
I’m pretty sure that every country has woken up to the risks of foreign dependency. Trump will have a LOT more support for protective tariffs and mandates that certain products be made in the U.S., going forward.
Yeah, I've never seen so much denial on Free Republic in my life. It is a river. The nile is nothing compared to this river.
