“ All three of you gentlemen suffer from two fallacies: 1) the fallacy that the public health threat of the virus requires the destruction of the economy 2) the false choice that we must not only accept the deal with all its snares cut secretly by a very few individuals of dubious conservative credentials, but we must pull our forelocks and kowtow to that instrument of our undoing or face political as well as economic destruction.”
On 1) you are dead wrong...I DO NOT believe the threat of the virus requires the destruction of the economy. But I know the public reaction requires it, and it is ridiculous to attempt to go against the public consensus that the virus must addressed at all costs. It is as wise to do that as it is to stand on a beach and command the tidal wave to go back to the ocean.
And on 2), once you understand that you cannot stand against the tidal wave, you must take what action you can, seek the high ground, in order to come out on the other side with as much intact as you can.
The people, the masses, are driving this action. Go ahead, stand against them, you will accomplish absolutely nothing.

The Democrats and fake news and now many Republicans will fight it all the way...
They need to random test like they are taking a poll to see how many in the random groups have the virus...Those who have the virus with no symptoms and those with mild symptoms don't get counted in the overall picture...The death rate is probably far lower than they will admit...Right now it's like contacting only registered Democrats to see whether they will vote Democrat or Republican in the next election...
After a couple of weeks people need to start going back to work...If they refuse, replace them...A certain amount of people die of pneumonia brought on by the flu every year...No one shuts businesses down over the flu virus...Like with the flu, we need to take our chances...It it's going to kill you if you go to work, it's eventually going to get into your quarantined home...
