We already have massive food lines. They are just invisible. It is all the cards, food stamp type stuff etc. used at the checkout line. It could get a LOT worse.
We need a structured well thought out return to work, soon.
Yeah! Let’s take the summer off!
Yeah let’s just go ahead and leave the economy down through April...or even May. Just print a few more trillions of dollars and we’ll bounce right back. /s

AND Soros, the swamp, the globalist, china, the evil rats and mediaVOMITS are as we speak uncorking their “WE FINALLY GOT ORANGE MAN BAD” Champagne bottle! And unfortunately it seems they might have..they took from him his only little lamb he had..he nourished it groomed it saw it grow then the evil selfish rich cabal took it from him! That is a story in the Old Testament about King David and Nathan the prophet! Read it and you’ll understand the meaning to my post!
Hello America. I hope you are enjoying your free, 45-day trial of Communism. If you wish to continue to enjoy all the advantages of full-on political control, price fixing and post-modern social-engineering, do nothing, and you automatically be enrolled for a life membership!
Easter..and our economy will roar back.
I’ll go along with the eeexxxtttrrraaa precautionary measure until Eater.
Our older and sicker folks are at risk.
Then i’m done.
And it’s not the one month that we shut down that destroyed everything. We can survive a month. Which is THE LONGEST it should be. That’s up in about less than 2 weeks.
It’s the panic that wreaked havoc.
Get the engine up by April 12 and we’ll be rocking
Stop this madness, now. Dr. Fraud should have to face the thousands of business who will shut down even though they don’t have a case within 100 miles of them.
I have noticed something. Fauci the Great comes out and says crap like this, and I paraphrase:
The models and projections have a flaw, they are only was good as the assumptions that they are based on which can change over time. But this latest projection of 200 to 300 thousand deaths is probably more in line with what we can expect, BUT DON’T HOLD ME TO THAT.
See how that worked? My past forecasts are bull snot because that is in the nature of modeling which has its limitations. But having said that as a means of absolution from my past crapola spews, let me pivot to my next one which you can count on. Unless of course, you can’t and we can just do this all over again.
Here is an idea. Why not just admit what the current data tells us and say: AND THE REST IS UNKOWN AND WE JUST CAN’T SAY. How about stopping the Stephen King thingy of horror projection and say that you just have no clue. How about telling the truth: We are going to go about this preparing for the absolute worst.
The other thing I notice is this little trick.
Fauci Il Duce’s projections are sacrosanct. Any projection of the collateral damage is “fantasy” “fiction” etc. and to be dismissed.
Trump needs to dump this guy as soon as possible. Well, not dump, but isolate. Fauci the functionary is sure good at the Stephen King stuff, because it perpetuates the problem. It is in his nature to perpetuate because he is a functionary that lives to prolong problems and make egg head presentations instead of focusing on the solutions.
To wit: There is no isolation and lockdown measure that Dr. Fauci the Funcionary has ever heard of that shouldn’t be done like, yesterday.
But a treatment?!?! Well, that needs to be studied and carefully considered and slow walked and downplayed and sat on. The solutions? Not so much. The problems, more please!!!
By this weekend we should have a pretty good idea of how things will be in the near future.
EBT cards are refilled on the 1st, what will happen when they find out there is NO FOOD because all the greedy people with jobs bought it all already.
Dr Death Fauci and liberal media are responsible for tanking our economy.
Well the doctors are pretty much running the show now and have Trump boxed in politically. If they say to keep the economy closed and Trump reopens it to save jobs but kills grandma, the Dems will attack.
So we’ll just have to deal with another Great Depression. Just hope Americans understand that’s what’s coming. I don’t think they do.
I believe at some point the populace, with no income to pay the people who produce food, will say F it and demand a return to normalcy.
As with any stats, you must take them with a grain of salt. I haven’t seen the Fed forecast, but this “could” means “worst case” scenario . . . and for how long?
The Great Depression had MANY states over 40% . . . for years. If you’re talking one or two weeks of 15%, yeah, that’s possible. It won’t stay that way for a quarter, though.
Oh noes! We all gonna starve.
Yes, Fauci essentially forced Trump’s hand and left with no choice but to extend until the end of April. Fauci claiming the deaths will be between 100,000 to 200,000 was pure speculation and fear mongering.
Real reason — Trump’s fault. /s
Fauci is a quack and an idiot. Trump ain’t much better listening to the like of that idiot.
“The St. Louis Fed projected on Monday the US unemployment rate could reach 32% unemployment — higher than the Great Depression!”
And it’s from an entirely different cause and it won’t result in another Great Depression.
The Great Depression was caused by a massive collapse of the American banking system which lasted for a decade.
We don’t have that situation now and the Covid panic won’t make one happen.
As soon as everyone is able to return to work the economy will begin a strong recovery. At worst we get a very nasty but short lived recession.
