The Twisted Political Considerations That Are Going To Extend The Lockdowns And Deepen This Economic Depression
TMIN ^ | 20 April 20 | Michael Snyder

For better or worse, COVID-19 has become the most important political issue of the 2020 election. And it is very unfortunate that this pandemic has erupted in an election year, because for many of our politicians finger pointing has become much more important than finding solutions. In particular, Democrats seem quite eager to exploit any stumbles by President Trump, and many on the left are absolutely thrilled that Joe Biden’s poll numbers have improved over the past couple of weeks. But if this pandemic rapidly subsides over the next few months and the economy dramatically improves by November, that could potentially be enough to put Trump over the top. The stakes are incredibly high for both sides, many regard this upcoming election as the most important in modern American history, and no quarter will be given as operatives from both parties seek any advantage that they can possibly get.

From the very beginning of his presidency, top Democrats, the mainstream media and activists on the left have usually responded to any stance that Trump has taken by immediately taking the exact opposite position.

If Trump said the sky was blue, they would say it was red. And if Trump said that the sky was red, they would say that it was blue.

They expect to test 20 million Americans a day? At best they would have to test each individual every 3 weeks or so. Work through the population of 330 million and then start all over again. A complete waste of time. There is no benefit to this.

Some would like it to be closed but if the ones open and do well then the others will have no choice. Plus, politicians need money to hand out favors. Need tax revenue

Biden’s poll numbers have improved because he hasn’t said anything.

At this point in time all this testing will accomplish is to verify that COVID-19 is now part of the biosphere of planet earth. That's it. It's now a follow the money scenario of who all is going to rake in cash for the test kits & lab work.

"But most Democratic governors are not willing to even consider such a move yet, because ending the lockdowns now would be seen as an admission that Trump and the anti-lockdown protesters were right."

"Plus, many of them realize that ending the lockdowns “too quickly” could give Trump a boost in November."

Flat out wrong. “Testing” keeps getting thrown around by people who have no clue what the testing actually is. There’s two tests one is an antigen test that proves an active SARS COVID II infection the other is an serological antibodies test that looks for the evidence of prior infection and the immune system response to the condition of surviving COVID19 the illness cased by SARS COVID II. The antibodies test need only be given once if the person tests positive for antibodies AND negative for the.antigen then that person is a survivor and probably immune for a period of time to the current strain. No need to test this person again and again. If someone is positive for the antigen then they have an active COVID19 infection and should be quarantined with continued testing until they clear the active infection stage. Then with a negative antigen test and a positive antibodies test they are cleared and can enjoy unlimited movement as they are now part of herd immunity population.

Ons suspects that dem governors and mayors want to extend the prison-at-home as long as possible because they find it so much easier to “govern” when nobody is allowed out of the house. Too, they find the exercise useful as practice for the day they assume absolute power.

There you go stating facts and accurate information again. Can’t allow that. Remember the low info hordes control our election outcomes.

Have to use memes and snappy sound bites to make a difference.

I mourn for the dearth of critical thinking and discourse.

The healthy now have to prove they aren’t sick. This is insane. If you get it, go to the doctor, get a test and get treated. Open up.

Partner, if we keep delaying going back to work we will have a "Depression in this country" or a very serious "Recession".

When you go into the voting booth in November would you rather have a President Trump who has been in the business world than a DA like Biden running this country. I think Biden has been in politics way too long. His son is also very dirty.

Do any of you believe that the testing they'll be doing is correct or just lies like the numbers they give out daily?

Ideal Rehab has received approval to import a serology test from Healgen Scientific, a China-based medical-device manufacturer, according to the distributor's law firm, Fox Rothschild. The company hopes to obtain 50,000 tests this month after delays in shipments from China, Fox Rothschild told Business Insider in a statement.

The first round of tests will go to providers in New York and New Jersey,

The rat governors are complicit. We all knew this from the beginning.
