Are there enough dentists offices to keep this rag in business? This article starts out with wrong premises, and just goes downhill from there.

Always with the comparisons to 9/11 and Vietnam.

Why not compare it to the numbers of deaths attributable to TIME's "Man of the Year"s?

RE:”In exchange for our jobs, our livelihoods, the ability to pay our rent, how much death are we willing to bear? How many tens of thousands of lives are we willing to sacrifice so that the rest of us can work and live outside our homes? Eager to juice the economy before the November election, President Donald Trump is pushing hard for businesses to reopen. But public-health officials are raising the alarm”

Oh brother, most deaths were in NY and NJ Nursing homes due to lib governors actions.

Fire this author and see if her attitude changes

Gee, I don't kno, Haley. Why don't you go without paycheck for two months and write a piece about your conclusions?

"President Donald Trump is pushing hard for businesses to reopen."

The article starts with a lie: Trump is NOT pushing hard for all businesses, everywhere, to open immediately. He has promoted a phased-in approach that takes into consideration local conditions, the nature of the business, and ongoing safety precautions.

Many business owners - faced with bankruptcy - are pushing for a quicker re-opening, and most of the ones I've heard about are willing to impose extra safety conditions.

By the way, there is one aspect of this I haven't heard anyone address: throughout the epidemic, grocery stores and pharmacies have been allowed to remain open. Are the employees of those stores becoming sick in high numbers? (By "becoming sick," I don't mean testing positive for the virus, I mean getting sick enough to require medical treatment or hospitalization.)

If there is no evidence that these employees are taking a big risk, why shouldn't we allow other businesses to re-open, especially small businesses whose employees have less exposure to other people than cashiers at large grocery stores?

“Haley Sweetland Edwards”

The only thing missing in Haley’s name is the obligatory lefty hyphenation.

Awww... Poor TIME! Can't keep the restless natives under their (and the Dems) thumb long enough to destroy the Trump economy and thusly, America.

What a shame...

There are at least 330,000,000 people in this country. Eighty thousand is 0.024% of the total population. Using that number alone, it sounds large. Use that number as a percentage, it is almost insignificant.

People are born and die every day. The Wuhan flu is being blamed for far more deaths then actual.

“”President Donald Trump is pushing hard for businesses to reopen.”

False. I really wish he was. He could start by having the justice department come down on governors trampling on the People’s rights.

USA! USA! USA! (We will always win in the end. Not winning is not in our blood.)

There’s a reason Time magazine was sold for a grand total of ONE DOLLAR. Imagine the whole organization’s worth = $1, divided by how many employees, bosses/semi-bosses, etc.

The opinion expressed by the article and its author is less than thousandth worth than a dollar.

There were sensible ways to handle this virus but they were not found on FreeRepublic. With Surrender Fearpers running straight into the Progressive arms of government, criticisms of this article seem trite.

The Chicken Freepers haven’t posted their Hockey Stick graphs I’m so e time. But they are now claiming that all this tyrannical assault on liberty and our prosperity was just bound to happen anyway. Yep, they don’t beleive their hysteria had anything to do with our collapse.

I said from the beginning that the logic that led us into lockdown has no escape clause. If saving lives is worth sacrificing liberty then there is no winning the argument. There will always be more lives to be saved.

330,000,000 - population
2,900,000 - annual deaths
84,000 - WuFlu

Why is it ok to die from anything but Corona?
Answer= Orange Man bad.
Some idiot Freepers have a lot of explaining to do. While they collect their governemt checks, of course.

“Over the past 14 weeks, 84,000 Americans have died of COVID-19.”

But there has been a steep miraculous drop in accidental death, heart attacks, strokes, old age, flu, etc. New York and New Jersey have a huge financial incentive to claim every dead body from anything as Covid. And Dr. Birx said the stats from CDC are AT LEAST 25% off and she doesn’t trust anything coming out of there.

But yeah, 84,000.

Winston Churchill said that the USA always does the right thing, but only after trying everything else.

I’d like to believe that, but I’m not so sure. That was then, and this is now.

‘Over the past 14 weeks, 84,000 Americans have died of COVID-19.’

and that is an absolute lie; or to be more nuanced, a gross overstatement...
