Trump, who is heavily dependent on economic recovery for his hopes of re-election in November, spoke in favor of reopening measures at a Fox News town hall at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington on Sunday evening...

One of my greatest fears is that Trump falls for the conspiracies and narratives and moves to end the lock-downs too soon without adequate contact tracing and testing in place. If he should do that, with the result that Covid-19 will spread again, he will not get reelected. The left has already been trying to portray his handling of the crisis as inept; the last thing we need is for him to adopt any policy that doesn't continue to curtail the spread of virus.

I wonder if some of the pressure to reopen and pretend Covid-19 is not a problem is coming from the left, so as to guarantee Trump's defeat in the upcoming elections.

One of my greatest fears is that idiot governors thinking like you will continue to drive small business into the ground with unconstitutional closure orders, and that they will empower more 'gimme-dat' brown shirts to enforce 'contact tracing' and mandatory quarantines for 'possible exposure', all paid for from the taxes of people put out of work.

Take your government contact tracing and stuff it.

The problem with Trump is his personal vanity. If he had embraced universal masking, we wouldn’t be talking about lockdowns. That’s the one thing places with low case numbers, death tolls and limited or no lockdowns have in common.
