The clock is ticking. In yesterday’s presser Trump seemed to get it, Pence seemed to get it, and even Fauci seemed to acknowledge it.

Dr. Tony has been given 30 days to mitigate. After that America opens for business and whatever happens happens.

We’ve got to start reopening long before 30 days. If we start next week, I think we might survive - although it will be difficult.

People are afraid and angry. I noticed that New York City is beginning to board up its stores. They’re expecting trouble soon.

We have to get moving on this right away.

I can tell you what's going to happen if some inconsiderate SOB puts me in the hospital with coronavirus. He better hope I don't make it out.

Like a lagging indicator, these kinds of opinion pieces are simply mirroring existing trends and emerging reality. In other words, Trump is going to give the go signal within a week, perhaps something as symbolic as this Easter Sunday.

Will it be because of the growing chorus of wailing cries demanding social freedom and economic liberty? Perhaps, but the main reason will be simpler: there's no there, there.

Here's what it looks like graphically. We are currently tracking Italy by 8 days (from dates of first CV deaths). In order to match the scary IHME model estimates, we'd have to go back and track Italy by 18 days. Yeah, those days where they were experiencing high double digit growth in fatalities and were sort of out of control.

It's done; time to move on. We have massive capacity coming quickly on line in terms of facilities, staffing, equipment, supplies, as well as expanding clinical knowledge, to directly attack/control the virus. If any hotspots were to (re)emerge, we now have the ability to focus & direct resources towards any specific cities/regions.

Get your masks ready, boys & girls, and get ready to rumble.

I agree with the article. If I can stand in line at Costco for three hours just to get a chance at tp and social distance then I think I can handle the same precautions at other places. Let’s not ruin a great country.

Yes, I got the same impression, even from Fauci.
