Trump didn’t ruin our economy.
Look at what China did -- and one of their provinces just ordered 200,000 body bags. Look at Italy.
"or maybe ever since Trump first questioned Barack Obama's claim of being born in the U.S."
We were biologically attacked by China and the Soroses of the world. Time to flatten certain areas of the globe and certain individuals.
The Fake News Media can pivot on a dime and change their attack in the blink on an eye.
The federal guidelines I got on a postcard in the mail are very reasonable and non-binding. The only economy-hurter in there is telling people not to dine in restaurants.
The massive lockdowns and shutdowns and curfews are the doings of state and local authorities.
Trump was put in a box....he was damned if he did and damned if he didn’t. No way he wanted to shut down America, but the left would have been screaming :BLOOD ON HIS HANDS” for every death!
“Trump and his capitalism put millions out of work for nothing!”
After America is finally destroyed by corruption the people who are to blame for it’s destruction will blame capitalism.
I used to have some respect for American Thinker, but their coverage of the coronavirus pandemic has been appalling. They’re on my sh!t list now.
Trump didn’t ruin our economy.
They are going to blame Trump for action, inaction, something in between, and everything else. There will probably be another impeachment over this. Trump should use this crisis to keep the border closed and as a bludgeon against globalism.
Total BS. This shutdown had to happen. Travel, conferences and sporting venues had to halt or this would have been incredibly bad. Offices has to go stay at home and restaurants and bars could not put hundreds of people in close range.
I still believe there was an over-reaction over the past month with local and state governments playing ‘who can panic more’ or ‘who is the closet fascist’. Stay at homes that are crushing even more businesses was over reach. One on one and small groups could have congregated without massive spread. That said, there is no doubt this was different than the expectation early on. It had to happen.
Perhaps he can get release the shutdown quicker this way. It should not go past Easter.
No!
So many lies, just in the excerpt. No sale!
He writes,’... but(covid) infects far fewer people than influenza (3% vs. 15%)’.
That may be accurate if all things were equal between the flu and covid, but the covid number is with all of the mitigation we have done. What would the number be and practically speaking how would have it played out if there was no mitigation? I think we got a glimpse by looking at a congested area like New York. And that probably would have been what more areas looked like if nothing was done. And perhaps then there would have been the same mitigation done except after many, many more were infected.
Trump did the right, courageous thing and the more (especially at places like FR) that buy into the spin that undoubtedly will now surface, the less the chances of Trump winning in November.
And when trump says everybody back to work the left will scream Trump wants us all dead the pandemic is not over all for Exxon and Boeing profits
I think Ted Nugent hit the nail on the head. China introduced germ warfare causing the economy to crash as they bought cheap investments in the USA. They’re out to control us without a bullet being fired.
Do these people get paid by the word?
When President Trump announces it is time to go back to work the media will shift and claim it is too soon and he is putting people at risk.
My take on the situation is that we (the nation, the government) needed time. The only way to slow the spread of the virus until we were better prepared to handled it was to build a fire break, removing fuel for the virus to spread. By encouraging people to stay home and not go out created such a fire break.
I suspect that the stay at home orders will soon be lifted with advice that we maintain a social distance, wear mask, wash hands often.
These measures will be dropped as the virus runs it’s course and medication becomes available.
Prediction - when someone calls in sick no one will question it.
