You know this is such a sensitive active situation. I believe Trump doing as well as he possibly can. Giving Governors the power to open up in phases counties or entire state. I do not blame Trump regardless of outcome. Phase one basically test the waters to see if cases surge if so it’s easy to close back down. If not you go to phase 2. But president Trump understands the economy must reopen. Or poverty will hurt more then the virus. I applaud Trump for his efforts. Because Trumps done nothing wrong to this point!

Healthcare workers clash with anti-lockdown protesters in Colorado

Nurses clashed with anti lockdown protesters in Colorado on Sunday, defiantly standing in front of the cars who flocked to the state Capitol in their hundreds to protest lockdown measures.

End of April better be end of lockdown. CA gov said end of May earliest. That state will erupt in riots if goes that long.

California does act crazy. There kinda like a country within a country.

Wilkes County republican commissioners are ready to reopen and have sent a nasty letter to Cooper. Anyone who uses this virus as a means for handout will be voted out of office! If you would like to continue this conversation let’s go to political thread.
 
I'm a Trump fan now. The liberals have utterly failed to prove their strategy was wise. In fact, science is proving them wrong more and more everyday!

Let's roll!!!!!! We can still make the United States of America the best country in the world! Let's take advantage of the fear spreading throughout the world and re-make our nation as a powerhouse of innovation, smart manufacturing and a clean environment!

Really hope you are joking with this.
 
I am not going to pile on Biden here because I actually feel sorry for him. He is so obviously deteriorating mentally that it is a shame the Democrat party has gone so cuckoo leftward that they are propping him up as some kind of savior for the party. The man is not capable of making sound judgements anymore but they will set him up as a sacrifice for their party before they turn to the real ideologues of the left, if he should win. In other words, he is a figurehead who will have to turn over most of his duties to whomever he picks as his VP so that is who you will really be voting for.

But I won't be voting for anyone on the left (Democrat side) at the national level. I am also not voting for Kemp in Georgia, or any incumbent that supported the shut down of the economy and got power hungry and tried to suspend constitutional rights of the citizens of the U.S.A.
 
I can see why there really isn't any room for compromise in this country. There will have to be a split going forward. There really is no middle ground anymore. You're either a leftist, collectivist, entitlement slave, or you're for personal freedom and conservation of liberty.

Liberty? Pretty big and important word tossed around by both sides. Liberty actually means something but boths sides only want their version of it. They can both go pound sand for all I care.
 
It's like most of you believe there is a binary choice here; Trump or liberals. It's not that simple, and if you think it is, I suggest you expand your political horizons.

So you're either a liberal or a libertarian? Republicans don't care about your personal freedoms any more than Democrats do.
 
The amount of ignorance and conspiracy in this thread is bonkers. We live in a developed Country, if you don't want "your rights" limited due to the Coronavirus, then I suggest move to an island in the middle of no where. Saving Lives > Having regular amenities reopen, but that's just me personally.

Yes, constitutional libertarian, if there is such a thing! Unfortunately the Democratic party is way too far left for my tastes in most cases. I have an easier time going right than give any more ground to the left side of the political spectrum.

Interesting idea. Sweden is not shutting everything down and they are in need of some "quality" immigration. Something to consider, for sure.

Unfortunately, that's what happens when you got the entertainment folks posing as "news" on Fox or Limbaugh spouting off ignorant nonsense and folks continue to believe it to their detriment. They have been the biggest driver over the past 25-30 years to get people to stop believing in things like science and common sense and pushing the hateful narrative that divides us.

We have two main parties. Inviting a third only gives one of the main parties a sure win with much less support. See Bill Clinton's campaign when Ross Perot was an "also ran". Yes, at the national level, it is a binary choice.

Steven, we can say the same for NBC, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, etc. Like I said, there is no more room for compromise.

Cases don't equal infection and it's far too early to see the pay-off for their decisions. Plus, we aren't exactly social distancing around here, either.

Yeah, I suppose all those stay at home mandates and shut down of entire local economies minus a few select essential businesses basically equates to no social distancing?

Lol ok

Libertarians are for the constitution, in most circles. But you cannot be a fan of Trump and a libertarian. They are mutually exclusive.

I'm not a "fan" of Trump. He's just likely the best option at this time, going forward. If another candidate that is closer to my ideology were to challenge him, I'd be very happy to support that candidate (if he's affiliated with one of the two main parties).

Sweden also is the size of NC, population-wise. Also, they have a pretty low population density. Not to mention that the gov't does cover insurance costs. People aren't scared of going bankrupt because of an illness. Just saying...

You are contradicting yourself with each post you make. Which one is it, Trump, one of the two main parties, libertarian?

Everyone goes to the grocery store and mingles almost everyday. Plus, this virus is already, everywhere, as the recent anti-body sampling is showing. Plus Lowe's and Home Depot are booming as this is a great time to get projects done!

Jessy some will not be happy till America becomes a socialist nation. I guess they want to see the economy totally collapse to get what they want. They are blinded not realizing that the economy is not invincible and there is a point of no return. They believe no social unrest can happen. They believe other countries collapsing won’t affect us. They believe that if the world economies collapse it has no way to cause a world war. They would rather see people suffer from hunger and poverty than to open back up. They believe there will be endless money and no higher taxes and hyperinflation.

All of the measures being taken greatly reduce the rate of spread, that’s irrefutable at this rate & idk why you’re trying to argue it’s meaningless because the curve has flattened in much of the US

We will have plenty to pile on Biden in the coming months. He will show what an ignorant pos he is.

Yes, there are many people in the U.S. that are scared of going bankrupt because of this illness, and they are not even sick!!! And the fact is, it is completely unnecessary for them to be facing this financial distress. It is almost solely due to the shut-downs and the power-plays by elected officials.

You believe that? You don't even know where we are on the "curve" or where we started. This virus has been making the rounds long before we were testing for it.

Shutdowns in a pandemic is not a new concept. See 1918-9, when early shutdowns/distancing made a big difference in SL vs Philadelphia and other big cities that weren’t as strict.
