Its unfortunate that you think people don't care (which is horse sh*t) but at some point you have to face the reality that we CANT continue to ignore people's livelihood. Your family is working, my family is doing fine but I have small business friends who are in danger of losing everything. Let that sink in. You don't wave a magic wand and poof everything is peaches and cream. I am fully in favor of a stepped approach but it needs to get going and NOW
And how many were older and had medical conditions that the flu might have caused their death. That’s a pretty big assumption they can all recover from the crisis?
Don’t worry. Shaggy said they will ALL recover.
Don't tell me to get over it man. There are people who actually want to see Trump fail at all cost. Its not a conspiracy its a fact. People "like me" have supported the social distancing buts its time to get moving and people back to work. Are you in danger of losing your house? A business? Do you have kids to take care of? This can turn ugly if the economy continues to weaken. What are you going to lose if it does? Anything?
That's the thing, it's not 1+1 = 2. The shut-downs were suppose to "flatten the curve", so that hospitals wouldn't be over-run. They aren't being over-run and have plenty of capacity. Also, we've learned that the virus is widely distributed in the population now and it is unlikely that we will or would have ever, experienced demand that would cause healthcare rationing. We also have found some treatments that work if you catch it early. Why stay shut-down now? There is no need and you're only increasing the pain down the road. There will be an uptick in suicides, deaths from untreated diseases and an increase in all kinds of abuse. These consequences will be far-reaching and long-lasting, plaguing the "survivors" of the pandemic long after it has subsided.
Now we see those that want America to collapse. They will be the ones crying when the govt. can not take care of them. Apparently Cuba, Venezuela and other countries they ignored.
Because they are older they should die?
He might lose his life. A military draft would be a real possibility if the U.S. is dragged into a world war due to the global economic collapse. He's a young man ready to die for his country, no doubt!
LOL out comes Venezuela. You do realize sanctions are a major factor and intentional destablization right? We have been meddling in Latin American affairs for decades, often propping up brutal right wing regimes that murdered thousands.
The Covid-19 testing has large false negatives, too.
Says the one that goes to Lowe’s and store and work. You should not be going out at all. Your wife could be carrying it since she is a nurse and could have given it to you.
That's not what he is saying, but yeah, it's true, older people die in higher percentages than the younger. We can advise the vulnerable to take precautions and let the young and healthy get back to work, or anyone that is ok with the risks associated with living.
Dude, if you could give me a trade - open everything up now and save the economy and lively-hoods of millions, but we have to have Biden as the next president, I'd take that trade at this point!
They can’t see that without money the younger generation can not take care of the older generation. Especially their parents. Let’s just remember they will all recover as Shaggy said they would.

. No reason for you to worry. You are making bank.

There are folks on here that think this extensive sheltering isn't about getting Trump at all. That I am crazy for thinking such a thing! I think its time that many on here just admit there is at least a smidge of political motivation here. I have many reasons for wanting to get this economy back on track and Trump's re-election is one of them. Sorry but I am a realist and there is no way in hell you will convince me that you or your brother aren't cheering for his failure on this.
Great question. I do not at all. Keep social distancing and respecting others. Restaurants can start with half occupancy. Many will go under I’m sure but open to full capacity in another month. Either way we have to face this virus and eventually let everyone be exposed to it. We can’t keep movies and sports arenas shut down. Colleges and schools also. It sucks either road we take.

I think a SLOW relaxation of the restrictions is the way to go....if you go full bore, like it was before, I'm afraid we may revert right back to where we were. If the lockdowns continue much more, though, I believe most of the nation will revolt and ignore whatever restrictions are place on them. I'll be curious to see what Californians do this weekend.
I know Trump gets a lot of blame but there is A LOT of blame to go around. I think you can also call out many others(Pelosi, Biden, DeBlasio, Cuomo). Yes, he's the president and ultimately the buck falls with him. I'm thinking 50% of the people in the US fault Trump and 50% think he has handled this fine. In fact, 50% of people in the country would somehow fault Trump if he cured breast cancer since he didn't cure prostrate cancer at the same time....just sayin
Speaking for myself....We need to slowly open things back up but when we do it we need to do it. People are going to be cautious and so will many businesses. Not all will but at some point we have to trust people will keep in mind that we need to remain vigilant. Its not going to disappear but we cant keep closing up because of graphs all and models. They have shown me their certainly arent fail proof
That business has to be down these days, can't just drop it on the door step
Well we have been over the "he blew it off crap". So did Fauci if you really want to be specific. There is one thing to blow off the seriousness of something even with the intelligence you "did have". Its completely different to OVERTHINK on it and panic especially when you are in charge of the well being of 300 million people (healthwise and economically). Our "country" was behind on the testing and that was due to many factors. But of course Trump is easy to target on that one...….
And how often do we test? Who do we test? Who pays for all these test? What if a fake positive and you quarantine someone and others wrongfully? They lose their job or house. Can they sue? How long reduced store capacity? Stores cant survive on half capacity forever.
