What number are you basing that 90% on? 2.2 million? You can’t possibly know how many would have died if we took some other action in lieu of shut downs.

What action? Would you have preferred no lockdowns?

Larry, As much as I love making $$$$, the lockdowns were needed, and IMHO are coming off in too rapid a fashion ... spike 2 after a minor rebound in business is going to be worse for the economy, and for folks, than just a couple or three more sustained weeks of quiet would have been ... but what do I know ... I said late January would be epic ... ?

It came awfully close to
flurrying along the FL east coast. That’s not too shabby!

Reports now coming out many of the Obama deep states are now lawyering up. Lol. This is going to be fun to watch unfold. Even NBC on Meet The Press changed what Barr said. The liberals are in meltdown!

I truly miss Tim Russert and the job he did hosting Meet The Press. Chuck Todd editing what Barr said is inexcusable and another example of the media pushing a point of view instead of reporting the story.

I never said nor will stop you from bashing Trump. Bash away. Some think Obama and Biden were innocent. No politician is innocent. No it’s Karma for the liberals and media. I wish Trump would just do fireside chats and stop press conferences. Then again it is fun to watch the liberal media scum squirm when he owns them or his press secretary owns them. I sure hope he gets 4 more years. Then it will be serious clean the swamp time. Expose all the sorry liberal scum. He can use the bleach to clean the scum out of the water. MAGA!

Are you a child? Who talks like this? Who wants a leader that "owns" (but let's be honest, Trump isn't "owning" any reporters) people. Oh right. People who voted for Trump.

I never said Trump was innocent. Don’t put words into my mouth. ALL politicians are dirty. I still feel Trump is still better than the garbage the liberals and Democrats put forth. Trump believes in capitalism. That I can look past all his stupid comments. He had MAGA until this virus. I will never support a party that wants socialism and open borders. Period. The days of having a candidate like Reagan are gone. It’s either socialism or capitalism candidates. I sure as heck don’t want no buttercup President either. We live in times we need strength in WH. A buttercup president lets the media control them. Last thing this country needs since it’s fos liberals.

Buddy, I'm sorry to tell you...
Trump is the definition of a buttercup.
I can see he has you fooled. I'm sorry.

What are you babbling on about? Please stop posting BS to this forum.

Just a guess, but I'm pretty sure that logically they had a large impact. Denying they had a massive impact on their own in reducing numbers is foolish in my opinion. Had there been no shutdown restrictions would have been nearly useless because people don't understand the importance. We saved lives with the shutdown and we are slowly reopening. We're doing the best we can at this state I would say aside from of course Kemp closing too late and opening too early. We will see in a month where we stand among states that had longer shutdown periods.

We most likely will have more cases but if deaths stay low then press forward. 98-99% survive and are fine.

Tennessee scores an ‘F’ in social distancing

New data shows that we are doing worse than before at staying apart.

Love how they trace us wo permission. Anyway as long as deaths stay low then let’s keep pressing forward. Keep high risk isolated. Oh and those that are scared. Stay home! Oh and the death rate in TN for population is .0036.
 
So Trump walks out of a new briefing when a couple lady reporters ask him some tough questions that he can't handle... he tucks tail and runs. What a snowflake... the guy was emasculated...

Sure. The snowflakes are the ones who hate he does not put up with their pathetic questions. Typical liberal media. He does not pander to their feelings. She was from CNN. Typical pos liberal fake news outlet. Then ole chuckie changing what Barr said on Meet The Press. Guess that’s ok also with liberal media. Funny how Trump is a snowflake but Biden tells a factory worker he does not work for the worker but for himself. Yep Biden is all about himself also but that’s ok. Fun times ahead. Gonna love 4 more years of Trump not putting up with the media games. America is waking up to all the lies the media and liberals spew.
 
Folks if we get to 50 million unemployed we are done, and whatever recovery we see with be puny and short lived. We are already playing with monopoly money and this can't continue long. Hope people play nice when things get desperate but I don't think they will. People will point fingers and blame people of both parties in this country but the real culprit is and was China, they could have nipped this in the bud but didn't

You mean around 99.6%. We'd be in a very bad position if we lost 1 to 2 percent by fall. That is literally millions. Please calculate what 2% of the US is. I'll do it for you actually. 7.6 million. 3.8 million for 1 percent. Yeah we're not going to be just fine if we lose that many from just the virus.

Even .5% would be devastating....that why the predictions of 2.2 million are not that farfetched ( .5% is 1.9 million people)...only the measures we have taken to date have kept the number low and we were a month late starting those measures....
