Is it 12K? 100K? 1M? Never said it was not a problem. It is a problem but it's not the only problem. Just pointing out facts. It is a concern as is 3.3M in a week filing jobless claims......and list of other things that you wouldn't care about. 1

Not doing as such WILL result in an absolute shitshow that will spill into every other aspect of people’s lives. So here we are. We knew this was coming, yet this nation's hospitals are woefully ill-equipped and unprepared, even for something as simple as basic testing. And Trump is requesting all of America be open by Easter? I understand the need to get America working again, but thank god he cannot override state and local decisions. Yea this is America, not Russia. Trump said he "hopes" to have the country running by Easter. Will it happen? Probably not. But we're really going to be upset with him having hope? 1
Cratter Posted March 26, 2020 Posted March 26, 2020 When are we gonna call this for what it really is, a bar and restaurant shut down (a some others who self closed). So many business still open. Barbers. Upholstery shops. Used car lots. Mechanics. Body shops. Print shops. Auto Part Stores. Construction sites. Computer repair shops. "CD and music" shops. Vaccuum repair. Bookstores. Etc. If you're not a bar or restaurant and you closed down. Might as well reopen.

When Cuomo says it, it is inspiring, calming, and a demonstration of great leadership. 8

yzerman19 Posted March 26, 2020 Posted March 26, 2020 China most certainly lied in the beginning. The draconian measures they took to stop the initial spread would never have been tolerated in the USA or anywhere in the free world. This is NOT the 12 Monkeys virus either, in which case I could support draconian measures.

yzerman19 Posted March 26, 2020 Posted March 26, 2020 Too much of this country on both sides has become party over country...we leveraged the union to become the super power of the 20th century...maybe we should splinter to remain viable in the 21st?

And so is De Blasio for hoping NYC schools will open in a month. In fact, suggesting as such is down-right dangerous given the current situation.. De Blaio's buffoonery doesn't justify Trump's buffoonery. The two aren't mutually exclusive. Idiots, both of them. 1
