According to. POTUS


May 21, 2020, 6:42 PM

We will not shut down country again. Posted earlier that we would not do it again. Great Depression 2.0 cannot be an action plan no matter the cost in lives.

which benefited from the shutting. It's possible that some of them may have had more demand for ventilators than they had.

I can see the POTUS reasons. We now or soon will have enough of everything we need to weather the storm. We have a great deal of knowledge about a pandemic and will soon have treatments and perhaps even vaccine.

We lost the first 25 or 30 thousand people because of the qualifications for treatment. Now we have massive test kits and processing the results in labs not called the CDC. We should well prepare and maintain that posture perpetually.

While I agree we shouldn’t shut down again, you are wrong per usual.


May 21, 2020, 9:02 PM

We don’t have a great deal of knowledge about a pandemic or this virus. Heck just yesterday the CDC stayed that they learned it doesn’t live on surfaces nearly as long as they thought, so spread by contact is less of a risk.

A vaccine is nowhere close to being available to the general public. 12 months or more. We are getting better, but we still have a long way to go to get this “under control.”

borders.? 39 governors had closed all of their schools and were on their way to more closures by the time Trump gave his "this is serious, folks" presser 3rd Monday in March. I know cause recycling day.

Didn't open anything up, either, though still 40k plus monthly international arrivals, with temp scanners and pinky swear self-quarantines at the airports. "I told him I was against it" at the same time as "Liberate Minnessota!"

No national testing plan in place. Just how are we going to have the tools to "put out the fire" and "weather the storm" with absolutely no organized (DING DING - Problem Major Tom) effort in place where our resources, numbers, knowledge and national emergency power are greatest in the Federal mechanism? We're discovering "hot spots" a month after the fact, still, and there is ZERO going on to get ahead of that.

CDC wasn't in charge of the Fed's decision over opening up non-gov labs early on, and now. Look elsewhere. FDA. I'm sure there's a top notch guy in the top brass that knows all the arms of the company, what they do, and who to call when you need something.

Lastly, put the Post Office to work delivering and collecting testing sample envelopes. Self-administering for volunteers that get requests via mail or USPS app. Far and wide fast, couple houndred thousands weekly. And write some letters to folks you don't see as often. Mail has really dropped off, and it'd be a nice way to show support and connect with far away friends and family in a physical way when you can't be there in person. I don't understand vilifying the Postal Service. To me it is a great symbol of national pride. It's a bigger national pastime than baseball. Apple pie is a later discussion.

Not really imo, he just understands that in the big scheme we cannot destroy the economy. We are not the same peoples that survived Great Depression 1.0, we are far greater in number with far less empathy, good Will and I dare say ethics and morals.

If an area has a big spike and wants to shut down, they will, whether he likes it or not. I personally think nowhere should shut down, but states and localities can do as they choose. Will be a lot harder to get people to adhere to it a second time though.

Where's your proof of this statement:


May 22, 2020, 10:44 AM

"We never came close to that. In fact the hospitals were telling workers to stay home because they didn’t have enough volume."

The hospital workers sent home were those working in non-COVID related areas. Many hospitals were close to peak in their ICUs and ER departments handling COVID cases.

Now should hospitals have shut down all non-COVID related stuff is a different question and issue entirely.

In fact, the President doesn't have the power to overrule states' rights to do with its citizens what they think is best.

Every home in this country that was 'shut down', was shut down under state law, not federal. The 10th Amendment to the Constitution makes this power clear.

And not only was it done in the U.S. but in every country in the world. It's not about politics.
