Yeah, you're absolutely right. That's what I meant to type. I guess I go home devastated, huh?

That couldn't be more unacceptable. All he had to do was ask.

So you are saying you would rather have no treatment then a treatment proven to work if you had a mild case? Give it a rest. What would be unacceptable is to not treat mild to moderate cases. Once in the severe stages the drug does not work.

Please do not leave your moms basement. As she has said all these years, you are safer there.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Another good one! You're on fire here!

Do you remember the election?

Let me remind you....

YOU LOSE!!

Just another lie to add to the pile of lies Trump tells everyday. His favorite thing to do is say whatever he wishes was true or what people want to hear. Facts are irrelevant in his world.

The post about him listening to his advisers is the least informed post I’ve read today.

Liberals are going home devastated. Their anger toward Trump is embarrassing and killing them quicker than Covid19.

For sure things are going to start getting back to normal in 2 weeks. Bigly normal!

I am sure there's considerable pressure to open things back up for Easter (April 12th). I simply don't know enough about the nature of the disease, or its spread in the United States, to know whether this is a likely scenario or not.

Even though I'm a nonbeliever and a Never Trumper, and opening things back up by Easter would further cement Trump's status as "G-d"s gift (in the minds of his base) . . . I would still love to have the outbreak under control by then. Who would *want* it to go longer?

Similarly, even though a terrible economy in November would worsen President Trump's chances for re-election, who could *want* such economic conditions? Recessions cause real pain, sometimes even death, for actual human beings.

I want everyone healthy, and a robust economy, by this fall. What thinking, empathetic person wouldn't?

Are you new here?

Maybe he had Malaria and not Covid 19?

Just a thought.

I despise Trump in general and blame him for the total failure to assess and properly prepare for the threat we're facing. He's an embarrassment and his pathological lying and incessant off the cuff bs'ing is extremely counterproductive. That being said, I'm glad he and some of his advisers are strongly considering whether or not the cure is worse than the disease.

There's a lot of talk about this being a war. In war, there are sacrifices and casualties. I'm 100% on board with current lock downs, and 2 weeks is way too early to re-open. But, we've lost the containment battle, and there is no hope that we can permanently suppress this pandemic with the current strategies. We will likely be spending 2/3 of our lives in lock down until a vaccine is available. 18 months is not a hard date on a vaccine, it could be never. The collateral damage of extended lock downs are almost incalculable and need to be seriously considered.

Our greatest potential weapon in fighting this is the herd immunity that can be provided by the 95-98% of us who will get through this virus without major health complications. The horrors of what we're facing are real and merited a lot of sacrifice to attempt to avoid, but that battle was lost and can't be refought. Given our lack of preparedness, our current delay tactics are appropriate. I think we should take from now until Memorial Day to sacrifice economically and deal with the shutdowns and social distancing. We get through the peak, build up our emergency health care infrastructure, pass emergency measures for extended support and disability payments for at risk people who wish to remain in extended semi-isolation, and develop knew hygiene standards for businesses when they reopen. Then we get on with it. Another peak will come that may be significantly worse than the first, but should improve from there.

If another nation was on the cusp of invading and imposing the conditions that we're now talking about facing for 18 months to forever, how much would we be willing to sacrifice to defeat that enemy? How many risks would we expect able bodied people to assume in fighting that fight? How many casualties would be acceptable to win?

I realize some states are truly in crisis. But the vast majority of rocky mountain states have had little impact from this. And yet, were closing down as much as anyone else.

You mean "so far." The rocky mountain states have had little impact from this yet.

This virus just started spreading. Even in NY. It's barely scratched the surface.

I hope this virus doesn't do much to Rocky Mountain states, as I am from the region. And it's possible, given the low population density in some parts of it. But so far, it looks like a month from now will be bad.

Its ok as long as you look relaxed doing it or possibly if you do it on pure hate.

Let's get back to work -- if we get sick if that is our fate --- and then we we all be immunized. Show the Commies that nothing will stop us. If sickly or elderly stay home.

trump will say anything in his opinion he needs to say to keep S&P 500 from dropping 150 points per day. A sucker is born every day. It worked. You probably maxed out your credit card buying Vanguard fund today. S&P 500 only went down 67.52 points today. What will he say tomorrow?

It's not just the unemployment that will be an issue. It's the violence that will result inevitably as we see in large cities like Detroit, Camden, etc after big industries died. Lots of unemployed angry people...expect the drug trade to increase, as well as other dark market economies.

That's not the point. Trump has access to the experts and should not assume anything.

I bet those cheering for a lockdown and all of this nanny state BS will sing a different tune once you become victimized by someone who lost it all and feels they have nothing to lose if they kill you so they can feed themselves.

Some of you all are so sheltered and never dealt with truly desperate individuals before. There's a reason why inmates are given jobs. It's an outlet for that energy.

Do you want kids running wild? You really think the kids are going to take the lockdowns seriously?
