WE CANNOT LET THE CURE BE WORSE THAN THE PROBLEM ITSELF. AT THE END OF THE 15 DAY PERIOD, WE WILL MAKE A DECISION AS TO WHICH WAY WE WANT TO GO!

(14,492 posts)There is a big blitz campaign of "open everything back up" going around the right-wing sphere right now and he's singing their tune.
I think CA, NY and WA will tell him to stick it where the sun don't shine......

But, obviously, the workers and citizens of the United States and their well being take back seat to Wall Street with the Republicans and especially Trump.

(10,206 posts)You're right. What Trump's really saying is that making money is more important than saving lives. And using all caps is a nice touch, to emphasize his greed.

(65,079 posts)Read yesterday, most incubation periods are 4 to 10 days. Rare exceptions were 2 to 3 weeks. The biggest concern of spread, per the article, was people who have it that never exhibited significant symptoms. So, their infected, actually are a tiny bit sick but don't realize the sniffles, for instance, were caused by CV19.

We just got everybody to stay home for Christ's sake. He really just has no idea how bad it could get if we try to resume life as normal in two weeks.

(1 post)He's a fool who doesn't care how many people he kills. He hasn't done anything to increase the supply of ventilators. Decisions are going to be made just like in Italy. Follow the Math.
Our County Judge (Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins) has done the most to protect us. We are the 3rd largest city in Texas and the 9th largest in the country. Trump has nada to do with our county. BTW, a County Judge is sort of similar to a Mayor of a city, but with more authority. He is the Judge of the Commissioner's Court elected county-wide.

(24,396 posts)Declare an all clear in two weeks and theres no need for a bailout! If you dont go back to work its YOUR fault and youre on your own. In the meanwhile, theyll pursue their corporate bailouts because they need $ to pay whoever they hire back.
It cant be stressed how repellent it is to R ideology to help the rabble in any way at all.

(31,828 posts)Aren't going to listen to him.
This is why I support them putting our state police forces at borders to only allow the supply chain in and out. No more flights into Newark Airport. Okay - Gov Murphy can't do that?
You can't step off airport property if you flew in from Mississippi. There's lots of fleabag motels around the area that we can put those folks in for two weeks.
Their governor is a joke - and my governor cares about me. He (Murphy) can be as obnoxious as he wants to keep us safe.
