Too bad we didn't do this a week ago.

Yeah, the whole "pause [nearly] everything" is the only real option...but every day wasted is gonna make it hurt much more when we finally get there.

I don't even know what we're doing here anymore.

Pack it up everyone, society is over. I'm going to start learning guitar so I can be the guy suspended on bungees ripping beastly chords as we race into battle.

Yep. Rule #1 when talking about an investigational drug is not to tell people it's going to work. They need to be told that we won't know the risk/reward profile until the clinical trial is complete. As usual, Trump violated rule #1.

Just a tattered flag blowing in the wind, no direction of its own, just blowing whatever way outside influences want it to.

We're all so royalty screwed.

This was the group whining about "death panels" right?

Our slavery to "the economy" is amazing.

Do they fill prescriptions? If so, then yeah they should stay open.

I recognize the difficulty of managing both a health and economic crisis simultaneously, but the idea of being able to restart the economy after 15 days is just laugh out loud dumb. We're a service, consumer driven economy that loves confidence and certainty. The American consumer isn't gonna start getting on planes or going to restaurants because someone, even the President, says everything's better. They will need to see some measurable facts that we're winning and saying we're winning while new cases and daily deaths continue rise won't provide that confidence. I mean at the very least show masks getting to the right place or ventilators rolling off of GM or Ford production lines because you've enabled the Defense Production Act. Or even flood the market with tests so places like Advocate Aurora don't have to shut down drive up testing.

The medical reality is we're still at least two weeks away from peaking in a best case scenario(which we're not) and in some areas like New York and I would bet Louisiana and Florida, it will be much longer. "Reopening" the economy while we're in the middle of the pandemic just isn't gonna move the needle like Trump thinks it will from an economic standpoint and it very well could be disastrous from a health standpoint.

I've thought about this several times this week as the NYC cases skyrocket, it was a pretty poor decision by Val and the BE to allow games to go on Wednesday night at the Garden. Not to mention, allowing the early game to start on Thursday between Creighton and SJU.

The Defense Production Act isn't actually being used.  In a press conference a few days ago Trump said "many, many" companies had been issued orders under the act, but a few days later he admitted none had, just another falsehood.  He has since said he doesn't want to use the Act because he wants companies to still profit off their production.

He also claimed that Ford and GM are producing ventilators "right now"; Ford and GM said it would take months for them to re-tool for ventilator production.

Elon Musk also pulled an Elon Musk: after saying he was going to produce 1K ventilators he has since wavered back and forth and then said "they probably wouldn't be needed".

First of all, you aren't supposed to ingest it. People should know that. That's pretty obvious. Second of all, how about we be a bit fair here and also post an article that shows what can happen when done properly..

Awesome, the government bickers on and on about which side is right and which is wrong with neither being willing to compromise.

Meanwhile the average 25 year old like myself is slowly losing their entire savings.

A month ago, I had a great job, very healthy stocks, about to buy a house, and a very successful side business

Now my job is grinding to a standstill that I know my company probably can't weather, none the less pay me throughout this crisis. I've lost 30% of my stock funds, my mortgage rate has shot through the roof and am not sure if I'll be able even be able to pull the trigger on it, my side business has halted its expansion as I am no longer able to maintain the funds needed to get the new equipment.  My car payments, rent, and student loans are breathing down my neck with little to no income being guaranteed.

Meanwhile the bastards in Washington are having a pissing match with the American people's livelyhood. No one cares about which of trump or Pelosi sit atop the iron throne at the end.

We care about our lives

I believe you're right. I was being sarcastic.

He is not just corrupt and dishonest and immoral; he's also dangerous. His inability to handle a crisis is the biggest of 1,000 reasons he should still be on reality TV.

He's handling this crisis just fine. No democrat like you thinks he is, but he is. I love the liberal talking point that "people are dying!". Did people seriously expect absolutely NO ONE to die because of this?? Sure seems that way. That's ridiculous. NO ONE ever wants to see people die..ever, for any reason, but thousands of people die in this country every day for reasons totally unrelated to Coronavirus..amazingly we don't see the outrage over that, yet it's still people dying...Hmmm but there's no liberal agenda, is there??

I have news for you and your fellow liberals...people die..all of us do at some point. That's just a reality and FACTS.

Yeah okay...let me ask you a question..I know you're not an honest guy so I don't expect to get an honest answer..How many people died from H1N1 under your boy Obama's watch before he even declared it a National emergency?? He's handling this crisis just fine. No democrat like you thinks he is, but he is. I love the liberal talking point that "people are dying!". Did people seriously expect absolutely NO ONE to die because of this?? Sure seems that way. That's ridiculous.

I have news for you and your fellow liberals...people die..all of us do at some point. That's just a reality and FACTS. You know, something your fellow media wonks don't know anything about. They sure don't print them or cite them that's for sure.

I'm not a liberal.

This is pathetic. We're the supposedly the greatest country in the world (again), with two months to prepare for the arrival of COVID-19 and everyone dropped the ball.

Everyone.

There is no more agenda anymore, there should never be an agenda in a pandemic, but stupid posts like this are the exact reason why this country sucks ass now.

Grow the unnatural carnal knowledge up and realize what's going on. Or blame the media because that the president wearing fucking tanner like some 00's guido doesn't have anything under control.

@DrEricDing: Italy 🇮🇹 is bending the arc and rounding the corner hopefully. For 2nd consecutive day, new #COVID19 cases lower than day before. Today's death toll (601), yesterday (651), day before (793). Let's keep up the lockdown. Other countries pay attention. https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1242214658523705344/photo/1
