Trump is proposing to open up the US economy sometime soon: "within weeks...not months." He believes the social distancing protocol to slow the transmission of the virus is causing more harm to the country than the virus. In one week, when the original national 15 day social distancing order expires, there will be a review.

Trump says even if the public health officials advise continued social distancing measures, including closing non-essential businesses, he may decide to loosen the reins, perhaps limiting them to viral hotspots.

What do you think is the best course of action?

I would say the states are handling this and that they should be the ones making the call. As to the .gov closing businesses, they really have no right to do so unless they invoke martial law. We're not Italy, we're a republic and as such pretty much have self determination. Recommend yes, but just pull a draconian shutdown? No.

And if you go down the list of what are essential and non-essential industries, unless you're running an ice cream stand in winter, there is pretty much a carve out for you. Illinois's proclamation is a joke.

Let the communities decide, this will sort itself out. Darwin was pretty much spot on. Those that are paying attention are taking the right actions, the rest will not regardless.

The effectiveness of battling this virus depends upon some people breaking the quarantine...

The purpose of the original quarantine is to buy time while we acquire necessary medical equipment and professionals...

Make no mistake, at some point this wolf must pass through the fold and a good many sheep will die... We're currently just impeding his walk through so as to keep the body count low and slow...

Guess what, at some point the economy can’t be given a death sentence by closing it. There is a tipping point that some seem eager to roll past......you know, tragedy is always opportunity captured by fear.

Wake TF up and quit just seeing the bad orange man for a minute

When can Whistle expect to have his surgery?

^ "bad orange man" 😳
sounds racist against the orange citizenry. If they're illegal orange aliens though they better not have committed any felonies or send em back to Orangeena. I think I live in a sanctuary state so the illegal orange people may be safe in Jersey. Also referring to orange peoples as "Cheeto" or "cinnamon Hitler" or other such racial epitaphs is no longer socially acceptable in good company. 🤐

Ignore the orange clown. He is all over the place trying to market himself.

It’s not about him. Ignore him. He’s more a problem than a help or solution.

He’s playing a Symantec’s game again.

This is a discussion of that very subject. Should we stay at home? What's the premise for the policies?

It’s not a matter of hate. Until this point he’s been a bumbling fool. But folks voted for him for their own reasons. It is what it is.

For the first time I see him as a dangerous bumbling fool. Good thing we have leadership at the state and local levels.

I'm watching now and again find myself saying "please give the mic to Fauci and announce from now on the Doctor will conduct all updates."
Trump can even claim he found the amazing miracle doc if he likes, I don't really care, I just want the sales pitch to stop. This is far more serious than his reelection campaign.

which reminds me, I failed to celebrate Purim here this year. My apologies to fans of The Prequel.

I wanted Brother Mattie B to explain why God is not mentioned once in the Book of Esther (he's the one that made me aware of it).
