I don’t care for Trump but I think that so many people are overlooking the fact that shutting down the economy was and will be detrimental for us. I don’t think that trump is wrong about that. It’s a great theory that America will survive if they shut us down again but we won’t. People HAVE to work to survive. The government will not be able to bail us out. That definitely doesn’t mean I don’t care or want people to die but shutting the economy down won’t work. As far as Trump having insensitive remarks, we all know the man isn’t the most tactful person around.
It's not about Trump not being liked, most don't like him. But you don't make jokes about a serious virus that is still currently killing people.
We wouldn't have to shut down again if the federal government did their job. The European Union currently has 100 million more people than we do and they currently have about 3,000 new cases per day vs American's 30,000 new cases per day. That's because most countries in the EU did it right. They didn't have leaders who claimed it was a hoax.
As a result countries in Europe are safely re-opening while we still have still have states that have dangerous hot spots. States like Texas, Arizona and Florida that refused to mandate masks, crowd control and distancing are seeing dangerous amounts of infection.
