Trump says he wants country 'opened up' by Easter, despite caution from health experts

[Deleted User 638]

Trump is correct. The economic fallout will be much worse than the virus.

Says all the rural people who aren’t in the middle of it.

Im in the 5th most affected state and run a business with people from all over the state, especially those fleeing the hardest hit areas and bringing the virus with them. I'm showing symptoms. Know what you're saying before spouting off.

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope it's not the virus.

You're one person. The majority of Trump's base are rural people in states that have not been affected as strongly as more urban states. Do you really think he has any support in NYC or other hard hit areas to open by "Easter" ?

And if you're showing symptoms stop whining about not being able to sell guns to people and possibly infecting them.

So do I. Thanks. We were exposed to a lot of people in the store. We kept the 6 ft rule as best we could and one of us was constantly Clorox whipping stuff. Hopefully it's something else.

Where did I whine that I was unable to? I was clarifying the point of picking winners and losers.
And Trump doesn't expect that in NYC he is hoping for less hard hit areas to be able to. I am not in a less hard hit area, nor am I the only gun seller in the state.

How do the less hard hit areas stay less hard hit if there’s not South Korea level testing (and there’s no indication there will be)? There’s no way to social distance in many office-type workplaces, let alone the service industry and on public transit commutes.

You yourself said that people were fleeing high risk areas - what stops an asymptomatic Californian from deciding they’ve had enough of quarantining and flying or driving to their summer home in Montana, which is much less hard hit, and hanging out in restaurants and bars and coffee shops, infecting the local population that way?

Nothing stops it, which is why I support a shutdown. It does no good to shut down low traffic businesses while allowing high traffic businesses such as Wal-Mart to remain open.

I love how he wants to put the lives of the people in this nation in danger for the sake of his stock portfolio. Now would be a good time to invoke the 25th Amendment, White House Cabinet members!

Who is “raring” to be in crowded public business spaces - bars, restaurants, theatres, shops - when there’s an unchecked pandemic happening? How do you social distance on a morning public transit commute or office elevators? Even in areas that aren’t currently hit hard, all it takes is one person, who could be asymptomatic, to start an outbreak.

The idiots in NY who are responsible for the infection rate of 25,000. Idiots, that's who.

For sure. If Walmart is a grocery store, it makes sense to keep that portion (along with other household essential parts of the store) open, but even then there should be a limit on the number of people allowed inside at a time.

Meanwhile, Dr. Fauci, the most credible U.S. infectious disease expert on the coronavirus outbreak, has been absent from White House events for three days after contradicting Trump.
