Why can hundreds of people walk around Walmart and I can't sell a gun?

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

I’m still struggling with how “would love to be over by Easter” means the same as “will be over by Easter.”

Honestly I am sure just about everyone would love this whole thing to be over by Easter. Doesn’t mean it will be. Hell most people would love for it to be over now. Again, doesn’t mean it is or will be.

Liquor stores aren’t open in PA but state stores are, they sell more than just beer though. They also distribute soda and water and you can’t go into the store anymore they only deliver in bulk. The liquor stores around me are boarded up because they are preparing for looters in case a full quarantine happens.

Probably because alcoholics going into withdrawal can kill them, and they don’t want them clogging up with hospital with that.

How do people social distance in a busy office or on public transit during morning commutes? How do servers or restaurant/movie theatre/bar patrons social distance? How do you ever eradicate this virus and not cause a consistent onslaught for the healthcare system if there are constant outbreaks of this very contagious virus that requires a huge amount of staff and equipment to treat for those hospitalized?

Thanks but no thanks Mr Trump. The economic ramifications are happening and going to happen regardless. I’d rather the US get a strong hold on this and deal with a recession than go back to business as usual too soon, before we have gotten the situation in hand and end up dealing with a depression.

In describing why he said Easter Sunday, he said “you'll have packed churches all over our country”. What about that sounds like some hypothetical wish and not what he actually thinks will be happening a mere 19 days from now?

Michigan considers them essential. All of them are open. Business as usual.
