Are those the only two options, do nothing or shut everything down?

By waiting so long we assured that these were pretty much our only two options, yes.

Act earlier, like Taiwan and South Korea then yes…we have more options.

Tell me How I’m wrong on this.

Tell me what you do.

Because I am thinking, maybe only the most vulnerable should be isolated instead of everyone.

Argumentum ad absurdem

How about a measured response in proportion to the statistics. A response capable of escalation and considering all risks to the country?

Waiting so long for what?

Do the statistics as they stand today warrant destroying the US economy? Because it is already destroyed.

40%-50% of the cases in the hospital/ICU right now are aged 20-54.

Who are the “most vulnerable”?

Tell me what you would do as of March 11 when the President finally decided maybe we should be doing something.

Tell me now.

What is their pre-existing condition status? Because it’s not just the elderly in the high risk category, that includes people of any age with compromised immune systems.

Nothing more than a Hustler who not only lack the leadership to handle this crisis, but will continue to fake it until he make it at the expense of the American people and lives.

Isolate the most vulnerable and ramp up the medical supply chain.

I would have destroyed the economy on January 1st. I don’t ■■■■ around.

Absolutely!!

Great contribution. Both of you.

But…but…he knew it was a pandemic before it was a pandemic! Why didn’t he warn us? Why didn’t he gather his experts and formulate a response, as apparently numerous exercises suggested he should?

Look, none of us know whether the severity of this would have been reduced if Trump had acknowledged it earlier, and been more aggressive in his response. Probably not. But once again, he’s ■■■■■■■■■■■■ us to try to deflect responsibility, and make himself look good. It’s what he does. Most of us have been tired of it for three years. Why aren’t “conservatives”?

Good answer. Going back further, form the task force, start knocking down red tape.

How many cases and deaths did we have on March 11th?

Tell us your plan to execute this.

Is it severe now?

Same as the current plan, minus low risk groups being told to stay home.

The panic and response is.
