We Need To Stop the Shutdown & Go Back to Work

Trump should lead the charge. Set the example. There’s no way the US can get through this if 20 states refuse to enforce a stay in place.

That isn’t up to him. You elect your Governor. Your Governor is the “President” of your state.

Trump is doing all he can to help. What your Governor does is up to them and it affects you.

There are plenty of people, like me, who instituted a stay in place order for their employees.

Don’t look to government to tell you what to do. Use your head. Unpopular as it may be? Do what you think is right for your microcosm.

Trump is not a dictator. Each State has a Governor. The Governor is responsible for making these calls. Not Trump.

If trump would come out strongly and say “please do this” Govs like FLA who is a trump sycophant would likely listen.

Trump honestly is a coward. He is afraid to upset people, and is afraid to put himself in a position to be held accountable.

You can see this in the fact that he never fires people directly. For all his bluster, he is uncomfortable with having to make the tough calls.

@Jezcoe

Sure… but the President can certainly publicly call for it to happen… without his requisite insults would be preferable.

Safe spaces are in short supply when reality knocks on your door.

Governors are free to do what they deem necessary. I get that some people don’t understand the role of a Governor vs. a President. .

What is your qualification for making this kind of decision? Are you in any way an expert on biology, virology, the economy, mathematics, statistics? Perhaps this isn’t a great time for armchair anything.

What’s your qualification for criticizing it?

Keep in mind the goal was to prevent the collapse of the hospital system.

Not necessarily to prevent the virus from doing what it does best.

And if we release too soon we will just overwhelm the hospital system two months later and made all the economic havoc we’ve created thus far be for nothing.

You do realize no matter how it is handled it is going to flare back up, right?

Of course I do…we have to be ready to fight it when it does without having to go all draconian again.

We are not there yet.

I have a master’s degree in common sense and a PhD in whataboutism.

Nice.

So, we’re looking at a possibility of upwards of 100K deaths in the U.S and your position is to purposely put millions of Americans at risk? Thanks, but no thanks.

How do you feel this is going to end?

[RoyalBlue]

Horribly.

@RoyalBlue

Horribly.

No seriously. What do you feel is going to happen?

It actually wasn’t a horrible plan in general…the logistics behind doing it make it impossible to implement at this time.

Plus how are you going to make people go get tested? Order them to?

There is evidence that having it once does not make you immune from getting it again or being able to spread it again.

So when the governor of Florida does nothing and allows Spring Break to happen, then a lot of them catch and spread corona virus to whatever state the infected live, I guess we applaud the governor for bringing in revenue? Applaud the governor for allowing kids to have a good time? Who should tell the governor that his inaction is causing a lot more people to become infected?
