Ms. Toad
(34,076 posts)Including echoing the false statements that we are different from Italy beacase Trump closed the borders. (Italy, in fact, closed the borders as early but more completely in its disease timeline than Trump.)
All the respect I've had for Fauci since the earily 80s is gone.

(12,586 posts)Not that Trump would ever be that petty. He's always looking out for the average American citizen.

(9,249 posts)I just can't believe they will really reopen the country! I believe trump wants to, but I can't see it really happening. Maybe he's floating the idea to see what kind of pushback/feedback he'll get...

(17,931 posts)those most at risk tend to vote Republican more than any other age group. Literally killing your base isn't usually a winning campaign strategy.

(10,885 posts)See? There is a positive side to all this - less MAGAts to destroy the earth.
Add in a little Russian hacking of voting systems and it makes the win more likely and easier to explain to his gullible base that will believe he won fair and square. Added bonus is that the media will not question it once it occurs.

(8,838 posts)Solves a lot of nightmares of the Republicans in one big hurry.
Social Security and Disability
Medicare
Health insurers pay outs which start accelerating at age 50+
Worrying about the stock market crashing and wiping out investors retirement money
Wiping out a group of people that were taught right from wrong and resisted his gross corruption.
What else that I can't think of???? I'm sure the list is endless......

(38,506 posts)Probably because he says it's going to get worse.
Stallion
(6,476 posts)those areas will be overwhelmed
and no hospitals close by. In Kansas they have had a lot of smaller hospitals close the last few years because they refuse to expand Medicaid. I live in KCMO and hear a lot of KS news. MO just as bad with no expansion of Medicaid.
Sedona
(3,769 posts)Albany Georgia (Dougherty County) hospitals are already overwhelmed.

The hospital there is ordering CV19 positive healthcare workers back to work.

(3,707 posts)Businesses can become the new hot-spots suffering when corporations, employees, customers and sources of supplies begin to drop like flies.
Make the necessary next 'work at home' happening kill all the kids and families.
Pump the curve, fill hospital beds two by two, kill the citizens with cancer too.
The glorified great white race is exceptionally malevolent. Perhaps should pay attention to Britain.

(7,390 posts)We need prevention and treatment before we are up and running again at some point.
dchill
(38,506 posts)Blue states, big (blue) cities. Doesn't Trump know the whole country is a potential "hot spot?" Or that many Republicans live there, too?
paleotn
(17,931 posts)He has limited power in that regard.

(17,931 posts)states rights. Governors and state legislatures have broad powers within their states. And the feds can't do one damn thing about it. But not to worry though. The feds aren't helping with this catastrophe anyway. NY is funding it's own drug trials. Not the CDC or FDA.

If Fauci is removed, I hope there's a riot. With people 6 feet apart, of course.
bucolic_frolic
(43,205 posts)Companies won't need workers until the public feels safe, and they won't pay workers until the customers show up again.
We're all sheltering in place, the only customers are for food stores and takeout here and there.
Trump restarting the economy before it's safe will be like pushing on a string. Trump as no power here.

(16,847 posts)The hospitals are going to fill up next week, and it's just going to get worse from there. People can't work if they're sick or taking care of sick people.

Removing the sane voice so he can live surrounded by delusions. This is the beginning of what is likely to last for 18 months.

(628 posts)The incompetent-in-chief president cannot order California, New York, Illinois, Washington or any other state to work.
Only the states can do that.
These fools are blockheads if they think democratic governors would do such a deadly, stupid thing, which would deepen, not weaken, our economic pain.
We need more and faster testing. We do not need more virus.
Just when I start to think this president cannot be any stupider, he proves me wrong yet again.

(15,719 posts)"It took 67 days from the first reported case to reach the first 100,000 cases. Eleven days for the second 100,000 and just four days for the third 100,000," he said.
Orrex
(63,216 posts)Trump is an active and deliberate threat to 300+ million Americans and the world at large.
If any other person presented such a threat, how would our government handle that person?
I can think of 25th ways to address this disaster right now.
Ponietz
(2,987 posts)The hardest hit areas are Democratic linchpinspropaganda to destabilize them foments massive civil unrest followed by jackboots.
If this is inaccurate, Id appreciate hearing others views.

Orrex
(63,216 posts)Does he imagine that the DOW will jump back to 30,000? That other nations will suddenly disregard public safety and start importing from us and accepting travelers?
LiberalFighter
(50,967 posts)He gave that power to the states and local government to do. There are no backsies.
