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.

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.

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......

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.

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.

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.

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.
