PROJECTED....USA could become the new Wuhan.....and that does NOT take into consideration the king OPENING THE GATES.....the king has lost his mind over his precious markets/economy. Your life is inconsequential.
Opening the gates? President Trump was the man who shut down travel from China back in January. Travel that the press, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and others called racist. He might have prevented a million people being exposed.
Are you referring to opening up the economy? This will be a tough decision. Right now it is only being considered. It really depends on how well we do voluntarily. Can America go two months under quarantine? Or will they just start breaking it slowly?
My family was considering renting out a restaurant for Easter Eve. Just the seven of us plus staff of three. How soon before speakeasies start showing up? Will more people become drug dealers to make a dollar? Anytime you shut down a legitimate economy, an underground one will appear. Are the ranchers around me going to have to start worrying about rustling because fresh meat isn't available. Will poaching increase?
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
I'm TRYING to understand the timing.....we are at a mass critical point RIGHT NOW for the next several weeks....perhaps erroring on the side of caution and WAITING till end of April approx.
might be a better timeline.....since the king was at least that long in acknowledging the crisis....MY
take is he can NOT TOLERATE the tanking of the dow...since that is all he can speak about.
It is just typical Trump. He says whatever captivated him last from his right wing enablers. They have been complaining about the economic shutdown for days,. Fortunately, most of the quarantine decisions are in the hands of the Governors, who listen to the scientists.

I have NO IDEA OF YOUR TRAIN OF THOUGHT......the articles states we are at extreme high
ratio (because of the lack of action).....and yet the king wants to get back to normal....WTF
I love how conservatives keep throwing out Trump's decision to shut down travel from China, as if that was the greatest feat of prevention ever devised by a human.
