The percentage of the alcohol makes me think of this commercial when I was younger. Anybody remember the shampoo body on tap 1/3rd beer �� but don’t drink it.

Words cannot describe how insane our response to this has been. We are the victims of our own innumeracy and sloth.

Most folks are in no serious danger from this virus. The economy needs to be reopened TOMORROW for everyone except the elderly and the severely immunocompromised.

This is now obviously another Leftist plot to destroy Trump, and they will gladly take the country with them if not stopped.

Reopen the country, Trump, or it's over.

Sure, technically a pandemic cannot exist without society, but diseases don't operate according to social structures or some nebulous idea of "power." At best you can uncover correlations, but basically everyone will give into insisting that they've found causation.

If that happens people would just go out and try to get coronavirus so they could go back to work

It was worth it.

The overreaction was necessary.

It's better to overreact than underreact.

One of those. All of those?

We're not at the point of no return yet. We still have a couple of weeks to figure things out; perhaps find something of great value that helps this situation resolve in a fairly positive way. Something good is gonna turn our way.

Some are in serious danger, and that's enough for the majority of us, apparently.
I wouldn't worry about that too much, though. You could make yourself sick.
As for our "innumeracy", well, math is hard.

Keep waiting for that, but it's not happening.

Reddit and Imgur are almost worthless at this point.

We continue to shoot ourselves in the foot with our decision making, and sometimes lack thereof. And "shoot ourselves in the foot" seems to be putting it nicely. It's both incredibly frustrating, and sad. And the worst of all.. voluntary.

Plot to destroy Trump that apparently includes almost every major country in the world, including ones that are overtly friendly to him? Ok dude

Trump also doesn't have the authority to "re-open" the country

No he most certainly does not.

Trump could easily get around this if he wanted to. It’s just like the drinking age. Federal government said to the states if you don’t raise the drinking age to 21, no highway funding for you. Everyone raised the drinking age to 21

chezball · 04-14-2020, 11:17 PM

Couldn't he just sign an executive order to open everything up?

I guess he could try to extort states the same way he tried to extort Ukraine

We need a poll. Choose one.

1. Slowly open up states. Situation ends up being far less awful than feared. Trump claims victory.
2. We stay on mostly a lockdown for the next 12-18 months, then hope for a swing towards the "positive". All this time, Trump is the bad guy.

What's the plan then? Remain in lock down or open things up?

Or option 3 people say screw it and ignore what the states government is enforcing. We can’t live the way it is right now for much longer.

I like how regional states are forming groups to set guidelines and policies for re-opening. The economies of NY, NJ and CT are so connected that it's probably necessary due to travel between states. CA, OR and WA are together as well.

The D's want you locked down until the election is over.
