You just want to justify your vacation.

Lol

It's more about not dealing with the financial crash 3 years from now 

Hes right about making the solution bigger than the problem

Btw it may or may not be the same week but make no mistake we're going.

No different than now it will more be up to the states.   Plenty will be able to, NY, NJ and a few others maybe not.

Nope and it's no worse than all the doomsday predictions being made 

This is actually one part he's gotten correct

I country without hope is not a place I want to be.

And really do we crash the worlds biggest economy for 3-4% of the population?

i think easters about the right time.  that is 2 full weeks since most went to containment protocols so reopen April 6 would be good.  Maybe some isolating will need to be kept in place in areas with major outbreaks like NYC but shutting down the entire countries economy is not needed.

1/3 the country fucking hates him and says he's not their President yet hangs on every single word he says about this.  :lol:  

That is 19 days from now. 

The gov's have more say in it.

i forget Easter is the 12th not the 5th.  Definitely by the 12th we should be back to "normal" in say 45 states.  CA, NY, IL, NJ, WA may have to have some high pop areas it will need to be longer.   

 

I think Washington's numbers have been dropping.   Given them another 2.5 weeks and they should really have a handle on it.

I recall in a economics textbook in college where it was claimed 37,000 American's die from every 1% increase in unemployment.   Now I don't recall how it was calculated or where the author got the statistics but it doesn't seem all that outrageous, even from suicide and crime alone.   The book was written in 1981 likely with populations much less than now.   If unemployment jumps from 4% to 34% think of the losses.  1.15 million people using the old figures. 

As a nation we do and obviously will have to in the future take into considerations all impacts including economically when dealing with these outbreaks.   Honestly this one wasn't as bad as we may eventually face.    20-30% of anyone and everyone could die in a really bad one.  World is over as we know it if that occurs.

There's a reason trump won't budge off the CDC original 15 day plan. 

 

cause he thinks he knows more than everyone?  

 

 

 

 

 

or he's desperate at this point because the stock market which he's hung his hat on is in shambles

Numbers have been dropping in washington cause all last week in the Seattle area was nothing but intense sunshine and 60’s.  Not even much pollution to block the sun.  This week may change that as the sun went away
