What happens when they open back up? There seems to be no line at the hospitals, only lines I see are the ones restricting businesses from full capacity. Wonder why?!?So, you are against the shutdowns then? Good to know, and me too. Thanks.How long should the shutdown be? When will the virus disappear? How many times have you been out of your house since this all started?So, just deflection. Got it.Life must go forward. Democrats would destroy our economy, democracy, society, and our way of life because of their hatred of President Trump. Newsflash to the socialist/Marxist/ Democrats (all the same) the average working class American supports OUR President and OUR Republic.Speaking of reality. Did you really think the virus would magically disappear after the lockdown?It's June almost July.... really Democrats? Your governor's, state legislators, Mayor's and city council's are using COVID 19 as an excuse for piss poor leadership.![]()
Public health experts are increasingly frustrated with America's lack of leadership on coronavirus | CNN
Even after widespread lockdowns, the United States has failed to stomp out the coronavirus and again finds itself in a rapid surge of cases. Public health experts place particular blame on a lack of leadership.www.cnn.com
Again, I ask, what reality do you right wingers live in? How do you create an alternative reality that deals in "facts" and "truths" that you believe? Is it right wing media? Are your minds that soft?, that weak?, that malleable?
Leadership starts from the top down. Those deaths and economic carnage get laid largely at the feet of the person who was responsible for coordinating and directing action to combat the spread of the virus...but he was too
busy denying and rallying. Now we're on the upward path to another March 11-13, 2020. And still, no leadership from the White House. I've given up at this point. Bring on November. Time to clean house.
But you just keep going on blaming the media.

Are we supposed to keep the country/world locked down?
The reality is you can't control a virus, the lockdown just prolonged the spike. 99+% of the people who contract the virus either don't show any symptoms whatsoever or recover within a week, that's reality.
Good of you to hit all the alt-right talking points. But you forgot "they hate America".
Oh yeah, Trump has already shown he doesn't care one iota about the virus or what havoc it wreaks.
Most of us have dismissed him already. We'll just formalize it in November. I sincerely hope that most
sane Americans will also take this opportunity to show the Republicans the door as well. Long past time
for them to be in the minority again.
What deflection? Nothing to deflect. There are no Democrats trying to destroy the economy, or the country, or anyone's way of life. Those are just alt-right wet dreams. No one wants to see a shutdown. But governors, mayors, and business leaders were forced to (and it looks like forced to again) take action when there was nothing in the way of guidance or action from the White House. Something that continues to this day. But I'm sure you'll absolve your hero of ANY responsibility. It's all the big, bad Democrats fault.![]()
No one is advocating for a shutdown. That's the point. People are advocating for common sense and TESTING. Masks, social distancing, making sure enough tests are available, contact tracing, etc. Work on a reliable anti-body test.
I believe the first shutdown would not have been largely necessary if people could just be trusted to do the right fucking thing. Wear a mask, social distance, hygiene..and if you have so much as a sniffle...STAY HOME!!
I also think if we had anything resembling a functional head of the federal government, we'd be in better shape. But the guy was more interested in campaigning (like he has since the day he was inaugurated) than he was in doing his job.
I've been out of my house quite a bit over the last two months. I wear a mask, give people a wide berth, and make sure I use hand sanitizer and scrub my hands until they are almost bleeding.
If human beings could be trusted to do the right thing. Wear a mask, social distance, keep in mind the more vulnerable. Stay away from people if you feel the slightest bit under the weather. And if our President and his merry band of sycophants would have taken this virus seriously in January. But that time has passed and that shipped has sailed, and as Memorial Day proved, most people are idiots. 40K new cases just today. Just too many people who aren't taking the threat seriously. We may be screwed here. Some states may have to shut down again...maybe for an even longer period of time.
