Our economy is being destroyed for an “abundance of caution.” That abundance it measured by bureaucrats. Bureaucrats who see this as their crowning achievement for higher office.
Perhaps the economy is being decimated based upon the judgement of our President and governors...rather than esoteric models.
Put blame where it is due, if you must blame.
But blaming models is what a little girl would do, one who is trying to avoid truth.
I suspect a good portion, likely a majority of the American people agree with actions so far.
“Bureaucrats who see this as their crowning achievement for higher office.”
The highest office in the land is the cheerleader for “distancing”. It’s his policy.
RE: I guess more dead people would make you feel better right?
Embedded in that question is an unstated assumption — that a destroyed economy will not equally result in more dead people.
I suspect you are wrong.
“Just say no,” “ bring our girls back”, I gues it is hard to dispute the highest office in the land knows best. I would love to see the study that is able to control for the sensibilities and responsibilities of the American people to show that “ social distancing” has been anything more than a silly meme. It’s truly sad we can’t trust our government, but we aren’t the ones that responsible that. And although I support Trump, And I honestly believe Trump is trying to steer this nation until it returns to rationality, I don’t blindly follow anyone.
Are you saying President Trump lied to us?
Economy isn’t destroyed, just slowed down, we have came out of just as bad situations before if not worse.
RE: Are you saying President Trump lied to us?
There’s a difference between lying and sincerely believing that what you’re doing is the best thing, even though it might not be.
I believe that Trump is basing his decision on what his health experts like Drs. Fauci and Birx are telling him, however, these experts are advising him based on models that are wrong and have been off by several orders of magnitude.
Well, there is if the disease got here six months too early to boost your party’s election chances.
And the Clinton worshipers all cry in unison:
“What difference, at this point, does it make, anyway??!”
(We got what we wanted)

....
Exactly!
Based on these bogus models, Dr. Fauci and the Fake News breathlessly assured us that we were going to lose 2.2 million Americans to Coronavirus! Oops!
Based on these bogus models, Dr. Fauci and the Fake News breathlessly told us that we were going to lose 100K-240K Americans to Coronavirus! Oops!
Based on these bogus models, Dr. Fauci and the Fake News are now breathlessly telling us that we were going to lose 60K Americans to Coronavirus!
These models are sh*t! At present, we’ve lost 23,765 Americans from COVID-19! A far cry from 2.2 million, or even 100K-240K deaths!
All these models did was create fear and hysteria among Americans that resulted in segments of our economy being shut down! We are basically where we were just before Trump took office with regards to our economy!
This was the scam of the 21st Century!
It is not so much that decisions are made on models that turned out to be wrong.... But much like the Global Warming models, the models were designed to further a political and economic agenda.
Our power drunk governors yes, The President absolutely not. The President has issued not one closure order, not one. All closures and ALL unemployment is due to state and local officials as well as individual business decisions. In a nutshell our governors have utterly crashed our economy.
This is the reason I have stated for some time now. When the dust settles we must amend our Constitution in such a manner as to prevent both the federal government and the states from ever shutting down America again.
Far more people are going to be seriously injured or die from the widespread and long lasting massive unemployment. Poverty is deadly and the entire country is about to learn that lesson the hard way. The cure is going to be far far worse than the disease.
I suspect that people that think our economy has just "slowed down" are living on govt pensions....you just don't care about anyone else...
Why don't you explain why...I'm sure we'd all like to know.

Spreading out the “curve” to bring back the BodyMortgagers Mandate. No coincidence.
Health officials freaked out when China locked down Wuhan in rather dramatic fashion. Worst case scenarios became the default assumption and governments went into zombie apocalypse mode.
