If our economy is allowed to artificially tank through these voluntary state shutdowns for protracted periods of time over this virus, you’ll see a death toll you can’t imagine.

At some point soon, we’re are going to have to go back to work!

Well many states that waited to lock down are Just doing it now.

And some for 30 days.

This all needs to end by end of April.

Earlier would be nice.

We will look back at the numbers of sick and dead down the line and not believe we shut our economy down over such numbers.

Ghosts of the black death and even the Spanish flu will be laughing.

Someone needs to make the case to the ignoramuses in the chattering classes that a dead economy means way more people die, from multiple causes, not just suicide.

We’re trying to navigate between Scylla and Charybdis. All people see is the simpler to visualize CV direct danger.

“If we do not act quickly to reopen our economy, this could be worse than the Great Depression.”

Yet there are idiots in here that proclaim that we need to remain shut down for months! I’ve been warning that the economic fallout from this will vastly exceed any threat the virus represented. The economic fallout from this is one of the greatest potential threats this country has ever faced.

It doesn’t matter what anyone here says, idiots or otherwise.

It’s going to stay closed as long as this is going on.

Welcome to World War III, hope enjoy your stay.

At least half of the people sitting home can get back to work as soon as we can provide masks and gloves for them.

You still cheering on the shutdown? Fear has destroyed this county and people like you believe all of the bs the media and government shove down your throat.

It isn’t masks that are costing jobs, it is the lack of economic activity, and without that, a lot of people aren’t going back to work. I would be interested to see how an employer who laid off his workforce because he couldn’t support them is going to bring them back to stand around with masks and gloves.

Why would I cheer it?

You think I like sitting in my house all day waiting to catch Wuhan Red Death? You think this is a good time to me?

I don’t even watch the media outside of Tucker these days, but you can make some more wild generalizations about me if you want.

You are one of the cheerleaders for this lockdown approach. Now instead of worrying about the ridiculously low odds of dying from this stupid virus you can now be terrified of the very high odds of getting eaten up by a Venezuela type economy. Congrats.

hey chris...just because YOU don’t have a job doesn’t give you the right to tout the destruction of ours. People like you ARE the problem. Weak, spineless, and completely duped by the lies of the enemy

I didn’t do a thing to you. Nothing. I am not your problem. You are paranoid.

You are your problem.

“We’re trying to navigate between Scylla and Charybdis.”

Sounds like a minefield of STD’s.

Maybe your odds are low, but mine ain’t.

And I don’t really recall cheering anything except good news on possible treatments.

But I will say that if we are on lockdown, and there are idiots running around making the lockdown pointless with their idiocy, then I am not going to be very happy with them at all.

That is what Japan is doing. All workers are wearing masks and everyone is working. But our country forgot to order enough masks for an emergency. but they sure know how to spy on Americans and Presidential campaigns.

We ordered masks over 10 years ago to be prepared. The order was mismarked and we received hundreds of masks, N95's, N100's, P100's and suits. So we called our local hospital and offered to give them hundreds of masks and they refused, due to them being over 10 years old.

I have to say, they are individually packaged in their own plastic, packed 10 to a sealed box, never been opened. Refused them, there is no expiration date on the package. So we called the Salvation army, will you take outdated masks, perfectly new in the package, yep, all of them.
