I guarantee you there is already 30 million jobs lost as of this week.
Ok, so we open up everything and back to business and this thing starts to spread like wildfire again, what happens then?
Trump may want to open up parts of the country soon, but some governors have gone down the rabbit hole and aren’t going to be so willing to rescind their stay at home orders. Those governing liberal states will have the support (for a while) of their voters to continue with their lockdowns.
20 million by Easter, I think.
Yes, praying. This shutdown is an unnecessary fiasco. I cannot believe trump is in agreement
Daily new cases are still increasing. No way we can open the economy by April 12. Even April 30 is wishful thinking.
What are these "masks" you speak of? No one seems to carry them any longer.
This insanity has gone on long enough. It’s past time for this to end.
Frankly, at this point, I don’t even know what the words “jobs lost” mean.
We have deliberately shuttered businesses. We provided SOME money for some of them to continue paying employees, but most of the money we spent on unemployment insurance upgrades, indicating that we expect people to get laid off, and counted as “unemployed”.
This is our goal. Griping about 6 million unemployed, when we specifically ASKED for those 6 million people to go home and be unemployed, is stupid.
a 30% unemployment is not a “failure” at this point, it is a SUCCESS of the announced strategy of getting people to isolate.
I’m not saying it is a good idea, but it is what the nation is working for, and it is annoying that the media keeps acting like this is some shock, or a negative consequence of something.
If we wanted people to still have jobs, we would have poured the 2 trillion entirely into programs that forced businesses to keep workers on payroll, and then reimbursed them for all the costs.
It’s not going to be, (open by April 12) so now what?
It’s not opening by April 12, forget it.
In the meantime, this is an early post from today worth reading:
Trump MUST open up the country try on EASTER!
Fire Falsie Fauci
Im praying Trump acts boldly.
