Then, after the lockdown, what? You are right back where you started.

That would be when I join the resistance. At this point, the folks in Texas aren’t going to put up with that.

I was on-board with flattening the curve, but that just means a longer process and gives the disease time to morph. Ending all restrictions would cause a few weeks of greater pain, but would allow the disease to burn itself out.

But let’s face it - the Anti-Trumpers want to prolong the crisis as long as they can.

“We need to end the Fed.

The Creature from Jekyll Island is a menace.”

Let’s start with this dude and go from there.

“ Seems we need a new Fed President in MN.
That’s up to the Minneapolis Fed. They hired him.”

Works for me.

Who is this guy, and why is anyone with a functional brain even listening to him?

And this money man has exactly what special knowledge about virus epidemics????

How can Trump fire a Fed official who insists on speaking about matters that (a) are not within his job’s mission and (b) he has no special expertise about???

“Not a Ph.D either.”

Even scarier...

He may know electrical engineering and finance, but I see no medical experience in his portfolio. So why is this even being reported as news. His opinion is like an a-hole, everyone has them.

“We need to end the Fed. The Creature from Jekyll Island is a menace.”

Has been controlling America’s money, credit and policies for a hundred years. True power brokers, playing with vast amounts of money and power.

Watched over and disciplined by our American government of the people, by the people and for the people.

(Pardon me while I vomit...)

“Trump was conned by Fauci and Birx.”

And that was facilitated by Pence.

There is one thing President Trump could and should have done: Tell the people to optimalize their blood level of vitamin D (40-60 ng/ml is the optimal range). Vitamin D regulates the immune system (makes it stronger, but at the same time prevents it from overreacting, the so-called cytokine storm). Vitamin D also stabilizes the endothelium, which makes blood clotting less likely. This is a great article about vitamin D and the immune system.

Because of Trump Derangement Syndrome the information should have been spread through intermediaries, for example Republican governors.

If it had been done, the number of Covid-19 victims would have been substantially lower and it would have been much easier to open up the economy.

I really don’t know why it hasn’t been done. Is the pharmaceutical lobby so strong? But all the other sectors of the economy would benefit. Why don’t they insist on spreading this information?

And he knows this because?

Is he an expert on the subject or is this just his feeling?

Are there any experts on this subject qualified to conclusively say what to do?

NO.

Are we just going to ignore the fact that Sweden never issued stay-at-home orders, kept schools open, didn’t close businesses and the general public does not wear masks... ...and the entire country is down to LESS THAN 1 DEATH per day from COVID-19.

“An N-95 mask filters out particulate matter larger than .3 microns. So the question then is how big is a COVID particle. A COVID particle is about .1 micron....this idea of people doing anything particularly useful w...a mask is just LOONEY TUNES.” - Sen. Dr. Scott Jenson, M.D.

Wearing a mask to enter a restaurant to then walk to the table and take it off is the dumbest thing I’ve ever had to do.

Trump can't fire him regardless. Fed bank presidents are hired by the bank board of directors. They are not presidential appointees.
