If mitigation is stopped prematurely, infections will soar, and economy will be in even much worse shape. If people follow guidelines from coronavirus.gov for entire month of April, the country will be back in business.
I am in Pittsburgh too. The numbers don’t add up. It’s gotten absurd with how people are behaving especially at work. Someone coughs and is reported or someone jumps across the hall because I was within 6ft. And I’ve sent my whole staff home to work. I am 65 BTW. I just won’t live in fear. It’s a choice.
This whole Sh!t Down is ridiculous.
Wash your hands, go back to work
Drink lots of water
Half of us have probably already had it
People are dying WITH coronavirus.
Even the New Orleans lady (39 years old) who died had a serious intestinal issue for two years her boyfriend lied about. He said she was known to be in “perfect health.”
This is not a bad problem. It’s a serious cold, and that’s it.

Your post was great and appreciated.
(Now the mayor of D.C. wants to put people in jail for going outside.) Ugh....
Sir, thanks for the job you do!
Please don’t confuse a possibly stupid overreaction with an evil one. I am in a lock-down state. Does that automatically make my Democrat governor an evil person? I think not.
My liberal acquaintances see every move that Trump makes as an evil one. I try to avoid that kind of mindset. Absent more evidence, I will not assume that everything a Democrat does is evil. Stupid, maybe. But not evil until more evidence is prevented.
Where the hell do you see signs of country being destroyed? Yes, we’ll have less means to enjoy life, but it’s not like we see mass hunger, looting and destruction of social order. The country is struggling to overcome a danger and succeeding at that. No one expected it to happen and we all (I hope) trying to make it pass. There will be consequences and adjustments of how people live in this country, as they should be. But to run around like your hair is on fire is unreasonable, at least, at the moment...
Once we have an antibody test, it will be interesting to know the results.
In the meantime, we Don’t know.
Communism is Satanic. It is Satan's answer to representative forms of government. It is the counter punch to freedom.
It will always be around in one form or another. There will always be a lurking ideology trying to seduce people into giving up their freedom for free stuff (which is only slavery in masquerade).
Believing communism and its heirs will end up on the trash heap of history is like believing that one day there will be no drugs that offer a few brief glimpses of heaven in the present in exchange for a future of hellish addiction.
The main things to beware are the Amazonification, Googlification, and Appleization of the U.S. economy. Monopolies are satanic.

He closed all our liquor stores. That's cruel.......... almost a SIN.
Agreed. That’s the eternal struggle to suppress our animal instincts.
Ask AT&T and Standard Oil about what happens to monopolies.
It’s not safe, letting criminals out, there will be looting and rioting, mayhem is coming, too.
This has been the most awful Sh!t Show ever produced. I don’t buy into the lock down the country. Those who are afraid can stay home. My son’s hospital has had to furlough doctors - 500 of them, because there are no patients.
[Watching Laura Ingraham and she is playing clips where Dr Doom is basically setting up the extension into May and June. depressing as hell. We will no longer have a country at that point. If some areas are not opening in May l see no way around a full on depression.]
so who cares if our young families and our working families suffer immense personal losses as long as you are "okay"...v
its great that some freepers are all set in life, but most Americans are not set...they don't live on ranches or in small towns or have immense wealth...most Americans live hand to mouth...so losing a job is losing hope.....
at least pray for them....
It may be time to put all Americans (esp. first responders/health care workers) on the HCQ/Z-Pack cocktail.

Okay.
Mask or no mask?
There are a few "officials" ou there now saying masks are no good for us regular peons. That young man, Surgeon General Jerome Adams was spewing that crap today, and he wasn't the only one.
I agree. Please note. We are in a depression right now and worse. Fear of each other? It’s all cascading both in the economy and among people.
