Reopening and having too many people in the hospital was exactly what we flattened the curve to prevent. We can easily get back to that point in some hard hit areas while others we can see the hospital system crash. Death panels, coming to an area near you....

Yes, Donald. Without you suggesting that bleach be injected directly into the body, the states would've never made it. LMAO!

2.5 times the rage of death as Germany. Which is lead by a scientist, not a narcissist.

Time to start reopening folks.
I’ve read that states like Georgia are seeing an increase after opening. I’m all for reopening but it has to be measured and done smartly.

and yes, I posted a lot of links to videos in lieu of maybe this virus was a scam.....I don't believe it was a scam, but I do believe what people have been saying about how hospitals are reporting every death as Covid-19.

We are getting notifications in our area of restaurants that are closing their doors for good....people are going broke, they have to open up, what else can they do....

There have been reports out of Tiwan and Sweden that they were not hit hard, and Tiwan is located across the sea not far from China....but no one from Tiwan is literally going to China for Vacation, or work so? I hope they are studying the reasons why....
Sweden’s death toll is actually very high.

“There's a stark difference between it and its Nordic neighbors: per capita, its rate is almost six times higher than in Norway and more than three times higher than in Denmark.

Tegnell, the state epidemiologist, said on Tuesday that the high death toll has been a surprise, and a source of worry.

He has said that the Public Health Agency isn't sure yet whether the country made the right call, and is constantly monitoring the situation.”

Further, they have placed limits on gatherings, etc.

“Sweden has banned gatherings of more than 50 people, kept distance between people in bars and restaurants, and has banned visitors to care homes. With people encouraged to socially distance and work from home, public transport is often empty.”

And, they may not benefit economically in the long run, so, those “acceptable” deaths will have been for naught:

Maybe if Congress passed Bernie's Continuous Stimulus package, it would happen.

2,000 per passion l person backdated to March. Same conditions as the earlier stimulus.

As for keep bailing out. How many times would we continue to bailout the banks and big business. Bailout Main Street.
