It is not an all on and then all off thing one day to the next. It has to be gradual, measured and with seasoned epidemiological guidance and backing. Every sector restarting will need different measures taken to ensure the workers' and the public's safety.

Other than in 1918, our local acute HC resources throughout the country were never in danger of being over run by Influenza.

the people with all the education and experience don't know what they're doing, but some anonymous schmoes on the internet with no applicable education or experience have it all sorted?
That is the entire basis of the modern Republican movement, that and greed.

I guess I'll have my desktop support guy design and build my next home - surely he knows more than architects, licensed builders and other such "experts".

That train of thought is simply stunningly dumb. I'm honestly baffled by their continued employment of it.

Yikes. You've really bought into the liberal lies, haven't you?

Republicans know that you can't just let an economy collapse, have half the workers out of jobs, and just expect to get along with paying families $10,000 a month, indefinitely, or whatever the amount Nancy Pelosi threw out. "Sooner or later, you run out of other people's money." (Margaret Thatcher)

The entire basis of the modern Democrat movement is to make being unproductive and unemployed more financially lucrative than actually contributing to society and working for a living. That spells: DISASTER.

Lol. Well, we got the entire world to cooperate in the take down, why not Outer Space!

Your liberties mean squat if you are dead. Living under a threat of a highly contagious virus with others who are either too Ingnorant or too selfish to concern themselves with any and all public health and safety precautions is no way to live. America is not about every man for himself. Furthermore this never should have been a political or economic issue. It's a public health issue period.
Our future dictator will love you. You do as your told, let the government think for you and when your told to drink kool aid you drink it. In fact I think you took a couple extra swigs of it if you ask me. Nice work comrade
