Trump seems hell bent on minimizing damage to the economy rather than damag e to the population of the US. He is spouting the same rhetoric that Larki n does saying the doctors want to "shut down the entire world".
I fully expect that if he tries to lift the isolation orders the states hav e put in place there will be a groundswell against him. In other times it might result in protests in the streets. But how can citizens who want to maintain a shut down assemble to protest?
It's a sad irony.
Can the guy really be so unhinged to think that we are anywhere near close to being able to lift restrictions? No, that's literally not his concern. He is worried that a busted economy will keep him from being reelected. H e is so worried that rather than try to find the optimum path, he is willin g to allow us to medically being bombed back to the stone age and remain th ere.
Even if he makes the move too early, realizes his mistake and relents, it w ill be too late. This is literally a once in a lifetime event. There will be no do overs. We need to have leaders who understand the implications o f opening this pandora's box and are willing to keep the lid on until it is safe.
This is one time when I am so glad we have strong states rights.
