Trump hints possibility of less-restrictive approach in coronavirus fight

[underpants]

Trump’s ending the 15 day guidelines from CDC.
It’s on Fox News main page .....see if you can find it.

I caught some understandable grief about posting a Fox News link here just yesterday. Okay so I’m not providing the link.

It’s there but it’s hard to find.

1. People will die!

[StarryNite]

2. tRump doesn't care.

[Drunken Irishman]

5. Trump would rather have people die than the economy go into a depression.

7. Less old people. Less Social Security.

It’s a perfect Republican storm.

They aren’t producing anymore so who needs them?

[smirkymonkey]

15. I have news for him. If people start dropping like flies, the economy is going to

go into a depression anyway, and we are going to have a massive health care system failure on top of that.

Whichever way it goes, he is well and truly fucked.

[Texaswitchy]

3. Fantasy world for him.

He has a team who could have handled this but he fired them.

He had two months.

[Baclava]

4. When the bottoming market crashes through 10,000 he will be full of desperate measures

6. Hong Kong relaxed their virus-prevention mandates after rates of infection began to decrease.

The infections immediately spiked again. Trump's too stupid to understand this.

11. That just popped up on my phone.

Amazingly stupid idea.

[smirkymonkey]

16. +1000

8. I heard he was going to lift the social distancing

And tell people it's safe to gather together.

9. There are reports of both.

No social distancing (like his press rallies) and getting CDC to get rid of the 15 day rule.

[Golden Raisin]

10. Doctor/Scientist/Stable Genius Trump knows all

and knows best. With each passing minute I feel more like we are doomed as long as the Trump Regime is in power.

[GeorgeGist]

12. Only the Red states will follow Trump ...

over the cliff.

[Maru Kitteh]

13. That's not fight, that is surrender.

He doesn’t care as long as his base continues to blame it on China.

[maryellen99]

25. I also think he's going to start a war with China and nuke them.

He’s that desperate

[dalton99a]

14. The idiot sent it out last night

[underpants]

17. Yep. That's the basis of the Fox story

They probably buried it because they know that’s the rantings of an idiot. It won’t happen and if the cunt never knows it happened, it didn’t happen.

18. It's on front page of USA Today website

Very irresponsible but I think its a phony ploy to prop up stock market to avoid another major plunge as it is completely unwarranted to back away now as critical cases are rapidly spiking upwards and even in states like mine NC, there are cases in 45 counties and schools are closed at least until May 15 because of rapid spread in past week.

Trump suggests he might soon prioritize the economy over public health

The White House is apparently regretting letting medical experts handle a medical emergency.

As President Trump's top coronavirus doctor Anthony Fauci let on in weekend interviews, he's pleased Trump has actually listened to and taken his advice in fighting the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak. But starting with a Sunday night tweet, Trump indicated he's taking back the helm from Fauci as soon as the CDC's recommended 15-day isolation period is over.

There's a big problem with that strategy, experts warn. If Americans were magically been frozen in place for 15 days and the U.S. could test everyone, sure, the rampant coronavirus would die and it would be clear who needed further isolation or medical care, The New York Times' health and science reporter explained. But that clearly isn't happening, and, paired with America's late start on coronavirus containment, it shows why the U.S. probably shouldn't reopen for business just yet.

20. All the patience of a hungry cranky toddler

"Geez louise, it's been a week and a half already! Aren't we done with this yet? I wanna go golfing and have my rallies!"

There aren't many grown-ups left in the tightening circle of people who can get through to Needy Amin. This is highly bad news.

21. This is the beginning of the cull. n/t

[Bad Thoughts]

22. We now know how it feels to be the Kurds

Abandoned to danger by a moron and madman.

[underpants]

24. Great analogy

Sadly

[spanone]

23. The fucking genius wants to kill more people.

[evemac]

26. I am hoping the Democratic

Mayors and governors who are really the leadership heroes presently will continue to put strict requirements in place to mitigate this potentially catastrophic decision.
