So, in lieu of a vaccine, we went to social distancing and shut-downs, which as many point out we don’t do for the flu. Even with that, covid-19 killed more Americans in six weeks than flu did in all of last year.
I’m not saying I was opposed to social distancing. The two extremes wanted either enough months of social distancing to elect Biden or ZERO social distancing. I tend to be in the middle, where the President is. So far, he has been right all along and I trust his judgement.
[COLOR=“Blue”]As I said in my prior post - the puts us on track for around 350,000 covid-19 deaths by next February, which means it will be the third most common cause of death in the US. That from a disease that didn’t even exist last year.[/COLOR]
Could have been a lot worse if a Democrat had been in office and not shut down flights from China and then Europe. It could have been a million, easily.

I don’t know what this “kung flu” thing is. I thought we were talking about covid-19 in this thread. If you want to start a thread about a different disease please feel free to do so.**
You know what it is. And you’re just acting triggered because I came up with a cutesy name for it. And you’re not being clever by claiming you don’t know. You’re just making us laugh at your TRIGGERED status.
No, but we’re about a third of the way there in just six weeks.
And again, I haven’t been opposed to what has happened up to now. The President has been right about everything and I trust his judgment.
**Let me clue you in to something.
The economy has ALREADY crashed. That horse has left the barn. The entire world economy has crashed, not just the US. Every economy everywhere. It’s just that the pieces of the wreck haven’t quite come to a complete halt yet.

But it wasn’t because of Trump’s policies. And if you liberals think you’ll be able to blame Trump for this economy in November, you’re going to look like idiots. Right now, this economy is about on the level of the Obama disaster. And nobody wants to go back to that.
Whether we stay on lockdown or open up wide and get even more deaths it doesn’t matter, the US economy has crashed.
The economy has not crashed. That’s like saying the disastrous Obama economy was a crash. We’re not even close to a crash. And some businesses (Like Walmart) are making a bundle in all this. I wish I had owned toilet paper stock because Charmin and Angel Soft are flying off the shelves.

The only question now is how we stay alive long enough to rebuild without the streets going Mad Max.

If Hillary had been president you would have had to worry about that. At this point, we already would have been looking at a million dead and martial law declared. Fortunately, the American people grew brains in 2016 and did the right thing.
