I liked the path that the plan came up with. Timed right with some checks and balances and the understanding one size doesnt fit all.

Just put up a part 2 to this unfolding saga. Check it out.

The modeling from start to finish thus far has been just terrible.

I dont see it Valorius. Modeling and best guess is never an exact science. Fact is the virus is very transmittable and often deadly especially in the seniors. If I could find fault in what happened I would say not all states needed to shut down. It is just a numbers game. Once your seeded numbers get higher and people are clustered the outbreak is pretty predictable. Here in vt most of our cases and deaths were connected to elder facilities. We could have stayed open but our governor decided to err on the side of caution. Dont forget we know a lot more now about this virus than we did in March.

The dems won't vote to open the country back up till the election is over!

CNN's latest poll shows Trump up by 8 and winning virtually every battle ground state.

Seriously...it's like a 400+ EV slaughter. Of course I don't trust polls, just putting it out there.

Voters like winners. If we come out of this both medically and economically he will win in a landslide. If not it will be tough

Valorius

We really should already be opening up nationwide, victorious.

The Dems know that to do that is electoral suicide. "So we get what we had here last week. Which is the way he wants it."

It's a balance
open up wrong and you get the 200K deaths. Wait too long and the economy collapses. Trump loses either way. Open it right and the economy rebounds with no huge outbreaks. Trump wins.

We are already killing more from the shutdown than the virus. We've known this for a month now.
