Do you think it's remotely possible to 'fix' the economy *without* reopening?
Sweden may well have *had* the right idea, leaving things open, but we closed
things down. Now we have to reopen, and the CDC has developed guidelines (a
plan) for doing so.
Geeeze!
It is still just a list of reasons why they can't open and what has to
happen before they can, no more no less. That is based on a model that
may be flawed.
You said it, this is a "novel" situation and they are making things up
on the fly.
Doing it in an election year means it is as political as medical.
The democrats are already talking about how bad "Trumps" economy is.
They have no reason to fix it until January. What do you figure the
debt will be by then? $30 Trillion? How many people will be out of
work? How many homes will be lost? How many businesses will be gone
forever?
The Dems don't have a track record of fixing things. When called upon for
action they hold an investigation and usually come to the wrong conclusion.
Do you really believe any of the top Democratic operatives could have or
would have led us to a better outcome? Most of the career politicians, Dems
and Repubs, would be relieved if sleepy Joe got elected.
