We have been in isolation and non essential businesses have been shut down since the 13th including all bars, restaurants, etc. I am taking this very seriously as my wife is pregnant and my mother is 75.

I've argued for a while with friends that perhaps this is overblown but my tune has changed lately. That being said, this shouldn't mean that we are discounting the suicides and financial hardships and the people that are are certainly in a financial position to not care.

Given that everyone in France, Italy and Spain took it for granted until it was too late, he's not wrong to make people a tad more alarmist than necessary just so that people take this seriously.

So then why did Trump extend the guidelines until end of April?

Exactly

It’s not just with trump or his supporters.

Would be nice for once that people would put aside the partisanship given the current crisis.

Is every state run by an Italian or what? Forget about it.

This show has me as captivated if not more than breaking bad.

Which mortality rate ? The German or the rest of the world ?

Seems as though 25-40% can be asymptomatic and can also transmit the virus according to some sites I’ve read.

Sad that the media are going after dr birx. she may not agree with trumps methods but the last thing she can afford is going against him on tv.

Amazing how he can't shut the ***** up

and France.

1000 deaths in Italy today. WTF is happening there?

This is why you have a lot of credibility. There will always be those posters who will be cheerleaders and partisan but we already know that. No one turns on Sean Hannity to hear an unbiased perspective.

So apparently dr birx is now a mouth piece for trump according to the ***** show on Twitter.

Right now I’m under the impression that Italy isn’t testing anyone that isn’t showing severe symptoms. That being said, though this virus is not as deadly as in Italy, it seems to highly contagious which is scary.

There must be more to it that that as Cuomo himself was pushing for the drug to be given.

People look at headlines, this isn't unique to the orange man. That being said, maybe he is getting his advice from our man in exile, DC Tom who predicted that this would be over by just after Easter?

Does it really matter at this point? Justin Trudeau (who many of you here on the left would vote for) was extremely inactive up until a couple of weeks ago even though there were clear signs that this was going to hit Canada. Same thing for Italy and France. Everyone of these leaders took it lightly. Trump banning travel from China in January was a good move but it should have also been followed up by testing people coming into the country starting in February when this was obviously going to cause problems. All western leaders deserve a kick in the ass for this mess.

Let's be honest, Trump touting that things will be open in Easter doesn't stray too far from his usual off the cuff proclamations. I don't understand how people simply haven't gotten used to not taking those comments seriously.

Yes drinking a fish tank cleaner can kill.

As if they're not suffering enough?
