And their sources are “two people close”. That isn’t very reliable. A couple of things that immediately refute that “news”. First, Trump loves to hear himself talk. He will never, ever skip airtime. Second, he knows he is behind Biden in the polls. Third, he can see that Biden cannot really handle himself under pressure. Two examples off the top of my head is when he was confronted by the factory worker regarding the 2nd amendment. In that he threatens to slap the guy, calls it an AR-14, and makes a few other mental lapses. Second example would be when his teleprompter went off during his recent speech from his house. He was clearly shaken and did not know anything about a subject he had reportedly spent weeks researching and gathering facts on. Add that together and there is absolutely zero chance Trump doesn’t get on the debate stage against Biden. I would bet every dollar I have that Trump debates Biden. Don't believe the polls. Purportedly Trump campaign polls give a completely different story. 2

I especially like the makeup of their polls. 1000 people polled, 500 democrats, 300 republicans and 200 independents. Biden leads Trump by 4%. Gotcha. 1 3 1 1

I'd believe it. I am pretty anti-social (I'd say I am a misanthrope) and there are days when this lock down gets to me and makes me want to go out and about in society. For normal human beings who crave interaction with others, this has got to be torture. I won't even go into the economic repercussions and how that is playing out. 1 1

He's since been more coy about his wording, seeming to say that he meant we won't be back to something like "normal" until then. But his original statement was that the shutdown would last through the summer. Setting aside the economic grey goo that would result from that long of a shutdown, it's just not necessary. 1 minute ago, Buffalo Bills Fan said: For me not going to make projections.

The economy just can't wait that long. But if we are back to work in July/August AND Covid is running rampant, then you can really look to your politicians, who got both the closure and reopening wrong. Edited April 16, 2020 by shoshin 3

With the exception of really hot spots still burning on May 1, I would think we better be reopening that first week in May to have any shot at a sub 2-year recovery. And that's ready or not. Put on the masks, install the apps, social distance the F out of yourself whenever you can and however you can, set up dedicated covid wards for testing and treatment...but get all the plans lined up and open 'er up.

No idea who's getting a layoff notice or what services will be cut.

You thought the state and federal government spending was responsible before this hit? Ha! Edited April 16, 2020 by shoshin
Justice Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 Anything short of everyone walking around looking like Heisenberg cooking a batch and getting sprayed down as they enter work/restaurants/any public place will be a failure in terms of number of deaths without a vaccine.
Troll Toll Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 I’m calling it now. With these differing reopen dates between states, the first states to open will be flooded with job applications from people in locked down states. If Democrat governors get too cute with their dates, people will flee their states at even greater rates. 2 2

I go into work two days per week now. I have very little to do other than to be here in case of an emergency.
