Every responsible person is taking worst case scenario precautions because they don't know how many people in their cities, or states have the virus. Why don't they know? Because of DONALD TRUMP, not wanting "the numbers" to show up, and stalled, and is still stalling testing for the virus. Now he is rightly taking heat, so he is "acting" like he cares about us.
Maybe we would be here eventually with everything shut down, and maybe we should be here now anyway, but we are here because no one knows how widespread the virus is because of DONALD TRUMP. Period.
This is the only message that matters other than KEEP YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY SAFE.
Since we don't know, we can't take any chances. No chance to contain anyone because it has been spreading for weeks with no testing of any volume available.
Everyone should understand this.
It is obvious.

Trump fired the people who's job it was to prepare us for what is happening RIGHT NOW.
It was a perfect layoff right Donald?
Perfect.

(7,715 posts)I don't watch too much in the way of broadcast TV or YouTube, but are the Ds (Joe, Bernie, Bloomberg) running ads on Trump's utter failures with COVID-19? A few ads on Fox might help too.
You are right. My job is to take care of my family, since he federal government sure as hell ain't. I'm thankful I live in the Bay Area with a proactive, responsive state and local government.

(4,619 posts)Shutting everything down just because you don't know is insane, and necessary.
Because we don't know.
Use the WHO tests until we develop something better.
Not that too hard to wrap your brain around.
