is going to have blood on their hands. They shouldn't let Trump bully them into saying he could end this early.
Yes there might be States (Trump called them countries) that might not be experiencing the effects of the spread of this virus like some of the hotspots are - but they might just be behind the development of the spread.
Remember when West Virginia was the only State that didn't have any cases. Well they do now. They were a little behind the curve but they're catching up or maybe now have even caught up to most States.
Trump is focused only on the economy. He focused on his re-election. Trying to accelerate the methods that have been put into effect to mitigate the virus in the wrong thing to do. He's asking for trouble.
Any person that falls for his early end to this and begins to cheat on the measures that their Governors have put into place are just plain stupid. They are putting not only their lives in harms way - but their family, friends, neighbors and co-workers in harms way. They are putting all of us in harms way.

(15,078 posts)What happens to people who are employed by Trump freaks and they are forced to go back to work because The Orange One said it was OK? It's likely that they will be fired if they refuse - or they will get sick and expand the infection rate. And if they are fired, they can't claim unemployment benefits.
These are sick people.

(6,251 posts)Smallish population, mostly rural, widely spread out. Our 16th case was the first community transfer case. All others have been brought in from out of state by travelers.
Luckily, our Republican governor, Jim Justice, is taking his cues from Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, rather than from Trump. Our schools were closed before our first case was diagnosed. Restaurants were changed to takeout and delivery after only a few cases. And we were ordered to stay-at-home yesterday, one day after New York.
I don't think that he'll jump on the early-end-of-seclusion that Trump seems to have in his plans. Gov. Justice is actually listening to the health experts.
