republicans want it to spread because the economy is the only thing theyre concerned about. Theyre too stupid to understand what has already happened.
Our only hope is that governors band together and knit a national response by mutual agreement.

(25,471 posts)This was entirely predictable at the federal level and, to some degree, at the state level where states are heavily Republican.

(16,858 posts)When he praised the "free market" and its response. If you take that, with his screed about not being responsible for providing the states with their needs, it becomes very apparent to those with eyes to see that our federal government, at least our current leadership, has no plans for an organized federal response and is willfully ignoring its role during a national tragedy. We know what's coming, the only question in my mind is will enough of the country be willing to see just how awful and damaging this administration's response has been. This could have been predicted in the total lack of response to the devastation after the hurricane in Puerto Rico, a response that trump praised extensively. We are now watching the same amount of care on a national level.

(34,661 posts)suppression of the true viral case numbers in Red States is about to come back in ugly stories later on.
Utah is a example. Been following the spread from Salt Lake City on the North and St George on the Southern Border. The Politic of Conservatism and suppression has kept the truth suppressed until the local Newspaper finally had to report the truth after social Media exploded about how many cases there are in real time.
Spring Break was a major transmission for both Utah and South Dakota.
