Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsAre we going to let this psychopath kill us? Will we permit him to override our governors and bring
an end to the shelter in place orders they put in place? OR, WILL WE USE OUR COMMON SENSE AND CONTINUE TO AVOID CONTACT WITH OTHERS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE?
"Oops!" just ain't gonna cut it, folks, if IT "opens the country with a big bang" without having the slightest damn idea how many are sick and whether or not we have peaked! And, we don't have this information BECAUSE Trump's testing capability and his response to the pandemic in general would have to get one hell of a lot better to be rated merely a clusterfuck!
I am fortunate to be retired and our self isolation for the past month or so has been much easier than it has been for some. But, on the other hand, we are seniors and more than a little aware of our mortality. How many years of the unknown few we have left should we have to forfeit because the damned electoral college elevated an arrogant idiot into power? When, if ever again, will our family break bread together? What about Thanksgiving? Christmas? Will I ever hug my grandchildren again?
Reopening Trump's damn economy before we have even the beginning of a nationwide testing program and at least a tentative plan to vaccinate ALL of us when a vaccine is developed is, at best, a crap shoot. At worst, it will be the needless death of tens---hundreds?---of thousands of US! Not "them"; US!
As Don Corleone warned in "The Godfather": "THAT I will not forgive!"
Kharma is coming for you, Trump---one way or another.

(2,768 posts)Some states are going to get the curve bent while others take their citizens straight into the mouth of hell following that idiot. We are going to have partial lock downs for as long as this suck face bastard is still president. The rest of the world is eventually going to put a travel ban on us and the states that get this under control are probably going to have to put travel bans on other states because they refused to stop being stupid.
*sigh* why are people being so stupid.
