You First

You want to open the economy and the country again, now rather than later. With cases rising, deaths soaring and aerial photos of mass graves in NY, you want us open.

Fine. You First.

Here is what I suggest, you and your family, friends, admin, The GOP Senate and House can be the canaries in a coal mine. I want all of you including wives, kids and grand kids to attend a huge gala, the likes that the world has never seen before at Mar a Fuggo. We can make it a Disco Party like the last one at your seedy resorts. OOps, that did not work out well.

I want ya all there, shaking hands, kissing cheeks and stimulating the economy. No masks allowed for ya rich peeps, only the poor underpaid staff will be allowed PPE.

I want all your supporters standing outside shoulder to shoulder, coughing and sneezing on each other as they scream "Lock Her Up". MAGA!

You want to open us up, You First.

After all, it is only a Democratic Hoax. So party 'til ya drop....

“You go first,” will be my response to people who haphazardly suggest opening things back up without scientific evidence that it is safe.

Their misguided government decided not to impose any restrictions, and they have the worst increases in outbreaks and deaths in Europe. They have 9,685 cases, 544 new cases, 870 deaths and 77 new deaths today. That's 86 deaths per million population. By contrast, their neighbor Norway, with strict controls on quarantines, meetings and travel, has 6,314 cases, 95 new cases, 65 deaths, 5 new deaths and 21 deaths per million population. Denmark, which also has restrictions, has 5,819 cases, 184 deaths, 247 deaths, 10 new deaths and 43 deaths per million population. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ Sweden is the canary in the coal mine.

He opens in May all the sacrifice the care givers did to save lives are for naught as the sick will spike, as will the deaths. Many of which paid with their lives, will be right back there without out the PPE, that he OUTRIGHT REFUSES TO GIVE THEM.

I am incredibly angry right now.

He wants to "win" everything this new number should thrill him. 130 more deaths and we will be #1 in the world for most deaths. We just topped the 1/2 million cases point. Isn't "winning" great?!?

I've been saying the same thing. Particularly down in red states. You guys want to carry on business as usual, go right ahead. Knock yourselves out. Give it 2 or 3 weeks and we'll see how that works out for ya. Even less for those already infected due to their own stupidity.

So true. Let them work in a hospital for awhile. Then see sure they are about opening everything up.

Have a three-week quarantined MAGAt party at Mar-a-Lago, breathing the same air, touching the same fake gold crap. Let's see how safe it is.
