Well, we are going to see the negative results of months of Democratic maybe's and absolutely not with the exception of our own or those politically associated with us.
Oh, it most likely won't kill you? Would you ride with a drunk driver? Would you use street drugs? Would you drive a car at a speed over 100 mph on the open road? Would you take the risk of a rattlesnake bite? If you are going to take inordinate risk, then it had better be for some cause undeniably good such as combat on behalf of your country.
People on welfare are obliged to seek work and take work available in many places even if the work is odious and a poor fit for the person.
You are a fool. You think you represent the common man, but you loyally serve people who believe that no human suffering can be in excess so long as it serves those elites. Furthermore you cannot recognize that people as American as you are are fully American.
A month is a little quick. Two is a little high.
First you have to go with the metrics, you have to go with the test results. When you are preventing tests as Trump did to minimize the bad results, you are sort of stuck.
But most nations did test and did isolate and thus did flatten the curve. Trump didn't. I might be curious as to how long the various successful countries did stay shut down. The question as to how long you have to shut down on average is likely answerable by now.
The problem was with the happy talk. A significant number of people refused to shut down as the political leader they were committed to discouraged it. If you do not shut down completely and all states at once, the shutdown has to last longer to achieve results. That is why the lack of a nation wide strategy hurts.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
