Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

In fairness Taiwan is an island a little bigger than Maryland with the population of FL. Not that your observations don't have merit but the context is a bit different than most places.

Mind you, I'm not simply discussing total infections/deaths, but per capita.

Taiwan has 24M citizens and is about the 17th most densely populated country on earth, is China's backyard and haven't gone lockdown. There's every reason to have expected high *rates* of infection due to those factors. Any way you slice it, Taiwan's response has been one of it not the most, effective.

How long do we stay locked down? Give me a date, or a breaking point such as case and death rate, that will determine when we open the doors again. Or use the standard of how many lives are financially and materially destroyed before we say "uncle"?
As much as I want everything back to normal I doubt we will be ready by Easter. This virus is just getting started as far as the numbers go. I know everyone has different opinions on the coronavirus (vs flu and all the death numbers to every other way you can die) but this is an unprecedented situation
 
You are divorced from reality.

"I'd love to have it open by Easter, OK? I would love to have it open by Easter. I will tell you that right now," Trump said during a virtual town hall event on Fox News.

'I'd love to have it open by Easter': Trump says he wants to restart economy by mid-April

You are divorced from reading comprehension; that is expressing a desire that our measures to that point will allow us to open the doors. It is NOT setting a deadline as Luther stated, it i?
 
Not exactly. Trump was impeached because he held up aid to the Ukraine in order to use the aid as leverage against their government leadership's willingness to perform a campaign favor for him.

Since we're doing exacts, Trump exactly stated Biden and Burisma should be looked into for exactly what Democrats accuse him of. And being the exact constitutionally-bound person to see laws are faithfully executed, can request the investigation - or cessation of investigation - of any person.

Being a candidate for an office doesn't exactly immunize one to lawful scrutiny, as we learned with candidate, nominee, and president Trump.

Sure, don't disagree materially with any of that. Still, we will have to turn the power switch back on in this country, and somewhat soon. Trump is stating that hard fact.
 
I have zero problems saying ...all of them are crooks , liars , thieves and will take advantage of the people based on their party , their agendas , their egos , and their bank accounts . When it comes down to down to the nut cuttin / doing the right thing vs all those other things , they will screw us over to save themselves every single time .. your turn SLICK . 😉

Bump ...the deafening sounds of crickets is overwhelming .

Surgeon General sitting right there with him -- maybe if smokers would have read his warning on cigarette packs they wouldnt have a respiratory problem making the virus more of a threat to themselves
