Whatever you call it, a federal executive suggesting that States be "liberated" from their elected officials is unprecedented.

I didnt see Trump saying what they were to be liberated from. Maybe I just dont pay enough attention but I thought most of them were just "Liberate Michigan!" Types.

I guess i dont have the super decoder ring like you do.

As unprecedented as federalizing the National Gaurd and threatening to arrest a Governor?

I don't know, elaborate.

Trump has federalized the National Guard at least once and has called for the citizens of the States to liberate from their Governors.

So maybe.

To elaborate my own thoughts:
I’ve had this discussion with my wife and a friend who is a doctor. It’s not much different from manufacturing/logistics theory. HC is the bottleneck. You keep the bottleneck operating at capacity (or near it In this case) and do everything you can to expand that capacity.

That’s the optimal theory. IMO.

The trick of it seems to be in figuring out how to get to capacity without overshooting. Given the way this virus spreads, the relatively long incubation period, the fact that some carriers don’t show symptoms, etc. that would tend to create a lot of variables that make solving that equation quite difficult.

Even if you err on the side of shooting for 75% capacity you'd be much more open than we were.

Yeah I agree that there are a lot of areas right now that are well under capacity.

Chattanooga has like 12 hospitalized COVID cases right now, if I recall, correctly.

This is why I'm so interested in results out of Sweden. They are taking a more balanced approach. I think at the end of this history will show we overreacted and did unneeded economic harm. I'm not saying action wasn't necessary and measures shouldn't have been taken...I'm saying our actions and measures were clearly over the top...and a country like Sweden made the better decision looking at the same data everyone else had. I also think the media is going to have a lot of egg on its face after this is over.

UN warns coronavirus fallout will lead to the next pandemic – global starvation

While the World Health Organization warns that stringent guidelines need to stay in place to combat the spread of COVID-19, fellow United Nations agency World Food Program (WFP) believes that it will lead to an uptick in global poverty and starvation, and the response to the virus itself may end up killing more people by the end of 2020.

I don't understand why all the drama queens and press are surprised by any of this. What did they think the result of the fear peddled lockdown was going to be? It's like a dog too scared to come out of it's kennel and then gets upset it is covered in its own feces.

The egg on their face will hardly be noticeable when they start pounding the drum of dire economic circumstances. Viral panic, economic panic, election panic, etc.
