New numbers from Stanford obliterate Democrats' fake COVID scaremongering

You believe people staying in their homes and businesses shutting down amidst one of the most contagiious viruses the world has seen has had minimal effect?

I believe Trump did a good thing shutting down travel from China (partially) in January. After that, he held rallies & golfed, and assured everyone that he had contained things because of that one action and that our 15 cases would go down to zero. Local leadership did the work on the shutdown, which Trump has been all over the place on, from measured support to his "liberate!" tweets.

He's been a terrible leader for this kind of crisis. The opposite of steady & strong.

Based on the model projections, Trump is a savior.

True or false.

He WASN'T wrong. Closing down the country is to stop Democrats from lying him out of office. You don't get to lie and then demand that you be rewarded for lying by your opponent automatically surrendering the presidency. That's the logic of a petty child, not a thinking adult.

So he closed down the country with all the damage to the economy for purely political reasons? A good leader would do what is right for the country rather than be cowed into pleasing the Democrats. If he refused to close down the economy and he was right about the virus not being serious he would be a hero and the country would be better off.

They may claim otherwise, but all the actors were in the same boat at the same time.

Trump, Fauci, Pelosi—who was encouraging people to crowd into China town in January. DeBlasio was doing likewise in NYC. Cuomo apparently didn’t do too hot preparing for things.

I think singling Trump out for criticism is dictated by politics. Check that, I know it is.

Nobody singled him out (except Democrats). But he was the one in charge who made the decision to declare the emergency. If the virus was not that serious why did he take such an action?

Trump didn't shut down the economy. The governors did. They were reacting to (and sometimes feeding) the fear mongering from the Democrats and other liberals.

He said he had "all authority" to make such decisions and supported their actions.You supported his claim that he had that authority.

The serum antibody tests weren’t coming out at the time.

Don’t be surprised if things change, significantly, over the next few months.

Trump didn't close down the economy. The governors did.

The Chinese are to blame, Democrats definitely over reacted and it's not very dangerous as studies have shown especially the Stanford one. I doubt if the death rate turns out to be anymore than 0.1 or the same as flu. Walt Shitman is an alarmist, then again you probably are as well.

We know Wuhan is to blame.

Current federal guidance instructs Americans across the country to avoid gatherings of more than 10 people; work or attend school from home whenever possible; and abstain from eating or drinking at bars, restaurants and food courts.

That is pretty restrictive although not as far as many states have gone. You are free to ignore state instructions with little chance of punishment.

Do you still claim Trump has "all authority" over this issue? If so, he could reopen if he chooses.

The President has all the authority he needs to force the governors to relinquish their power grab.

Then why doesn't he do so?

The states having a republican form of government gives the president no authority, especially to interfere with rights of the states to regulate health matters. You advocate a big federal power grab.
