Im shocked. Shocked. he must be extremely scared now, but we'll see what happens in a few days. especially with his crappy tweets.
yeah def hope not.
This is not a great idea. Whether it's a done deal or not for Biden, there are downticket primaries that function like general elections for some non-swing areas. Delay, or find a better method than in-person.
Also, even if it's a done deal for Biden, people really, really don't like when their vote isn't counted.
LOL, now you know the shit has really hit the fan if Trump is trying this approach after all this time.
Yeah. Funny how that is so much more terrifying than him lying in the face of a pandemic.
Okay, now it sounds like body-switching. What the hell is going on here?
Yeah this
I don't see how this is a surprise. The idea of "flattening the curve" to help the healthcare system maintain sufficient supply was always, by necessity, also lengthening the curve.
Eh we already knew this shit was coming for a long time now nothing new has being said.
Like I said dont fall for Trump bs act.
I just hope he stays this spooked and sober until the outbreak ends. The damage will be done to the economy and thus to his reelection no matter how he acts, so I'd prefer he act like this.
The doctor person clarified that's for the curve to flatten out, not that the current near lockdown situation is projected to last that long, and Trump was a fool for giving that impression. That's two weeks and then see where we're at.
This is more worrying to me than anything else he has said about this
You don't see how someone might look at the prospect of a nationwide self-quarantine for 4-5 months as a surprise? lol. You must be a very unflappable person!
As was said, flattening the curve doesn't necessarily necessitate lock-down for the duration of the curve.
I never said I was surprised.
I just worry about how the US wil be able to handle 4-5 months of almost everything being cancelled, postponed or closed. It has to be done, but it's unchartered territory for this country.
To clarify:
15-day lockdown recommended. July/August is just the length of time the virus would be here in a "major" way. The situation would likely improve over the months until then.

Considering how botched the response has been, I won't be surprised to see cases spiraling out of control in two weeks. They are STILL NOT TESTING tons of people who may be positive, I know, my wife works in the lab. Unless you are literally dying, they don't test you. Tons of people get all the other panels run, they don't have anything else so PROBABLY have coronavirus, and get sent home with orders to quarantine. Nothing is enforcing them to stay away from others.
Isnt it just a swab? He definitely lying. Bunch of fucking liars on that stage.
To me it was obvious we'll be periodically revisiting our mitigation strategies, but I don't think seeing school closures and limited movement until summer is that surprising (or unlikely).
I don't think it's surprising that the current level of 'stay inside' probably needs to carry on for a while longer; I do find it shocking Trump is willing to talk about it still being a problem that far off. At some point it sunk in for him that this is real, and that surprises me.
I honestly think he's just focused on convincing people they don't really want to get tested. "I got it, it sucks, you don't want it."

He's going to be pissed he was honest and they went down.
What were they when he started, down between 9-10%?
Pretty much, although my mind is wired to do extremely well under pressure, thankfully. I do IT support for 911 call centers, and I have the experience of getting those 2AM *nothing is working* calls already.
Right, that's what I thought on the July bit. A lockdown for 4 months would be fairly extreme, but if the curve is flattened, it's going to be a thing for months, though more manageable.
Manu Raju @mkraju"I would rate it at 10," Trump says when asked to rate his response to the outbreak from 1-10.
4:00 PM - Mar 16, 2020
People said this last week and he went and opened more campaign offices. I don't think he has any interest in doing the right thing.
Yeah it could be that. Ok they're describing the test in full now.
It's like he knew you were going to say that and immediately gave himself a 10/10 for response handling and this rambling description to clarify that he is, indeed, out oof touch.
Today is the day that Trump became president got internal polling that, when combined with stock market and job number projections, made him shit his pants.
