This is driving Twitter crazy of course.

President Trump said Tuesday during a Fox News virtual townhall that he wants the country’s economy re-opened by Easter amid questions over how long people should stay home and businesses should remain closed to slow the spread of coronavirus.

Speaking from the Rose Garden alongside others on his coronavirus taskforce, Trump said he "would love to have the country opened up and just raring to go by Easter." The holiday this year lands on April 12.

Trump also reiterated his argument that he doesn’t want “to turn the country off” and to see a continued economic downfall from the pandemic.


"We lose thousands and thousands of people a year to the flu. We don't turn the country off,” Trump said during the interview.

Trump added: “We lose much more than that to automobile accidents. We don't call up the automobile companies and say stop making cars. We have to get back to work.”

The president's prediction that the U.S. economy would be up-and-running by Easter, however, was tempered by comments earlier in the day by top officials at the Pentagon who predicted the COVID-19 outbreak could last anywhere from 10 weeks to three months

HRYK. This is actual leadership because if he is wrong the rotting corpse of Joe Biden is the next president.

    I wonder if Trump would have joined in with a racist lynch mob to beat a man into a coma. I know that's the kind of "leadership" you respect Owl.

    Cuomo and Newsom are hanging out with their own risk being the two ring leaders of the shut it down team.

    Sometimes, it is. I just started Erik Larson's new book on Churchill during the start of the war. Churchill was being criticized by some MPs for being too optimistic in the face of the loss of France.

    Not saying Trump is Churchillian, don't twist.
    Trump is Trumpian and I said this at the start. He is once again going to be criticized by the doom and gloom crowd for not joining in.

    Trump is absolutely right. Some things are predictable. We can all stay in our homes and then lose our jobs, houses, all go bankrupt and sit around like democrats and demand that the government with dwindling revenues pay off all of our debt, give us free healthcare, education, food and heat for the home they will put over our heads. And you millennial's? Mommy and daddy's basement won't be available for you anymore so you are going to have to wrap your head around that if you believe we can all sit in our homes for the next 6 months.

    One more week and then we're going to start going back to work. Oldsters should stay home and everyone under 60 that doesn't have a pre-existing condition such as diabetes or heart disease should start working.

    I'm ready to go back to work now. If I'm going to lose my job I want to go down swinging. Thankfully I have plenty of money in my 401K to live on if I do lose my job.

    Wishful thinking is the first think I thought of when I saw Pelosi's pork bill.

    Trump is more Patton than Churchill. Both were needed to win. I could easily see Trump slapping some tight jeaned pussy about his head with his glvoes at a COVID test facility.

    Why Japan appears to have avoided a mass coronavirus outbreak

    More than one way. I think the US contained at the start.

    Japan didn't shut it down

    Hope you’re in a state that deems your line of work essential and you can return to work if you need to. I do agree it’s a pretty fine line to walk in terms of public health concerns versus economic concerns. The “lockdown” can’t last forever in this country.

    A "Second Wuhan" was feared. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's popularity rating plummeted and critics called on him to resign.

    But the wild contagion calamity and the inundation of medical facilities seemingly hasn't happened. Why?

    "Japan relied on a strategy of quickly identifying clusters of new cases and then imposing containment measures to prevent a larger outbreak," Bruce Klingner, a specialist in Korean and Japanese affairs as the senior research fellow for Northeast Asia at the Heritage Foundation, told Fox News. "With relatively low numbers of COVID cases in Japan, there has been less international focus on the government's response than on South Korea's energetic testing program. While Seoul's actions have been described as the gold standard for the world, Japan adopted a less energetic, critics would assert lackadaisical, testing, and closure strategy."


    As of Tuesday, Japan – a nation with more than 126 million – had only documented 1,140 cases and 42 deaths. According to Bloomberg, Japan to-date has one of the lowest per capita number of infections within the realm of developed countries.

    I deem that getting paid and generating income is essential. I don't care what the state thinks, I'm going to work in a week.

    Fair enough. Many are going to follow suit around the same time you do, I’m curious what the responses will be.

    By the way, my wife (prop) was pretty pumped about the Easter date. Told me we are back in business according to Trump. She's become quite the fan but her affections can be fickle.

    This is actually what I want. Fucking kill everything now, like this week, and keep it shut for 2 weeks, then let everyone run amock after. If you haven't got your food, guns, and TP by now then dueces, you fucked up.

    I'm out of wine

    We're going to do one more trip to the grocery on Thursday because things are calming down out here.

    The thing is everywhere in America isn't the same. NY and Cal cities and Seattle are getting hit. Lot of places are not

    I have enough oatmeal to survive on if I have to. I was in a weight loss challenge anyway with my doctor. Down to 189 from 206

    It's all on a 2 week lag though bc of how long this thing incubates and the fact that it's infectious while incubating. Those places not getting hit and not doing lockdowns right now will be Cali, Seattle, and NY in a few weeks.
