I thought we are supposed to stay inside and wait for Trump to save us?
Unfortunately Trump is all about saving himself right now so we can't trust him for that.

Whatever state you are in hopefully has a responsible governor and local officials that actually are listening to what the professionals in these areas are telling them and working with local businesses to keep their workforce and the public at large as safe as possible.

This is why it is so important people show up and vote Democrat up and down the ballot, we are being hung to dry by these Republicans.

So you think the best policy during a "health pandemic" would be to shut everything down so the entire hospital fails during the pandemic? that's why Trump wins. you guys want a shut down. you want businesses to shutter and then you want to be angry when the businesses fail. Who is paying taxes to pay for the subsidized healthcare we have right now? almost nobody! Now you side will have to come to terms with the fact that their isn't enough tax money to pay every business in america to stay closed and pay every person to stay home. it's impossible it will never work anyway. should have never happened. If you are scared go to church.
What an interesting alternative universe you live in.

Is this the president of your world?

Here's some good news :)
Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden continues to maintain his lead over President Donald Trump in polls, with a new analysis suggesting that the steadiness of the former vice president's polling results is "record breaking."
Recent polling results have Biden ahead of Trump by a range of 3 to 9 points. A survey published last week by Monmouth University in which possible Libertarian candidate Representative Justin Amash of Michigan was added to the mix also showed that the former vice president was still ahead of Trump by 7 points.
"Not only is he up 6 points over the last month or so, but the average of polls since the beginning of the year has him ahead by 6 points. Moreover, all the polls taken since the beginning of 2019 have him up 6 points," an analysis by CNN's Harry Enten published on Sunday explained.
"The steadiness in the polls is record breaking. Biden's advantage is the steadiest in a race with an incumbent running since at least 1944," he wrote.
A YouGov poll conducted from May 3 to 5 showed Biden ahead of Trump by 4 points, or 46 percent to the president's 42 percent. Similarly, a CNBC survey carried out from May 1 to 3 showed the former vice president ahead by 3 points, backed by 47 percent of respondents compared with Trump's 44 percent.
The recent Monmouth poll, which was conducted from April 30 to May 4, showed Biden with an even firmer advantage of 9 points. In that survey, Biden was backed by 50 percent of voters while Trump was supported by just 41 percent. However, the gap narrowed by a few points when respondents were given the option to vote for Amash, who garnered support from 5 percent of voters. With the possible Libertarian candidate on the ballot, that polling showed Biden would still be supported by 47 percent of voters. Trump would only be backed by 40 percent of them.
Ha Ha Ha!!!!

You're a complete idiot.

During a pandemic, or even an outbreak for that matter, the first thing hospitals do is shut down any and all elective services.

Since you're a troll, and obviously a republican which means you never made it past the 10th grade, I'll dumb it down to a level you can understand.

An elective service is anything you don't have to have. Hip replacement, mesh implants, knee replacements, things like that are all elective. You don't need them to survive.

The reason those services are shut down is simple: contamination. You can't risk bringing people in to a venue that is housing a virus. For one, it virtually guarantees that people will become infected and have complications after surgery. Secondly, it also guarantees that you (the hospital) will be sued clear to Mars for it when it happens.

Guess where hospitals make most of their money? Elective surgeries and services.

It's not coronavirus that is shutting down hospitals. It's hospitals on guidelines and insurance rules to prevent them from being sued that does it.

This especially hurts rural hospitals because they have far fewer patients of any kind, so what little income they had is instantly lost, and to make matters worse they don't really have that many covid-19 patients to take care of either.

But nobody waived a magic wand and shut down hospitals. That is the thought process of a complete idiot. It's the hospitals and their insurance companies that are doing it.

In short, they have nobody to blame but themselves.

The results of the lock down protests in Michigan...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

https://patch.com/michigan/across-mi/location-data-protesters-without-masks-ppe-may-have-spread-coronavirus-north-west

Location Data: Protesters Without Masks, PPE May Have Spread Coronavirus To North, West Michigan
The protest dubbed "Operation Gridlock," involved a crowd of about 4,000 people who used their vehicles to slow traffic in downtown Lansing.

Conservatives who didn't exercise social distancing as they gathered April 15 at the Michigan Capitol to protest Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's "Stay Home, Stay Safe" order might have later spread COVID-19 to smaller communities, according to cell phone location data.
The protest dubbed "Operation Gridlock," involved a crowd of about 4,000 people who used their vehicles to slow traffic in downtown Lansing. Some participants claimed they intended to simultaneously protest and maintain social distancing by staying in their vehicles, but several hundred exited their cars and protested directly on the Capitol grounds.

Doctors with the Committee to Protect Medicare say those who got out of their vehicles without face masks or personal protective equipment (PPE) and didn't stand 6 feet apart likely helped spread COVID-19 to smaller communities that aren't prepared for disease outbreaks.
New data released Monday by location data firm VoteMap shows a little more than 300 devices equipped with geo-location technology were pinpointed in Lansing on April 15. Votemap pulled location data from devices that had geotagging-capable apps turned on during and after the protest.

VoteMap says the location data was anonymized to protect individuals' privacy.
After the protest ended, the mobile phones were tracked across Michigan as their owners dispersed. Several clusters popped up in West and northern Michigan.
West Michigan is seeing some of the biggest spikes in COVID-19 right now, with infections set to peak in that region in late May through June. Hospitals in both West and North Michigan are preparing for a wave of COVID-19 patients in early summer. Several are reporting a lack of personal protective equipment, testing materials and ventilators needed to handle larger surges of patients.
The data is a "bright red flag" that shows the irresponsible actions of a few hundred people could put medically under-equipped communities at risk of experiencing higher infection rates, according to Dr. Rob Davidson, an emergency physician in West Michigan who ran for Congress as a Democrat in 2018.
"Every public health expert and medical professional has been warning America that people who don't maintain physical distance could be dispersing a highly contagious, lethal virus into their communities and endangering their neighbors and their loved ones," Davidson said. "These reckless actions threaten to set back all our efforts to slow the spread of COVID-19 and reduce the rate of infections."
VoteMap and the Committee to Protect Medicare plan to release cell phone data later this week analysis from the smaller protest Thursday.
ohhhhhhhh, they're just getting started..i predicted this place to be like a Tim Burton movie in 2016 by the time he's done with us..
