Alright, real talk. Why has he dithered for a month? He could just mandate a nationwide quarantine for 14 days, let the latent cases reveal themselves, isolate the infected, and restart the economy. Taking one half-measure after another is just letting the virus spread like wildfire AND killing the economy.

China suffered a much softer blow because they took it seriously after sacking (and possibly executing) the provincial officials responsible for the initial cover-up. They're now operating at 98% capacity.
South Korea did not have a shutdown at all because they were supremely competent.
Singapore did so well that they're already battling the second wave. They have literally lapped the rest of the world.

Oh, no. No, no, no. A 14-day quarantine isn’t going to save any country. Not a single one. If you think two weeks off the streets is what kills the rona, think again.
What do you think happens after the two weeks are over? People go out and cough into each other’s face once again - you are back into square one.
Quarantine will only work if you extend it through months and let people go out every once in a while. That way, people still get infected and some die, but hospitals don’t get overwhelmed. This kills the economy, though. And looting beings, see Italy.
Simply put, a two week quarantine is only useful to prepare yourself. You buy masks and respirators and recruit every single healthcare worker you can find - and brace yourself for a 45-day long shitfest.
America has no use for a short quarantine. When a state, ie NY, goes down you quarantine that one and that’s it. A two week quarantine isn’t useless for American-tier healthcare infrastructure.

If you don't get a respirator you pretty much die. So the real death rate could be much higher in countries that won't give out healthcare

China numbers are obviously fake, they probably have ten times the reported cases right now, according to the initial curve angle and the number of people there.
800k in a billion people is still low, real number should be near to 1.6 millions right now, IF they're managing well.

Lol, lemme tell you a tip. Fuck no it's not controlled as well as Italy. You've fucked up the restrictions completely starting already from inadequate testing for the first month, and it's falling behind again. Stay home orders are loose and all states don't want to order them. Travel restrictions nonexistent.

the awful part of this is that everyone that's unemployed has lost their health insurance, so they couldn't even afford to get treatment if covid ends up giving them complications that need medical attention

that's on top of the population that already doesn't have health insurance because they're unemployed or contractors

yup agreed. i've generally been pro-Trump over the years and a lot of the criticism against him over this coronavirus shit is unwarranted or overblown, but the half measure approach he has taken is the worst decision he could have made. Like you said it isn't stopping the spread, and it's destroying the economy. What's worse is that in a couple weeks the stock market's going to crash again, I expect another 25% drop from current levels at least. The rippling effects will last 3-4 years or more before we even reach break even with previous highs. Not to mention we haven't even seen the real estate crash yet. Obviously anyone with large amount of cash on hand can profit immensely but for most it'll be a rough few years.

Thanks Trump, you really fucked us this time.

Nigger, we've already surpassed WEEKLY influenza days DAILY, and we're 2 weeks (minimum) from peak

[Anonymous No.18278672]

Not having the whole country gradually infected by this right now is a national security risk. If one outbreak has fucked our country this bad, and we shut it down for 2 months to stop the spread, what's to stop some infected Chinese agent from coming into the country and intentionally spreading it as much as they can? If we react to the outbreak the same way again china will destroy us without firing a shot. The only option is to slowly infect the majority of the country, trying to keep the rate of infection at a level where the healthcare system isn't overwhelmed.

Here is how to tell if a problem can be solved in a capitalist system:
Does the solution involve and increase or decrease in short term consumption?
If the answer is decrease, the problem will not be addressed.
This is why we cannot address automation, climate change or obesity. "Reduce consumption" is inimical to the tenants of neoliberalism.
