Politics BREAKING NEWS: I WILL defy the doctors says Trump claiming 'our people want to return to work'

I'm a guy that's all about "balance", it's how I live my life. I try to understand other people's perspectives. I try to balance how I spend my time, my priorities. I try to have balanced reactions to things and to stay calm too. This situation has been very odd for me. We've had a lot going on in our personal lives so my wife is stressed out anyways and the situation with what's going on at a macro level has her really stressed out. My calmness is finally starting to tip a bit the last few days and I'm trying to just adjust myself back finding the right place mentally.

Anyways I have made the point for a while that I believe we have to be careful as to how we respond to this situation. It's easy to say, "Shut everything down for a few months and then start over", but that could kill a lot of people too. Seniors not getting the care they require when caretakers don't show up, families losing their entire income, suicides, mental health taking an even sharper turn towards depression and loneliness for people. When supply chains break down, and stores stop being restocked. Then there is the other side this is obviously a pretty dangerous virus, it seems to spread like wild-fire and it can and in some places already has buckled health-services, it really seems disastrous for the high-risk people who get it (elderly - and those with respiratory/cardiac issues).

I honestly have no idea what the right balance to this is. I really believe at this point too drastic of measures in either direction could and probably will kill many people, it will be a defining moment in the history of the country. While people I'm sure will come to the defense of Trump, and many will say he's evil and all he cares about is the economy for his election, and there might be some truth to it. The way I see it at this point is this is almost a no-win situation for anyone, and yes it was a lack of foresight by Trump and the feds and even our states, but what they decide to do going forward will be very interesting and literally nothing they do or don't do is going to be without fault.

 

Trump's going to get us all killed. While other countries are shutting down for months he wants to get it back up and running again.

 

you should have balanced your post with a couple of paragraph breaks

just kidding TB

 

lol, I thought the wall of text look was better.

 

Trump's hotels and golf courses are all closed now. That's a big reason why he's saying this shit

 

Trump is easily the most incompetent person to ever occupy the white house.

 

And if it was up to Trump he'd have this country back up and running today!

 

He drank fish tank cleaner. Not medicine.

 

We're at the most critical juncture for the next 2-3 weeks in this battle with COVID-19 and Trump is going rogue against qualified medical experts' advice? I'm hoping that other people in his administration can talk him down off the "stupid" ledge or he's going to kill a whole bunch of people. Fortunately, most of the major population centers are under Dem control and they will likely ignore Trump's blather.

 

Fake news. I saw one or two articles that actually explained what the moron did.

 

Suicide rate is going to go up the longer people aren't working. As is Domestic Violence.
