    Trump Reportedly Weighed Letting COVID-19 'Wash Over' U.S., But Was Warned Of Grim Toll

    President Donald Trump asked his top health adviser last month why officials couldn’t simply let COVID-19 “wash over the country,” infecting people, The Washington Post reported Saturday.

    In his haste to jumpstart the economy, Trump posed a frightening scenario to Dr. Anthony Fauci during a task force meeting in the Situation Room. No COVID-19 countermeasures would be taken so that people would quickly become infected, with some recovering to create a protective herd immunity, sources told the newspaper.

    “Why don’t we let this wash over the country?” Trump asked, a question others told the Post the president has raised repeatedly in the Oval Office. Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, realized with surprise that Trump was serious, the Post reported.

    Mr. President,” Fauci responded, according to the Post. “Many people would die.”

    My wife says there are people who quit working for her company just before this happened. I can't find an article that says the governor has waived any rules keeping people who quit from being denied unemployment. Hairdressers quit and get new jobs all the time during normal economic times.

    She says she doesn't think they are being granted unemployment just yet.

    If right that's not really good news. Especially if we're not ready.

    I forgot to state the graph's source, Morgan Stanley (the main competitor to Goldman Sachs).

    The funny thing (sad actually) is that people aren't staying home. They just aren't going to work.

    Someone in the home is going grocery shopping and many are still working like me. The kids are getting free meals at school and the fast food places are open.

    With visitors from all over the world every day of every month of every year we should have been way worse. Remember I went to a Knights game March 1st and things were still open for some time after that.

    This just makes me believe even more that this was already here at the end of last year and was full speed ahead in January.
