    That would be a change in policy. The Fed has always provided help in the past.

    This administration has learned very little though and they continue to misrepresent the seriousness of it with trump keep saying we have it under control and we still see record spikes.

    CNN wrote the tweet that was posted here, the one accusing Trump of “manipulating media”.

    What are you trying to argue here? And if you have no idea what’s going on in a conversation then why continue to argue?

    I agree that government has failed. It doesn't matter who is president or who has control of the house/senate. Government can't be everything to all people. If it tries, it will always s fail.

    Yet some people believe that giving government MORE power will be better for our futures.

    I just want to know wtf you’re talking about. Your position is that it is okay for the President of the United States to manipulate media? Or that it isn’t a big deal?

    Sorry, but this does not make sense to me at all.

    You can always define what the goal was, how to measure success and decide if the government actions were successful or not, even if it did not appeal to everyone.

    If the goal of the government in the face of a health outbreak is to do everything in it's reasonable power to mitigate this problem - we can look at the Ebola outbreak during the Obama administration and the Covid outbreak during the Trump administration. It is pretty clear that one of these administrations did everything reasonable to mitigate the problem with unqualified success, and the other not.

    I call hogwash.

    My goodness...have you been watching going on in many states lately?...how can you realistically say with any degree of certainty with the drastic increase in new cases in many states, that hospitals won't be overwhelmed?

    You're acting like Trump, and behaving irresponsibility by completely ignoring science and pretending there's not a serious problem.

    Hate to break to you, but attitudes such as yours, is part of the problem.

    The Mayors and Governors are opening the states/cities. Trump may be making remarks, but he's not really opening anything.

    I think we should be in lockdown, but if the government says its ok to go places and open shit, I'm going to go places.

    I think there is a real herd mentality even when it comes to the government with doing shit. Once one state opens shit, everyone else will because they don't want to feel left out.

    No it’s attitudes like yours that is part of the problem. The virus isn’t going away so you don’t shut everything down forever out of fear. You track hospitalizations and deaths to gauge what the response should be. I submit that we are currently in good shape.
