Dr. Fauci has stated we should not relax social distancing until we have no new cases of Covid ... and no deaths from Covid.... let that sink in....
It'a almost as if they are trying to destroy the economy..... hmmmmm

But nothing to see... just move along... this is a pandemic after all, just like the the other pandemics.... well sorta

Here's someone who disagrees with you:

Unemployment will easily rise to 15 percent and GDP will plunge by $3-5 trillion if the Coronavirus lockdowns don't end by May. The economy will recover slowly and radically changed, many businesses have permanently closed and many jobs are lost forever.

Stock investors can expect continued turbulence and a slow recovery to the record high prices set in February. Many bond issues will fail absent direct intervention by the Federal Reserve and Treasury that would impose losses on taxpayers.

Stimulus spending will arrive too little and too late and too scatter shot. Federal dollars will often deliver the wrong incentives. Unemployment benefits are excessive for many workers and will encourage many low wage workers to avoid moving to new opportunities. Many self-employed will encounter huge income losses and receive little help. Whole sections of the economy will receive little aid while the airline industry will paper over its irresponsible behavior with taxpayer money.

The Stimulus Package was the product of the usual partisan gamesmanship with each side trying to obtain long-term goals instead joining hand to addressing the immediate crisis. The vanity of negotiators created a ensemble of Neros, and the economy and hopes and dreams of the American people will burn.
Republicans and Democrats-and lobbyists representing all sides-hung ornaments that sparkle and glimmer to the selfish recesses of their souls, and now they can watch their Christmas tree of vanity, pride and greed go aflame.

.....................................Yep! And most economists predicted that a Trump presidency would be a disaster for the economy........THEY WERE WRONG!........Most economists who hail themselves from major universities are quite liberal and therefore their opinions should be taken with a grain of salt.......And most liberal economists under-estimate the private sector and generally PREFER the demCRAP playbook of bigger and more controlling govt........

You mean the unhealthy and unstable wealth gap will shrink?

Those who believe all the financial experts and media pundits are the same ones that believed Trump would never win. They were never around when things were really tough.Most are young snot nose kids who are spouting whatever they heard in their liberal universities

This may make me sound like a Pollyanna, but I predict that when this ends and restrictions are lifted, we'll not only roar right back, but rebound to an even larger and stronger economy.

Hey, Dumbass...

Why don't you do something about that yourself?


What other country in the world do you have as much opportunity to thrive and enrich yourself on the fruits of your own labor?


Oh. That's right.. I added the "L" word.

That messes your entitled commies up every single time.

Why don't you move to Venezuela? Eat your own dog for supper.

Brother, I see your point, and others who are calling for opening up our economy by getting back to work.

I haste a guess that this pandemic will provide no real course of future direction by economists and medical docs once COVID runs It’s victory lap and gets catalogued as another disease/virus needing a cure like SARS.

I believe this virus will linger amongst us for quite a while, picking off both young and old over the next however many months.

Learning anything from this pandemic will likely show drawing battle lines in the future during another outbreak is human nature between industry and healthcare. Who’s right? Both, one could argue.

All I know is currently, I’d prefer to catch this disease a little later, after docs have figured out how to turn on my ventilator and introduce some meds that are proven to increase my chances of surviving.

This coming from a guy who’s spent a small fortune on custom rifles and would very much like to enjoy using them before I’m taken off this rock.

Your inability to carry on a conversation can be overlooked.
Your attempt to hide that fact brings you laughable attention.
Life as a happy fool.

You're delusional. Most economists predicted no such thing.

And Dr. Morici is decidedly consdrvative.

Beavers are immune to the "covid" your worries are unfounded....




In the past we have seemed to find a balance of economy/panic during pandemics and made it out the other side pretty much intact, except for the unfortunate victims. Life is dangerous....

Why is this time different ? that is the question... and for me the answer is obvious....

And my ornery streak refuses to let me join the hysteria and become an agent of panic and help those with the agenda....

I understand the "curve" and getting a vaccine, cure, treatment, etc... before our resources are overwhelmed and most Americans understand that also, for the most part the people have cooperated.

When this turns out to be a nothing burger the blow back will be epic..... if too much irreparable damage isn't done and the people do not become the sheeple "they" are hoping for.

I may be escorted to the re-education camp before it's all over.....

Fear not....If you are sent to a camp. Flave, myself, Digital Dan and Gunner500 will rescue you. Hopefully before you’ve been abused in a bad way....Keep the faith brother....We are coming for you. 😬😎
