Tv was just inadvertently on the View... yes by accident not on purpose, the old cows were really ramped up about the orange one it was quite humorous to watch for 2 minutes.

I watch this when I get the chance. I love watching Joy Behar tapping her pencil on the desk when they talk about Trump and start turning red. Sometimes I go on the shows Facebook page and get all the fans triggered by talking about her. Its hilarious!

I agree with his statement, Thats my concern on a lockdown. How long will it last?
This is a double edged sword, cripple the economy or ......... “let this virus play itself out”
I personally think we can keep people working if everyone just would abide by the recommendations, if not than the Govt will take charge.

I’m thinking in another week or ten days, the tight restrictions on movements and personal interactions will remain in select geographic areas with the greatest rate of infections ( New York, California, Florida, and lower mainland and GTA in Canada ), and travel in and out of those areas will be shut down. Lesser hit areas will be allowed to resume normal activity, with strong recommendations for at risk people to remain isolated.
common sense will gain some traction.

Won't happen. The virus is too widespread at this point, any area with lessened restrictions will just continue to increase in the number of cases until it is locked down.

Unfortunately, the best cure is martial law. everyone goes into 100% lockdown. China got his one right. 1 month of house arrest and now they're getting back to work.
If we continue to waffle about, it will sporadically flare up again and again. We have no immunity, it can easily mutate and start killing all ages.
In Africa, thats how they stop the ebola. Villages just lock themselves down. The virus cant spread. Ugly truth, I wouldn't like it either.
I go buggy on a slow Sunday. Imagine a month or more.

Do you think the USA infection rate and death rate (by percent of population) will be higher or lower than Italy?
