So America's POTUS has declared that the US has passed it's peak, but yet the numbers have went back up again.
Seriously does this guy even understand what the numbers represent.
He is so desperate to open up businesses again that he is willing to gamble, yet again, on American lives being ruined when this shit spreads even quicker.
The guy is a right and utter fuckwit. Why do you guys like him?

i like how your blaming the president on the fact americans are stupid and refuse to stay home while they are sick
this is the entire problem with coronavirus,its proven how dumb americans are
also,your assuming the numbers are even accurate.the feds are probably faking it like they did with the unemployment rate
not that i care,i think the country should of reopened a long time ago.we can manage this if you quarantined people right,but the us goverment has fucked it up since the beginning and thats why they led the world in cases
Politics is naturally polarizing. I imagine that if a magic book, interpreted by a magic robed child toucher, tells me that God is important and abortion is a gateway to hell, and I believed that, I would be Republican too.
what i dont get about bible thumping republicans is
they'll shut down the church's in their states.yet preach about conservative values,if you were really the christfags you talk about.you would allow people to go to church
Every choice is a gamble, a gamble on whether shutting down will save enough lives to justify the cost, a gamble on whether or not opening back up will stop the economic decline without costing too many lives.
There is no doubt he will be judged as though he were psychic and knew in advance the results of his gambles. How do we know this? Because he has hardly even made the choices and he's being judged as if you, who have nothing to lose, have the psychic ability you expect of him.
If you depress the economy enough you'll just get overdoses and suicides instead.
In the UK, politically the divide between left and right is statistically skewed between young and old. Older voters are more likely to vote for conservative/right wing policies and younger more likely to vote for more socially minded/left wing policies.
As a result of this virus having a significantly worse effect on older people, the older people are actively encouraging this lockdown. Younger people, being more socially aware and wanting to protect older people are also very much in favour of lockdown. As a result, most of the country (93% at a recent count) are very happy with a lockdown.
The UK peaked with about 2,000,000 cases (ref: covid.joinzoe.com
In the US, however, the political divide is a) more location based, and b) built on a constitution that promises freedom. Therefore it is much harder for a consensus to form I would imagine, and one reason that so many feel disaffected and want to protest
FYI the decision to close churches is not absolute with some churches still operating and others doing things like drive-in or online services.
The most draconian shutdowns of churches have been ordered in Democrat states by Democrat governors.
yeah,either way.i care more about the liquor stores in my area being closed
