[quote:Anonymous Coward 78677105:MV80MzIxMjAzXzc4Njc3NTkxXzI0NkEyQjI4] Shutting everything down reveals the true state of health of a population. Americans are s sickly, diseased population - like many others. The ONLY way a viable population can be salvaged is to keep it shut down and given the population a chance to heal - even as large swaths drop over dead. A recurring sickness with seasonal fluctuations is not going to be more benign in an unhealthy population - certainly not this kind of sickness which is, essentially, a more virulent form of the flu - itself becoming increasingly deadly for many. Simply putting everyone back to work will make matters far worse and will do nothing to address the health of the American people - unless the goal is simply to maximum kill them, which will be Trump's lasting legacy if he drives the beasts back to toiling away in their present state.

I know Trump's Tweets are discussed elsewhere but the headline needs it's own thread.

President Trump, under growing pressure to rescue an economy in free fall, said Monday that he may soon loosen federal guidelines for social distancing and encourage shuttered businesses to reopen — defying public health experts, who have warned that doing so risks accelerating the spread of the novel coronavirus or even allowing it to rebound.
“America will again and soon be open for business — very soon,” Trump said at the daily White House news conference. “We cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself.”
As he watches stock prices plummet and braces for an expected surge in unemployment, Trump has received urgent pleas from rattled business leaders, Republican lawmakers and conservative economists imploring him to remove some of the stringent social distancing guidelines that he put in place for a 15-day period ending March 30, according to several people with knowledge of the internal deliberations.
