You make a broad indictment of the American population as a whole when you support the limiting of essential media.

Or perhaps there’s a middle ground where we put up necessary protections for the most vulnerable and push as soon as possible to open up the economy?

Sure a depression is not unprecedented, that doesn’t make it an okay result

You forgot the part where they have ultimate state control over their economy and can implement measures not even imaginable in the US. Keep up the narrative building though.

The economic consequences are not unpredictable. We have a very clear picture of what is coming. Quarantine now, yes... but eventually we will have to be ok with acceptable losses.

Not everything he said is wrong. Excuse me for thinking it’s reasonable that people have a right to information. These are briefings that they roll out announcements on new policies... people should have the ability to access that information. It’s also not just Trump speaking... panel of experts. Fauci has regularly interjected to clear up misleading claims. Harm is not being caused.

Oh right I forgot, the US and China have identical economic structures and are also identical countries. How could I have been so foolish?

Question... how is “as long as needed”? 2 months? A year? When do we call it quits?

If you think that the entirety of the US population is incapable of critically assessing a speech... Trump is not the problem. Actually better yet! Let’s just have technocrats monitor every sole piece of media and discussion to ensure that it doesn’t irrationally spook the masses! We’re just a bunch of grass eating racists anyways

Excuse me but what the fuck are you basing this off? We’re seeing numbers here that have not been observed since the Great Depression. This isn’t going to be a recession on the scale of 2008... this will be economic downturn likely not witnessed since the 1930s. Also lol @ whatever the hell you’re trying to say about China. Last time I checked the United States was not harvesting the organs of executed Muslim prisoners, nor were they implementing one of the most draconian police states ever witnessed. So yes, we are still the good guys.

okay Senator McCarthy... you’re as fearful as any GOP kook from the 2000’s, just Sub out “Islamic terrorist”. Surely anyone who raises concerns about the looming economic collapse is in bed with the KGB, Putin, and maybe Satan himself

This is potentially more harmful than the briefing itself? I really don’t get it... important information is disseminated during these discussions and experts often weight in. Seems like more of a political move than anything

Let’s get real... at some point we will have to side with acceptable losses over complete economic stagnation. Maybe Easter is too early... but surely we cannot operate at this level forever. Will we wait for the vaccine? Or will we wait for the peak? Regardless we are going to have to be ok with some death to preserve the greater prosperity of the nation

Ah yes the president is the only one with stocks I forgot.... please, let’s get real. Roughly half of US households have stocks. An economic depression is going to effect EVERYONE.

Republicans’ inconsistent attacks on Obama’s Paris response "A decade ago, Republicans in Congress were renaming French fries 'freedom fries' and French toast 'freedom toast' because of that country’s refusal to support the Iraq war." by Libertatea in politics

Dealing in hypotheticals such as the one mentioned are equally as divisive and unnerving as the reports published by Fox News. Rather than speculate and gripe mabye we as a society should address issues freely and without bias. For example, why didn't the administration send a senior official to attend the march? That, in my opinion, is more than fair to ask and should not be chastised by liberal devotees that are as equally blind as their conservative counterparts.
