That's a valid concern, as is calling the "all clear" too soon. But we can't stay hunkered down forever.

That's what Trump is referring to the cure being worse than the disease.

Let's hope he makes the right call when the time comes to do so.

Wow! That's a big IF. Chill! My father made it through D Day as a member of the 29th Division. Go buy some Hershey Bars! They helped carry him through Normandy.

Everything hinges on preventing the virus from exploding. There is not a choice between the economy and preventing the virus from devastating the health of Americans. How do you think our quality of life will be with huge numbers of sick and dying. Will the infected be going to work. It is a false dichotomy.

Tongue in cheek!

Clearly there was some unreasonable panic in the statement. The sooner the country fights the war of the virus, the economy will spike. Everyone will be ready and anxious to get their lives back to normal. This economic downturn is not due to a poor economy, our country had good economic bones before we went into this. We will come out on the other side stronger for it.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. We are the HOME OF THE BRAVE.
