I'm seeing a lot of discussion but can't figure out who has the majority.
To re-open the US economy in a limited fashion around Easter Monday (4/13/20) with masks, social distancing, no sports venues, no cruises, or major crowds, just minimal re-opening businesses. The object is to keep as many companies in-business as possible.
Trump wants to reopen US businesses in weeks 'not months' even as deaths rise – as it happened
Democrats voted to oppose motion on the coronavirus stimulus bill, while Dr Anthony Fauci and others warn against scaling back social distancingwww.theguardian.com
Or, keep the economy and businesses shutdown until the coronavirus (COVID-19) is under control as recommended by the doctors, even if that means that many businesses would NOT re-open due to the lost revenue and bankruptcy.
Well the problem is many businesses are laying off workers and if we continue to shutdown more will layoff. The government is helping somewhat... but honestly it is hardly any help to the American worker. What does the American worker do who now has health insurance to cover himself and family should they get infected with COVID-19... but won't have that health insurance to cover himself and family should he get fired from his job and lose his healthcare? It is almost like he is better off getting infected before he gets laid off that way health insurance can pay the bill.
What the president needs to do is have an open enrollment period now for ObamaCare and the Marketplace while tons of people are losing their jobs.
How would that help if people don't have the money for any of their plans? Did you ever deal with Commie Care? I have. Terrible plans that don't cover anything at an unaffordable price. It was a failure when it was passed, and it's a failure today.
