Here is the reality: This shutdown cannot continue or it will destroy this country:
Unemployment in April soared to 14.7%—the highest rate since the government started keeping records in 1948—while employers shed 20.5 million more jobs after losing 870,000 in March. The labor-market bleeding is even worse than those numbers suggest since 6.4 million workers left the workforce.Labor participation had been trending upward the past two years as faster job growth drew millions of low-income Americans from the sidelines. But the participation rate has now fallen 3.2 percentage points to 60.2% since a recent peak in February, the lowest since 1973 before large numbers of women started working.Much of the media continue to treat the economic destruction as a sideshow and present a false choice between saving lives and jobs. But this is the fastest jobs collapse in modern history. The Great Depression drove millions of Americans into poverty and caused many suicides, and there’s a substantial risk this could happen again.Mental-health crisis hotlines are reporting spikes in calls. According to Express Scripts, anti-anxiety prescriptions increased by a third between mid-February and mid-March. Many in despair will probably turn to alcohol or narcotics. CVS executives warned this week that delayed care could lead to a surge of non-coronavirus related health problems. They include cancers undiagnosed and illnesses left untreated.Hospitals have also had to cancel elective procedures, which is how they make most of their money. Stanford Health Care is cutting pay by 20% for its 14,000 workers. The California Medical Association reported that revenues at private practices have declined by two-thirds since March 1, and half have furloughed or laid off staff.Congress has appropriated $175 billion to shore up hospitals, but this won’t help small physician practices much. Many health-care providers warn they may not survive if their privately insured patients lose jobs and sign up for Medicaid
This is about lives vs jobs. People value their lives more.
Its a bad choice either way
but not opening up will be worse
Yeah. People might actually hold Trump accountable. That would be tragic for you guys.

On March 25, Cargill worker Rafael Benjamin was ordered by a supervisor to remove his mask because it was creating unnecessary fears among plant employees. Benjamin was admitted to the ICU and put on a ventilator weeks later. He died on April 19 https://trib.al/mg1R6z3
Such ignorance.
For some people, their jobs ARE their lives. If they lose those jobs, they lose their life.
This virus is weak. With this type logic, no one would ever come out of the house. Its this same logic that libs have applied and sent this country into ruin. They're appalling and despicable.
No, we need to hold the libs, who have perpetrated lie after lie after lie. This lockdown just being the latest. The left hates this country.
Not sure. Today am reading about infections on the president's valet, an aide to Ivanka and multiple on the president's security detail. Looks like the virus is no respecter of Rep vs Dem, trump supporter vs (dreaded) liberals, or even the white house walls. Heck, the military will not even accept corona infected into the service for fear of unleashing a dangerous infection in the close quarters of basic training stations, due to dangers identified. It is not that the (dreaded) left hates this country. They don't. It is just that few trust the president, his motives or his judgement about what is best. Probably why the constitution did not give him the power to enforce his will on the states and citizens.Its a bad choice either way

I used to think that there were moderates among the Democrats, but the sad way that they have defended the perjury trap used on General Flynn demonstrates without doubt that they are Nazis to the core.No, we need to hold the libs, who have perpetrated lie after lie after lie.

This virus kills 6% of the people who contract it. I'm not sure what you'd consider a "Strong" Virus. 20%?

Again, just because the Talking Snake right doesn't understand science, doesn't mean it stops being a thing.

Of course, that's all you could come up with, you bitter old man.Such ignorance.
For some people, their jobs ARE their lives. If they lose those jobs, they lose their life.
If your job is your life, that's pretty pathetic.
Not that you know all that much about having a job, Twinkie.

Of course, that's all you could come up with, you bitter old man.
It's not like you care if people lose their jobs over this, permanently.
You would jump with glee, because it hurts the Orange Man.
No, we don't even have the real numbers that are asymptomatic and infected. The mortality rate is lower. Quarantining healthy people is asinine and totally against science. Now, we're reaping the repercussions of such idiotic group think not based on any past science. Its astounding.

I took a 33% hit on income in April. I know people are hurting.
Yes, people will lose their jobs permanently. That's what happens when you skip over proven leaders and put a deranged game show host in charge of the country.
But we'll get over it. Hopefully, we'll learn our lesson and never do it again. The lesson we SHOULD have learned in 2008, that you don't put an unqualified boob in charge after the people rejected him because he says, "Jesus" somewhat sincerely.
the left merely tolerates America if things are going their wayIt is not that the (dreaded) left hates this country. They don't. It is just that few trust the president, his motives or his judgement about what is best.

Oh I agree its no respecter and doesn't discriminate but leaving our decisions up the state, local, and fed government had led us to great harm. The lefts actions show their disdain and hate for this country. Yes, they do hate the country. They're begging for socialism/communism. It will ultimately destroy them.
Real Republicans only tolerate Don Trump if things are going their way. The reserve their disdain for trump when they lose election and are not setting the agenda.the left merely tolerates America if things are going their wayIt is not that the (dreaded) left hates this country.

they reserve hate for when they lose elections and they are not setting the agenda
Try obtaining a job and then you can evaluate how important it isSuch ignorance.
For some people, their jobs ARE their lives. If they lose those jobs, they lose their life.
