Message: [QUOTE="cohenzone, post: 3549756, member: 504"] The point is, there is no clear cut easy. answer. The president is properly concerned about the economy. One gets the idea, though, that his concern about the economy relative to the politically inconvenient advice of pandemic medical and science experts , is to try and wish the virus away like some annoying fly and shoot the messengers so they aren’t around to annoy him anymore. One suspects that re-election is the gentleman’s motivation. If the medical experts are close to being right, we are damned if we do or don’t no matter what we do. Until we know that this virus can be controlled and/or that herd immunity occurs, we won’t know if a rush to reopen is a good or bad move long term for the economy. I know we have millions of people who think they are immune to the virus to the extent that wearing a mask or distancing is an incredible violation of their rights. That attitude seems to make controlling this sucker harder than maybe it should be. I’m pretty sure the medical experts are under a lot of pressure to help the politicians, but not at the expense of providing the best medical advice they can. All I’m sure of is that contagion experts know contagion way better than any politician or former real estate developer. [/QUOTE]
