Remember it was not yet time 1 week ago to declare mandatory closures as cases were not significant and thousands of US citizens just returned fleeing the contagions overseas to beat the travel restrictions and possible quarantine. Federal Preparations had to be installed at international airports to make it as orderly as possible to deal with the mass influx. Last weekend was the ideal time to declare a 2 week social distancing policy with state/local actions to shutdown various places that people gather in close contact. Accurate test have been manufactured that’s been in process for a month or more. Private industry is working in tandem with government mandates. As far as I’m concerned it was a pretty well thought out attempt at the right time in the states to flatten out a possible peak contagion curve. And now that the US has more control of the southern border the possible but likely mass exodus from an out of control contagion in Mexico and other Latin American states can be managed since the US is more prepared to help. The press makes it seem there’s mass confusion. The Trump administration and expert professionals on the teams that were set up multiple weeks ago have been doing their things the press didn’t care to report. In reality they are doing a pretty good job. I predict when all is said and done it will give additional boost the re-election of the Trump/Pence ticket.

Thanks Macster, that was well said. Mobs can be very dangerous, blinded by their anger. And many times, after it’s all over, they have trouble even remembering what they were angry about.

this is an important link... title: 'When a danger is growing exponentially, everything looks fine until it doesn’t'
key word is exponentially... unfortunately, trump apologists are not versed in numbers.... or ignore them willingly
you have all manner of scientists and mathematicians and engineers (from Fauci to Taleb) ringing fire alarm for many days now.... in the media and on twitter.... it all falls on deaf ears, people still compare current # of cases (outdated statistic because of lack of test kits) to seasonal flu, diabetes, car accidents and all manner of other irrelevant stats
GLTA and stay safe
Imagine If the Dems were in charge.
