    Might want to check your first sentence. Doesn't seem to go with the second one.

    "I like" is supposed to be "unlike." I'm guessing he hit space instead of the "n," and autocorrect assumed "u like" was supposed to be "I like."

    *unlike. Autocorrect.

    And as others have said, until we can test and isolate, tests that Trump ignored increasing our capacity for for months, we will fly blind in a canyon.

    You weren't asking me, but I'd say we have a team of experts on infectious diseases to make that call, not a lawyer.

    He was sufficiently subservient and fulsome enough with his praise of Trump's leadership that he will be asked to return.

    BS they will ride it out and get their old trade pacts back and crush these populist movements in the West. Today Trump made it clear they got away with causing a recession but they won't cause a depression over something not as bad as H1N1 just because you have puppets in the WHO and CDC to do your bidding.

    I was an information provider for 35 years and, in my experience, the experts don't make the decision. They will recommend and provide supporting evidence but as I was told frequently, "we have a number of other factors to consider". The decision makers in this case are the president and maybe the governnors. Hopefully, Trump will give those experts trying to keep the most Americans alive as possible their due.

    Not as bad as H1N1 yet. But the trajectory is worse for covid19 than H1N1. What reasons do you have for believing this won't end up as bad at H1N1?

    Oh trust me, I totally understand. But one would hope that they'd trust the experts. Otherwise, we did all of this for naught.

    Congress is a coequal branch. Trump can't make them do anything. They need to start acting like adults.
