Another liberal model. Well, according to my model every American Will die before they reach 110 years of age. We must shelter in place until science can find a way to stop time and reverse entropy.

I just saw this quite shocking 5-point article from The Hill, from April 22:

The data is in — stop the panic and end the total isolation

Literally no spike in deaths is going to happen because people get their freedom back.
They're fearmongering at this point. They know the virus is going to be lurking out there somewhere and since our immune systems have been weakened a bit by being forced to #StayAtHome and out of the general public, it's likely some people who have been totally removed from this thing might get it, but the vast majority will have little to no symptoms and be just fine. Meanwhile they are stuck at home, many unemployed, worried and depressed over the very real possibility of losing everything simply because it's illegal to go to work or open your business.

I'm sorry, but YES the economy is worth more than 233k hypothetical deaths. Sorry, it just is. It is the MOST important thing right now.

There is no “choosing the economy over lives”

The economy sustains lives. One can’t exist without the other. People can exist with no economy but they cannot live. I’d rather not exist if it means I can’t live.

Exactly--see the 2 stories below, the first one being from today. The establishment media's whole goal is to get NON-political people to hate Trump; sports fans are often not political (see how sports-team subreddits have traditionally banned political posts as being off-topic and causing too much in-fighting), but now, after hearing the media's refrain that "This is all Trump's fault!," the hope is that enough of those fans will BECOME political and vow to vote Democrat.

And then see these photos and videos from across the country, from 4 WEEKS ago:

Feels like that’ll backfire. The Dem governors are the ones extending lockdowns to absurd lengths. The Dems are the ones that people are protesting against. Red state governors are all making plans to open, if they haven’t already. Florida just started phase 1 today. Georgia’s been open for a week

See this too:

Democratic governors are reopening their states:

Minnesota

Colorado

Montana

Reopening the economy is a bipartisan issue, the mainstream media just refuses to tell the American people that!

Many Demon states will take another 2 months from today to actually "reopen". It's going to be disastrous. Preparing for the impending storm is all I can do.

WE JUST CAN'T STOP WINNING, FOLKS! THE TRUMP TRAIN JUST GOT 10 BILLION MPH FASTER!

CURRENT SPEED: 361,579,385,117,000 MPH!

At that rate, it would take approximately 4.641 years to travel to the Andromeda Galaxy (2.5 million light-years)!
