Yet the U.S. had ample time to see what was coming, as China writhed under the pandemic in January and then Europe began suffering just weeks later. Critics have charged the U.S. with squandering precious time that could have been spent building testing capacity or stockpiling medical supplies that are now hard to find. By Feb. 26, Italy was locking down whole towns and regions beset by the virus.


That day, President Donald Trump said at a White House press briefing that the U.S. had the situation “so well under control.” There were only 15 cases of coronavirus across the country, he said, and “we’re going very substantially down, not up.”

We can't go back to normal too soon, but we're going back to normal much quicker than the most dire predictions from the left. Something I've said from day 1 and continue to believe

Withing the last few days, the left was citing some medical expert that said we need to close down the economy for 18 months. No joke

I was looking at a graph yesterday and i'm thinking we'll be allowed out after 4th of July. I think we'll be ok in mid to late June but if we gave a June 15 deadline, then EVERYONE will be out on July 4 weekend and things could regress. I cant see 18 months. We need to be STRONG by the fall. Especially in an election year.

I think how pissed off many were in 2008 when they recevied their q3 financial statements and saw how much money they lost. Seems like that was a way to vote a different party in the white house. If we suck on October 1st, we actually will have a LEGIT shot of electing my boy, Sleepy Joe!! (i'm 100% for real and not stirring the pot here)

Very good point about 4th of July.

Ive said July since the very very start. We’ll see. Mid July sounds right.

Stay at home orders, school closures, social distancing greatly reduces this thing.


And what are we doing?


Sometimes you need to see if you make sense before you hit submit. The position you guys have taken doesnt put you in a position now to really talk.

Why can’t we go back to normal tomorrow? Once you answer that, you’ll get your answer as what the right opinion on this was.

The people that said this was a big deal were obviously right, it shut the country down for atleast 1.5 months (likely more) with major social and economic impact that we can’t even begin to handicap yet.

What a few gleeful trolls say doesnt change all that and it’s just cherry picking.

Every prediction you made or believed or sold was categorically incorrect. Don't come in here and try to move the goalposts now. This discussion is about predictions and results, and mocking all the drama your ilk was selling

We're correct, you're NOT

What happens going forward is TBD, I'll just let time do it's thing. What you're doing now to attacking policies that haven't been announced. What you're doing now is attacking people for daring to disagree with your insight. Since your side has been so incorrect about these matters to date, maybe you should proceed with a little more humility. Seriously
This all started over a month ago when your friends enflameo and red eye said..."this is just the flu"..."it will blow over in a week and we will be back to work"...We disagreed and said no this is serious and more restrictions are coming.

We were right and you guys were wrong...PERIOD.

That has been the argument from the start...WE were proved right with all the stay at home orders, restrictions, etc...you guys were WRONG.

Now you want to move the goal post and move the argument to this specific # or that specific #...you guys were WRONG...and are incapable of admitting it...It's genetics.

It is the same ole same ole with you guys...you are ALWAYS right and anyone who dares to disagree is wrong...

It is the same as calling the kettle black and you guys are the black kettle as well...you do not see it because you are incapable.

The 18 months is insanely stupid........this virus will be contained by June/July. The president will decide when to open up the economy, but Incan see social distancing in August & Sept by the public because they're scared of cathing the virus, yet the flu kills as many if not way more every year & the public doesn't bat an eye for the fly because they've never been thru what they're going thru now.

By Oct people should be going back to normal.

I agree with what you said. The next question is, how many people can "hold out" until October?

Thats the tough part

Not even close to the ass kicking you took from PatsFan a few days ago...you know when you gave up the fight and disappeared for a few days.

No one has your back here enflameo...no one responds to your post besides people bitch slapping you and putting you in your place...Calling out all your lies...

You are a nobody here ammo bitch...just like when you "served" and turned tail and ran like a bitch...you do the same thing here.

We have to focus on protecting those that are most vulnerable, and allow those that are least vulnerable to return to work. Is there risk still? Of course there is. Just as there are risks associated with everything else that kills us, and I'm sorry, but that's a fair analogy.

Shutting down our economy for an extended period of time will do more harm to society than COVID-19, I believe that too.

We'll develop treatments and we'll move forward.

Saying "this is a big deal" is a straw-man, I never said it wasn't, what I correctly predicted was that all the worse numbers being thrown out there won't be remotely accurate.

How can I make such a prediction? Because we've been down this path multiple times in the last 35 years, and the dire predictions have never come to fruition. From AIDES, to global warming, to MERS to SERS to the Swine Flu. Each and every time the doom and gloom alarmists have been wrong, without one exception.

Nice try, wrong again

Except for that genetics part of course

Why would anyone around here think I can't answer any question? I can support my position 100% of the time, you can't

The numbers speak for themselves

What do you have against winning? seriously?

We're prevailing, you should be rejoicing

Oh really?

Your friends said "this is only the flu"..."it will blow over in a week"...I said they were wrong, more restrictions would be coming...Who was right willie?

Pretty simple...

I will give you this, you would make an excellent captain of a ship...No doubt you would dutifully go down with it.

We actually talk to these posters as if they are intellectually capable of having a conversation that will move the ball down the field. At the end of the day, there are 3-4 guys here that are just not that bright. We talk to them like they have some sense which is our big mistake. They just aren't that smart.

I'm sorry my friend, but I don't try to reach the Mango's of this world

I use them for laughter and to appreciate everything I am and everything I'm not.

Trying to reason with them is like arguing with a brick wall, I don't do that.

Willie- you were one of those complaining about shutting down. Now you’re touting the numbers with the shutdown. That makes no fucking sense. You want it both ways. Shit is comical. Stop doing that.
