I don't understand the current national Democratic political effort. In a time when Trump should be getting eviscerated for how he's handled this crisis, the Dems consistently find ways to fumble the ball right back to him. Whether it's Pelosi blocking funding for the payroll thing (and whether they are blocking it or not doesn't really matter, that's the perception out there, and even CNN of all places are saying the Dems are blocking it) or if it's Biden looking feebler and feebler with every living room podcast, the Dems are seemingly doing everything they can to keep Trump in power come the fall. We didn't think they could possibly cough up the election to him in 2016 and now they seem to be trying to one-up that impossibility with an even bigger one in 2020. It's times like these that you really realize that both parties are particularly bereft of quality, national leadership at this time. When the lineup is Trump, Pence, Pelosi, Schumer, and Biden you realize that no one has really stepped up as of yet.

There will be a time where we can grade the different segments of the government, but it's too early now.
But I'm curious as to what your criticisms of Trump are with regard to the crisis, at this point.

Texas becomes 1st state to loosen restrictions.
Starting April 24, retailers who previously were considered nonessential may begin providing pickup service or home delivery for customers;

Starting Wednesday, in a bow to doctors and hospitals, restrictions on elective procedures and surgeries will be loosened. He cited biopsies for cancer as one example.

On Monday, state parks will again open their gates, though visitors will have to wear masks or face coverings and keep at least six feet away from other visitors who aren’t members of their families.
https://www.dallasnews.com/news/public- ... trictions/

26 states with conk govs/24 with donk. Of the 5 states with no type of lockdowns, all 5 have conk govs.
https://www.wsj.com/articles/a-state-by ... 1584749351

I'm betting the conk states will on avg, will both begin to reopen 1st, and be reopened before the donk states.

The bigger question is can these states that open up sooner swoop in on any jobs from neighboring states that stay locked down. If I'm Nevada, I open asap and swoop on jobs from the CA-WA-OR contingent.

Posting the ABCNews link here, although it's reported in many sites by now. Based on sampling in one county in California, where at the time there were 1,000 reported cases, testing shows that there are anywhere from 48,000 to 81,000 who likely already had the virus. So somewhere between a 50-fold and 81-fold increase in actual cases could be likely.

https://abcnews.go.com/Health/antibody- ... e_hero_hed
"There has been wide recognition that we were undercounting infections because of lack of testing or patients were asymptomatic," Brownstein said.
If you extrapolate that out to the entire US, where according to JHU there are 686,991 cases right now, that would mean that the actual number of cases could very well be 55 Million people right now, or about 16% of the population. And with the current death tally of 32,232, that would be a mortality rate of 0.05%.

That's good news regarding the spread of herd immunity. Also shows that the Chinese Flu isn't going to kill nearly as many people as projected. Time to open everything back up.

Let's hope this has legs. We'd have herd immunity before we know it.
