Trump wrote: Now, I don’t think that would have been possible because you would have had people dying all over the place. This would not have been a normal life. How many people have even seen anybody die? You would have seen people dying on airplanes. You would have been seeing people dying in hotel lobbies. You would’ve seen death all over. So I think, from a practical standpoint, that couldn’t have been carried out too far.
The senior US scientist battling the coronavirus pandemic has been given extra security, as he received threats after contradicting President Donald Trump's dubious interpretations and forecasts over the crisis. The US Marshals service has confirmed that Anthony Fauci, the widely-respected expert who is the public face of the US government's response to the virus, was granted special security protection. The 79-year old doctor, the country's foremost expert on infectious disease, has been attacked by conservatives after pushing back against Trump's assertions about the virus. He disagreed publicly with Mr Trump's plan - now dropped - to ease quarantine restrictions by 14 April, and downplayed Mr Trump's promotion of antimalarial drugs hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine as reliable treatment for the virus.Trump supporters have strongly attacked Dr Fauci online, accusing him of being an agent of the "deep state" trying to undermine the president.

According to Trump, he is now number 1 on facebook. Trump has the best words, believe me, so it must be true. Think about it for a moment. Number one on facebook. All this talk of hundreds of thousands getting killed is nothing but a distraction from Trump's status on facebook.

Ah, who am I codding? If you're unaware of the effects population density have on the intensity of contagion, you might not have the answers after all.

If you go back just 4 weeks, the democratic politicians and health officials of New York were urging people to still use the tube, still stick to their normal routine and that everything was under control.

Perhaps Trump should have arrested de Blasio and Pelosi for their actions that most probably contributed highly to the outbreaks in their states (and in NJ coming from NY, but the idiot democrat governor of NJ sat on his laurels and ignored the problem). I’m SUUUURRRREEEE you would have been just dandy with that. My state of Pennsylvania is probably next to get hardest hit. Our own democrat idiot governor issued an order for most businesses to close and a stay at home and shelter inside order for our citizens. But he allowed congested bus services from NY and NJ to continue as usual. Plus if you are a PA citizen driving without a valid life-sustaining reason for being on the road, or have a letter from an employer that you work for an exempt business, you face a $500 fine for each occurrence. But people from NY and NJ can do what they want within our state. You wouldn’t believe how many cars with NY and NJ licenses I see on the road here... Escaping NY & NJ and bringing COVID-19 into the state.

Bushmaster64 wrote: » As has been explained to you, the US system essentially means states are near autonomous. At the beginning of this, even when Italy was clearly suffering, Democrats were running the show in New York and urging business as usual. This is why illegal immigration is illegal according to US law, but Democrat states have created sanctuary cities for illegals. You might recall Democrats criticising Trump for banning Chinese tourists once it was clear there was a major problem in China.
