If Trumps opening up goes badly, and leads to a widespread spreading of Covid he'll pay a huge price at the ballot box, it's a high stakes game.

Nope, he will blame someone else if it goes badly and praise himself if it doesn’t. Either way his supporters will believe him whatever he says.

And they'll receive less cooperation and more secrecy if they followed your method. It's basic diplomacy.

China wasn't even counting asymptomatic people.
WHO asked them to include, they did, next day they stopped.
There could be millions infected in Wuhan alone but we will never know

Has any other developed nation buried it's citizens in mass graves during this crisis?

Yes, Iran, but developed is questionable.

I'm thankful Leo doesn't talk or speak like this or address the nation with such foul. All trump wants to do is open the economy and get the place booming. Economy, economy, economy is all he's about.

I see the importance of a functioning economy but still there's so much uncertainty about health and mortality, and troubles ahead.

It's to stop the stock market from falling off a cliff. It's all spin

On April 30th or so he'll say that this "had to be re-assessed and we are now looking at June 1st and are confident we can do this"

Politics is theatre by a different name. American politics is, for want of a better word, king of it

Leo has his script writers to quote Heaney.

I keep reading here to watch the ICU numbers, and how many ventilators we have available,
Trump provides more ICU beds per capita and says he will help other countries with this and he's the devil incarnate.
I keep reading about scaremongering surrounding reopening dates, we need to be positive about the economy and support our business
Trump is positive about the bounce back, about business..he's the devil incarnate.
I'm reading about China and WHO...Trump calls them out...he's EVIL!!

Everybody has a tipping point.

Nixon had widespread support right up until he didn’t.

Some diehard supporters will remain with Trump until the end, but it’s hard to see how moderate Republicans and even traditional Conservatives will continue supporting him as their communities are ravaged.

https://www.irishtimes.com/news/social-affairs/coronavirus-dublin-accommodation-sourced-for-homeless-people-1.4212875

More than 650 apartments, hotel rooms and single-occupancy rooms have been sourced across Dublin for homeless people, and all emergency accommodation will stay open 24 hours a day during the coronavirus outbreak.

That's great. But they are getting paid by the government for the use of the hotels and apartments I presume? Hotels here would have to open the rooms to use for free, which just isn't going to happen

Hardly WHOs fault is it. But Trump said they did a great job, and you said Trump is right on this.

Leo just rings the Chinese PM to thank him for the stuff we paid for and 10% of it unsuitable for what it was bought for.
