The sad thing is that still doesn't excuse Trump's pathetic response to this entire thing, but this is America so it won't matter

Honestly, I do think most other presidents struggle to control this outbreak given the same circumstances, but Trump has basically told states #HYON, while making sure to help a few loyal governors out.:huhldup:

No leadership or unity whatsoever under this administration. It's actually scary to see how Trump continues to undermine the union.

I mean if Trump would pick a stance he’d be okay. Either stay out and let the states handle it or use the federal power to run the show. He just want to show up for accolades and is confusing the situation.

Interested in seeing the actual study once it's released.



The economic benefits of social distancing outweigh the pandemic's hit to U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) while also saving more than a million lives, according to a soon-to-be published study from the University of Wyoming.

"Social distancing policies likely do not constitute an overreaction to COVID-19. In a variety of plausible scenarios based on the best available information as of April 3, 2020, we find that the economic benefits of lives saved outweigh the value of the projected losses of GDP by about $5.2 trillion,” researchers led by economist Linda Thunstrom wrote in an article that's being published by a Cambridge University journal, the Casper Star-Tribune reported Tuesday.

According to the Wyoming newspaper, the analysis used a common epidemiological model to project the spread of the coronavirus and the monetary value the federal government assigns to a person's life — $10 million.

While the analysis acknowledged the fact that social distancing has a considerable effect on GDP, it also found that the economic consequences of not practicing social distancing during the pandemic would be much worse.
