Hard to start shyt back up if LA and NY won't comply....will he force folk back?

Two months is a long-ass time for a full shutdown. I think 3 weeks is a solid time to reevaluate (starting the count from whenever serious shutdown started for each state). If the hospitals are functional with breathing room and the death rate has dropped significantly at that point, then identify what the most essential shyt is and they those ramp back up - factories and small businesses and other production-centered shyt. Monitor closely for another couple weeks, if there's no big increase then allow the restaurants and such to open back up too but with public behavior rules - advise people cover their faces, keep their distance from each other, no big groups. Another couple weeks and no major issues, you start rescheduling public events like NBA games and shyt.
The nice thing is that you have a TON of data. Each state reacted differently, so you'll have a good idea of how the various policies have affected the spread, how long it takes the curve to drop, as well as what impact the weather is having and all that shyt. It won't be as much a guessing game at that point.
Of course, if the death rate refuses to drop or the hospitals stay overwhelmed then all bets are off.
A couple of months where people aren't earning a living. I'm personally fine, but if these past 10-11 days are any indication, prostitution and crime is about to skyrocket in Los Angeles. These people literally have zero savings. How can you keep them from earning a paycheck for months on end? The state of California is broke. Who is going to help these people?
The bill coming through is giving all single adults who make less than six figures a $1,200 check (less than $200,000 for married couples) and $500 per child too, unemployment insurance is getting boosted by an extra $600/week for four months and is being expanded to include freelancers, gig workers, and people on furlough, and city/state governments are getting an extra $150 billion. There's $367 billion to help small businesses keep up their payroll and a $500 billion loan program for businesses and local governments.
That's quite a bit of dough that should keep shyt generally okay for 3-4 weeks at least.
Be a nikka for a month and all of a sudden they'll be mass suicides?
Yeah, that's a fukking joke. People deal with economic shyt all the time, there wasn't no huge increase in suicides for the 2008 economic collapse.
