[quote=Anonymous]With a normal, adult, responsible President, we could have a national conversation about the health-economy trade offs and difficult, but rational, decisions would be made.

But Trump has repeatedly ignored the advice of scientists and doctors. In turn, they have dug in their heels in protecting the health of citizens. They don't feel heard by the administration. Their expertise is not being incorporated into national policy decisions. And capitalists have reacted by digging in their heels and insisting we reopen the economy at full steam.

This is a situation unique to Trump. Any other President would try to balance public health and economic effects, using expertise from scientists and economists. But Trump never brings people together and he never listens to experts. So now we have a war between the economy and public health. And when the economy and public health are at war, ordinary citizens lose.

Our only hope is that states mostly override the B.S. he is saying and make actual balanced decisions that best meet the needs of their localities.
