The people who are criticizing the shutdowns and school closures and cancellation of Easter are not doing it because they worship the GDP over people's lives.

They care about their high school junior who can't take the SATs. They care about their middle schooler who is cut off completely from the teaching he/she needs. They care about their elderly parents who are being told they can't go exercise at the community center, or can't see their only friends. I have been told I can't visit my Dad, who is in an elder rehab care center, because of COVID-19 fears.

This is real stuff that is happening to people, and we are being told to accept it because otherwise hospitals and nurses might get overwhelmed. I'm sick of it.

My daughter -- 7 years old -- has been making Easter decorations for two weeks and preparing for the big Easter dinner we normally host, with grandparents and cousins and aunts and uncles. She is actually excited about Easter Mass. She wants to hunt for Easter eggs and have fun with her cousins. It is heartbreaking to tell her this might not happen. The President is absolutely correct to say that this crap needs to end by Easter.

I'm sick of it.

Do you think your daughter will be more heartbroken if some of her relatives die?

Do you realize that when we talk about overwhelmed hospital staff we're talking about patients dying, not just nurses that are a little tired.

You sound like a child.

Yikes. So we can probably expect another 100,000 in 48 hours or so.

Predictions: 600k worldwide tomorrow.

Yes, the administration fumbled the ball starting 1-2 weeks ago instead of 4-6 weeks ago as they should have, but the ramp up started a week or two ago and will continue.

I will believe it when I see it. I take nothing this administration says at face value anymore.

You don't have to believe the admin - the companies themselves are saying this! Roche, Thermo Fisher/Qiagen, Bayer, etc have all come out and said this. They are ramping up and will be delivering in the milions in the next 1-2 weeks.
