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 do it because THEY CARE ABOUT PEOPLE'S LIVES. They care about their high school senior who won't have graduation or prom. They care about their second grader who won't have First Communion. 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.

Oh mylanta. This is classic DCUM delusion at its finest. "oh no! How will I ever tell my 7 year old that her precious easter day with her cousins won't happen?! - she'll be heartbroken!" GMAFB.

Out of one side of your mouth, you cite how we should all care about others during this ordeal and we should keep perspective about that. Out of the other side of your mouth you talk about a 7 year old being sad that her easter egg hunt will be cancelled. Your inability/inconsistency in grasping perspective is pretty impressive. Well done.

That’s odd. Pence promised them weeks ago.

Please take this to politics. Also, you should be looking to your state's governors and complaining to them. We live in a Republic. The feds aren't supposed to supply everything. Call your governor or state representative

This is a national emergency, exactly the sort of situation that the federal government should be leading to properly allocate resources.

Is it time to disband the US?

And the states are supposed to be running their own state because the governor is closer to the constituent base, and understands better what the needs are than does the federal government. Each state should have prepared. Other than Cuomo where are the governors? And even Cuomo is blaming the federal government. Cuomo wants ventilators. NY could have bought them and prepared years ago but did not. Trump is right to say "stop looking to me - order your own ventilators". Other states will need them too. Each state should have prepared better for emergency preparedness. Nothing in the constitution says the federal government should be doing anything in this situation. "All other powers reserved to the states . . . " it says in the U.S. Constitution.
