If Trump opens up the country prematurely,

[MineralMan]

which he seems intent on doing, it's going to be up to us, as individuals, to do whatever we can to avoid this disease. As far as possible, continue social distancing, and avoid being anywhere there are lots of people, as much as you possibly can. Wear a mask. Shop at times when the places you go have the fewest people, and try not to go often.

At work, if you must return, warn people to keep their distance from you. Sanitize everything in sight.

As far as possible, try to follow the same rules you are following now to protect yourself. It won't be that long before effective treatments for COVID-19 are identified, and there will eventually be a vaccine.

Protect yourself, because you'll be the only one who can protect you.

1. Both New York and Michigan up biggly today.

Total deaths are gonna be up for US. Any argument for reopening is just going to be pure bullshit.

3. The "50,000 to 60,000" numbers Trump mentioned yesterday

will be reached within two weeks. It's going to get much worse after that, if Trump actually forces states to open back up, and I think he's going to do just that.

4. He'll just keep moving the goalposts.

"If I keep it under 60,000 I'm doing a great job!

If I keep it under 100,000 I'm doing a great job!

If I keep it under 150,000 I'm doing a great job!

If I keep it under 200,000 I'm doing a great job!

If I keep it under 2,000,000 I'm doing a great job!"

And the sad thing is the press by and large will just let him get away with it because they are terrible at their job.

5. I think we're going to see 50K by Friday morning and 60K no later than Monday.

7. Very possibly.

2. K&R!!!!!

6. If what we have seen from

Badger land and the Primary day voters whom are becoming ill as a result of being forced to vote in person,if this 7 number explodes,all of the Rethugs will pay a price that will last for fifty years.

The Orange anus could give a rats ass about you or I,it is all about his Image and his wealth accumulation. That was his game plan from the get go.

8. It's like they want more people to die

And the longer this goes on, the more I think a high body count is the point.

[Igel]

9. He may want to.

But he can't and won't.

10. I am prepared for long-term staying home

I mean, I'll have to go out for groceries, doctor appointments, car repairs, etc. but in as much as possible I will be staying home, maybe for a long time. Who knows what the situation might look like in a month or 6 months or a year? I am holding on to the hope that a vaccine is developed fairly soon.

11. I agree with Beto on the real reason for opening up early
