Trump had three choices for coronavirus lockdowns. Bad, Worse, Catastrophic [View all]

[Renew Deal]

Bad: Stringent lockdown for three months. Economy suffers for a few months, but lives are saved.
Worse: No lockdown. Economy suffers from disruptions, but >1 million die.
Catastrophic: Quit on lockdown early: Economy suffers indefinitely because coronavirus never goes away. Hundreds of thousands die.

Guess which one he picked? Catastrophic is the answer. In an attempt to pretend that the virus is a "hoax" and the economy is fine, BOTH SUFFER.

Trump quit on the lockdown early, because he is weak. He wasn't willing to do the hard things that would have ended this nightmare sooner. Now it never ends and every aspect of life suffers.
