When, about two weeks from now, when the death numbers start rolling in, people are not going to need the government to shut them down and keep them at home. The economy will follow. The sad thing is it didn't have to be this way.

It is rightly said that a nation gets the government it deserves, this is what we deserve for putting a clown in the Oval Office and leaving a Fascist majority in the Senate.
