Everyone's an expert on global pandemics, macro global economics, statistics, and death rates.... until a man asks a simple question. Might as well of asked what the meaning of life is. Mangler that should answer your question about the ability of critical thinking. They knew exactly what you was asking and simply weren't capable of an answer. Go ahead and tell him what is gonna happen if y'all are wrong!
Everyone is a virologist today. Except no one is. You need data, which we don't have, so we have to rely on historical context and science, things which few have, including anyone in Washington DC or state capitols.
If you had those two pieces, this isn't mysterious or scary, it's clear what's happening.

If I'm wrong about reopening the economy I might wind up knowing someone that dies from the virus. I hope that doesn't happen. It hasn't to this point. If I'm right and we overreacted in shutting most of the economy down the same thing is going to happen that's already happened. I know, and am going to know, a whole lot of people who lose careers, businesses , savings and retirements. That will result in stress, suicides and depression for millions.

We're definitely gonna have to re open the economy. I just think if we hadn't of closed it, it would have been worse. Folks have been blessed recently with a great economy, but if you look at how many jobs were lost and businesses closed last year, it doesn't reflect how good things were going. The market is always changing, and true business men adjust to it. It ain't like in 6 months folks are gonna stop spending or making money. I know guys who have had 4-5 businesses, they get out before the bottom falls out and seem to get into the new hotness on the ground floor, and ride it till the wheels fall off. Got to diversify your funds. Damn near my whole life has been stressful and depressing, I just thought that was a normal part of life.
Knew that was coming. As soon as I hit post. My bad
Welcome to trumps world...i see both sides and I think we need to open up last week but it's a lose lose situation in an election year when the future depends on the future of America...didnt read after your post so I'm sorry if i quoted someone

On the subject of opening up the economy, im pretty sure theres enough people going to lowes, walmart, and all the eating places to be increasing the spread of this thing pretty good but its not happening. We all have been to or have come in contact with people who are regularly going to those places. Do yall think those rubber gloves the drivethrough cashiers are wearing are for your protection? Think that through just a second. Your money just got handled by the same glove as 235 other peoples money as well as covid jhonnys money did 15min ago right after he coughed and covered his mouth with the hand he handed the casier his money with. The spread was never stopped.
I am amazed how quickly people are to fall in line and destroy people's lives by shutting down their business. More people will die from suicide, depression, drug use than have been killed by this virus.
"What if you are wrong" and all of these Jews are evil? How do you convince an entire nation that this is okay? Seems insanely difficult, but look where we are today with a few "experts" lying to us.

Supposedly it is because transmission by hand is minimal compared to aerosols. The Dr said there is so much they don’t know and are learning about this virus as they go. Another reason information keeps changing.

Everything here are just opinions, I treat them as such. What is funny to me is the ones who think their opinions are facts. Roll out a bunch of graphs and charts pulled from the world wide Intranet, and declare their rightness. Very funny.
I’m amazed by how many people suddenly became infectious disease experts overnight a few weeks ago. They are even more intelligent using information available today to know with certainty the decisions they would have made weeks ago

Graphs and charts are REAL data. From this you can make educated guesses which are definitely not opinions. I missed the “peak” of new daily cases by 4 days based on that data. That’s not an opinion, it’s a fact.

The objective wasn't to stop it, only to slow it. They had 3 choices. Do nothing and hope for the best, with probably the most contagious virus the world has ever seen. That escaped from a level 4 bio lab. Lock everything down all the way until it burns itself out, which would happen if the mortality rate was much higher, or what they did, and try to slow it and get ahead of it. What would you have done in January if it was your call?

It's is your opinion of what they mean, get over it ,you ain't a expert and nobody thinks you are except you.
