The media tell us it’s Trump’s fault for not shutting down the country in February, but now they say he doesn’t have the authority to open it back up in May?

It’s almost like Trump can’t be right in their eyes no matter what he does?

I don't think Trump or anybody has the authority no matter what they think to restart this thing. They scared the horse back in the barn by beating it over the head saying the sky is falling the sky is falling these last few months, and by telling us things are bad it is only going to get worse. Well now they think just by saying okay coast is clear you can come out the worse is over and now they expect us to think oh things are going to be back to normal. I call bull$&#T, things are not going to go back to normal, Trump could go out tomorrow and say its over folks come out of your houses, and lets go back to work and almost everybody would laugh at him, hell it would't matter who said it, Pelosi, Donald Duck, Bugs Bunny, things are not going to go back to normal while this thing is lurking around. People are kidding themselves, the first time a new case is reported in your town people will duck and run for cover.

The only way things go back to normal and people start to feel safe to get out is when we either have a vaccine or some sort of treatment that will help those that become sick or Covid disappears, Until then every time somebody comes down with it locally it's going to be like people just heard gun shots... they are going to run for cover.

And while I say all of this, I am not saying what we did was right or wrong, just saying people don't feel safe now, and until they start to feel safe again things are not going to go back to normal, it might change, but we won't be normal again for awhile.

Sort of like trying to move back into a snake infested house, when you have been told hey we got most of them but not all. Until you know for sure they are all gone, you an't sleeping good at night.

I think I’m the midwest, there are a lot less people scared than you think! Most I know are ready to move on.

Seems to be a lot of correlation to what political team you are on (and which news station you watch).

Maybe, and I do agree I think several are ready to move on, but is it all talk or are they ready to walk up and french kiss whoever has Covid and say I don't give a damn I am not scared.

I truly don't think it is going to be like a light switch that you turn off and on. Sure some will come out and be like whatever. But there are going to be many who may talk tuff out loud but at the first sign that Covid has been spotted in their neighborhood they are going to be running like back to shelter, with their tail tucked between their legs.

And then you have the legal aspect, several business owners want assurance that they are not going to be slapped with lawsuits. Walmart and other business are already having to fight them now. There is a lot to consider.

Oh I watch CNBC alot, but I want to see if I am up a million or two or down a few ... Then from there just the local news. I read more than anything love to read the news not watch it.

I am right with you. I don't have cable or local television. Just watch hot takes some and read stories. From: CNN, Blaze, OANN, Fox, BBC.

Sounds good. Trump cracked under pressure. I'm still voting for him.

I think to say everyone is going to go out and French kiss people is probably pretty silly, exaggerated, and unwise.

I think anyone who is sensible will still do some social distancing and use common sense.

I'm not scared of the virus, but I'm not going to lick a hospital bed either.

From what I've seen and heard from those that have had it, unlike some that actually didn't get very sick, if you ever get it you'll be afraid of it from then on. They are now trying to figure how bad the damage is to the lungs of people that have had it. This may be a very long term issue for many.

Yeah I just found out a distant relative got it, and they got it bad, they said it is something they wouldn't wish on their worst enemy.
The thing I am trying to understand is what make a person so sick, is it the virus that makes some so bad, our their own immune system trying to fight it that will send a person into a tail spin? From what I have read some of the worse have a run away immune system that is why some of those other drugs work because they shut that down.
