    You understand that once parts of the country start gathering they will spread the virus and once large numbers of people start getting sick the economy will stop. No one will go out.

    You think anyone is going to go to a fracking baseball game before there is a vaccine?

    Unemployment is caused by people not wanting to get infected. Trump didn't close ****, Business told their employees to work from home. Those employees are staying home. Please explain who is going to go to crowded restaurant?

    Trump is responsible because he ignored the problem and did not prepare.

    The end.

    Your bogie man virus is not selling anymore. People are not scared of it because the established numbers do not lie, it has zero effect on the vast majority of people and a death rate that is very small and by and large effects a select group of people. People can and will work around those facts. The economy is not going to stop because large number of people "get sick". The doom and gloom sales pitch wore itself out from over use.

    And yes I do think their will be sports before there is a vaccine. What makes you think there won't be? No ideal where you live but we are opening up in Texas already :)

    And the worst part is, most of those who lost their jobs were the ones who were earning the least amount of money to begin with.

    Government policymakers were so out of touch, they were encouraging people to work from home as a solution. As if everyone had a job in an office setting.

    So what was Obama/Biden's responsibility for using the National Stockpile of N95 masks and leaving it depleted for 7 years, so it becomes someone else's problem?

    I just bought stock in Draft Kings in anticipation of sports coming back very soon. Next stock will be Wing Stop. I guess there will be more deaths but from traffic accidents, since there will be more people on the road. The more people mingle the better chance of some resistance building up. We will have high death rates for a couple years but if we can develop some vaccine or shot the hope Is we can get back to some normalcy.

    I would recommend you never attempt to get a job as an economist.

    Fake News. Unemployment rate is 14.7% You are off by a LOT.

    Red States handled the crisis much better than most of the Blue States, though there are some Blue States that did very well, CA and HI for example. But, these Gov's have been much more intelligent and agile in their response that some of the power mad Democrat Gov who are acting as modern day Pharaohs and refusing to let their people go.

    EVEN THE ATLANTIC IS NOTICING: The ‘Just Stay Home’ Message Will Backfire: We need less extreme and more nuanced recommendations for navigating life during the pandemic. Just stay home for a couple of weeks, sure. For endless months, no.
