    The first thing they need to do according multiple doctors... is getting people who need medical treatment less fearful and to start seeking proper medical care.

    You team scared the hell out of people with irresponsible non science / non fact based headlines....

    Trump urges Michigan governor to give in to ‘very good people’ who stormed statehouse with guns

    President Donald Trump called on Michigan’s governor to cave in to the demands of gun-toting protesters who stormed the state Capitol.

    Armed demonstrators crowded into the statehouse Thursday to demand Gov. Gretchen Whitmer ease social distancing restrictions during the coronavirus pandemic, and Trump praised them as “very good people” in an echo of his comments on armed white supremacists who rallied nearly three years ago in Charlottesville, Virginia.

    “The Governor of Michigan should give a little, and put out the fire,” Trump tweeted. “These are very good people, but they are angry. They want their lives back again, safely! See them, talk to them, make a deal.”

    remind me of the good people that were hoping to visit a "draw Mohammad" Texas exposition and were gunned down by LEO before they ever got there. They weren't white though.

    Alex Jones endorses cannibalism less than two months into coronavirus lockdowns


    [​IMG]



    Right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones unleashed an insane rant on Friday in which he discussed eating his own neighbors should the COVID-19 lockdown continue.

    “I will admit it — I would eat my neighbors,” Jones said. “I’m not letting my kids die. I’m just going to be honest. My superpower is being honest. I’ve extrapolated this out — and I won’t have to for a few years because I’ve got food and stuff — but I’m literally looking at my neighbors now and going, ‘I’m ready to hang ’em up and gut ’em and skin ’em.”
    Jones then praised himself for his honesty in his endorsement of cannibalism.

    “My superpower is being honest — I’ll eat your ass!” Jones said.

    He then angrily blamed the “globalists” for instituting lockdowns and forcing him to consider eating people.

    “You think I like sizing up my neighbor?!” he yelled. “I’m gonna haul him up by a chain and chop his ass up! I’ll do it! My children aren’t going hungry! I’ll eat your ass! And that’s what I want the globalists to know — I will eat your ass first!”

    Please stop posting articles and failing to articulate a single thought of your own. We call this spamming.

    gwb-trading has no rational thought.

    Below it states that covid-19 will not be controlled until 67% of population is immune. If that is the case, I don't see any benefit of continuing the shutdown.

    Covid-19 Pandemic Likely to Last Two Years, Report Says

    The coronavirus pandemic is likely to last as long as two years and won’t be controlled until about two-thirds of the world’s population is immune, a group of experts said in a report.

    Here is the trade-off lives versus jobs according to Wharton. If states re-open before June with social distancing measures in place than there will be an additional 23,3,000 deaths by the end of June but save 18 million jobs. If states re-open in June with no social distancing in place there results will reach 950,000 deaths by the end of June

    Reopening States Before June Would Save Millions Of Jobs But Result In Hundreds Of Thousands More Coronavirus Deaths
    https://www.forbes.com/sites/sergei...-more-coronavirus-deaths-report/#264a04ea6fca

    As some states begin to relax lockdown orders and allow businesses to reopen, a new report from the Penn Wharton Budget Model (PWBM) on Friday found that reopening before June could save 18 million jobs but also result in over 200,000 additional COVID-19 deaths.

    KEY FACTS
    • If states keep lockdowns in place through June, about 18.6 million more jobs would be lost, PWBM projects. U.S. GDP by that point would fall to almost 12% lower than it was a year prior.
    • The national death toll will near 117,000, up from the current 63,000, if lockdown orders are extended through June.
    • If states begin partially reopening (lifting emergency declarations, stay-at-home orders and school closures) then the nation would see 45,000 more deaths in addition to the 117,000, PWBM’s model forecasts.
    • A partial reopen would, however, save some 4.4 million jobs out of 14 million more projected to be lost in the next two months, and GDP would fall by 10.7% compared to a year earlier.
    • If states were to fully reopen—immediately lifting all lockdown orders and business closures, that would lead to an additional 233,000 deaths from the coronavirus by the end of June, PWBM found.
    • Under that scenario, GDP on June 30, 2020, would increase by around 1.5% relative to not reopening, with almost all job losses since May 1 getting regained.
    • If a full reopening results in Americans relaxing their social distancing measures, then cumulative national deaths will reach a catastrophic 950,000 by the end of June, PWBM’s report shows.
    • Under those same circumstances, 4.1 million jobs would be regained from losses between March and April.

    Key background
    The total number of jobs lost over the last six weeks now amounts to more than 30 million as the coronavirus crisis continues to force business closures, layoffs and furloughs on an unprecedented scale. Another 3.8 million people filed temporary unemployment claims last week, according to data released by the Labor Department on Thursday.

    Crucial statistics
    The U.S. now has more than 1 million confirmed cases of coronavirus, with the death toll surpassing 63,000.
