e.g. SD. We also have states acting like China, e.g. CA, MI, NY... The federalism is about freedom of states/communities from central power. If author dislike separation of powers, which he did since he is statist, just say it. No need to take on Trump and encourage him to take an authoritarian approach. He knows Trump can't do it, it is unconstitutional.
lockdown per Cuomo's statewide order. What the hell can Trump do about it? Nothing.
Maybe one of the liberals on the board can explain this one to me?

on meeting benchmarks. He has just unilaterally junked it and even attacked those following it.
I’ve said this several times. If he wants us to be Sweden, just have the balls to say it, follow it, and take the consequences. Or issue new guidelines for something short of that if he wants to go that way. He will never do so as it would tank his re-election. Because of the election, he wants it both ways and it doesn’t work like that.
His confusion, lack of real strategy, and back tracking has just confused everything. Lousy war time President.
Everyday is just a different TV episode in his mind ... just another news story and button to push on his internal video game.
There is never a policy or a strategy on anything. And suffocate any voice or expert who might have valuable information.
It appears because Trump did not mobilize the nation on the front end (especially testing and supplies) coupled with a lack of discipline scattered among our population, we are going to be stuck following Sweden and playing/hoping for the slow burn.
We're not going to have the necessary level of testing and tracing to wait out the critical need to restart the economy. Too deep of a hole.
But, the 8 weeks has helped get us to a better place than we were.
The lion's share of Americans get it, and will protect themselves. The large majority of governors and local leaders understand that they can manage campfires of virus outbreaks as opposed to bonfires.
Trump has long been discarded as useless by anyone that matters.
He clearly wants to be able to say that his admin put out clear guidelines for reopening...but at the same time the governors were too slow to reopen.
He can then try to ash his hands of the disease and the economic catastrophe.
And the QAnon psychos will eat it right up.

Now we will likely have over 100k dead.

death as of 4/30. That's an example. We will talk a lot abut this "100k dead". Who are they, what's their average age and how did they die?....

Are they like black people during slavery? 1/3 of a person? What is the correct way to quantify their deaths in your view?

The idea is for it not to get there in strength. It already had in those cases. The majority of the residents were infected.
So where would you have put them? Remember they don’t need acute hospital care but rather skilled nursing care. Who would care for them? How would you pay for it?
are largely empty and available. For example, younger age patients and relatively mild patients can be moved to those places, leaving elder patients in hospital. Or If I were the governor, I would rent one or two hotels for the elder. NYC is the capital of hotels, so many hotels. But they all are closed. Funding is not an issue if you set priority on which group and where you wan to help with your resources. We're capable of covering the cost of 10-14 day stay in hotel.

or a convention center, or a hotel. The hospital, not Cuomo had already discharged them or won’t admit them. Stop being an asshole idiot.

You are the worst kind of troll.
leaving them in hospitals. Governor has this mandate, just like Cuomo did a few days ago, reversed his previous order of 1.5 month ago.

1/22: “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.”
1/30: "We only have five people. Hopefully, everything’s going to be great."
2/1: “We pretty much shut it down coming in from China.”
2/10: “Looks like by April, you know, in theory, when it gets a little warmer, it miraculously goes away.
2/24: “The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA."
2/26: “When you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero"
3/10: "And we’re prepared, and we’re doing a great job with it. And it will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away.”
including the so called experts knew the severity of this virus, he never said no deaths. Be
a man instead of a drama queen, and admit your statement is bullshit.
How could there be deaths if it all "goes away?" (which he said in 2 of the quotes)
How could there be any American deaths if its only "one person coming in from China"?
No rational person could believe statements Trump was making at the time and that we would end up with any deaths, much less 100k. Be a man and admit that you didn't know about Trump's early quotes on the topic.
You find where he said it, and we'll talk some more. You won't find what you so blatantly
claimed he said. your a pathological liar like ur girl firiend, Adam Schift

We all expected you guys to see things through an anti-Trump lens. My worry for the past 2 months has been that the Left won't want to reopen, and that the Left's hatred would kill our way of life.
I was right on the money. I believe you personally want to reopen, Chris, but i am pretty sure that many of your fellow liberals do not.
Further, Fr Fleiger, liberal activist jesuit from Chicago and close personal friend and mentor of Barack Obama ,said it best:(paraphrase)
