Polls

100 percent agreement, which of course I’m sure a number of people won’t agree with. However, that doesn’t mean that reality is wrong. Just that some folks don’t want to acknowledge the hard truth.

On April 30th, the President has to announce that he will allow those states Governors with little to no Wuhan Virus cases to re-open their economies May 1st. Otherwise, we will add another 6 million people to the unemployment rolls every single week and many small to mid-size businesses will simply cease to exist. Do the simple math folks. We had 156 million people employed in January of this year. Subtract a rate of 6 million a week and see how long it will be until we hit depression level numbers. Continuing much beyond April 30th will lead to a self-induced economic depression that would take years to recover from. NOT A VIABLE PATH NO MATTER WHAT DRS. FAUCI AND BIRX SAY. Dr. Fauci would have us stayed shutdown until a vaccine was available, which at best would take 12 to 18 months. Remember, we still don’t have a vaccine for the virus that made him famous: that being HIV. There are treatments, but no vaccine to eradicate that virus. So there is no guarantee a 100 percent effective vaccine, which is what Dr. Fauci is using as his standard, will ever be available. In the meantime, the country would implode economically, as month after month passes, with ultimately well over 100 million Americans unemployed.

The government can’t simply keep borrowing money to send out checks indefinitely. At some point, in the not too distant future at the rate these multi-trillion packages are being assembled, those nations buying our treasuries will look at us as the same kind of credit risk as Venezuela, Argentina and other collapsed economies and act accordingly. Meaning demand far higher interest rates to lend us money, if they deem to even want to lend us any more money. It’s called doing a risk / benefit analysis of the options and costs of paths on the table.

The rest of the country’s Governors, minus the 6 to 8 hot zones already identified, can begin re-opening over the following two weeks based again on the hospitalizations declining in those states. Places like NYC, NJ and other hot zones will take longer to get back. Better to have 90 to 95 percent of the country back up and running than idling the whole country until we meet Dr. Fauci’s unrealistic goal of not one new Wuhan Virus infection or one more death. Also both Drs. Fauci and Birx ARE NOT ruling out that this virus isn’t seasonal. Meaning it may very well return in the fall like all other flu viruses. Are we expected to then shutdown the country in October again?

Finally, the so-called model that everyone seems to be relying on appears to be deeply flawed or poorly designed. Any model that starts out predicting 2,200,000 total U.S. deaths 4 to 5 weeks ago and steadily declines almost daily down to now 50,000 total U.S. deaths (likely to go even lower by the time this is done), can’t be well designed. No single variable, that being simple self-distancing which Dr. Birx keeps attributing to almost rate relate of decline, should not be sufficient to result in a decline of this magnitude. The incubation period of the virus in 7 to 21 days, so the stats the model generates shouldn’t change almost daily. Amazing that after numerous requests from several sources, the creators of this model or either Drs. Fauci or Birx, refuse to share the detailed metrics used by this model that was the major reason the government decided to shutdown the economy in the first place.

This is great,lets get it done!

How will this legislation affect the cost of medications? We need to strongly consider this and establish other inexpensive avenues for the components and medications.

When does the USA wake up? We have made great strides in reducing our dependence on foreign oil, but not in other areas. Expand the scope to include all exports from China, period. If not we will see the Chinese take over America without the need to use warfare of any fashion.

It’s quite simple. We need to bring back American jobs.

We need to our manufacturing base back to the USA, for as many products as possible.

We need trade with all nations but certain critical care items should never be relied on from a country other than ours. It’s called common sense. If TV or iPhones stop shipping from Asia due to war or trade issues we will survive but pharmacy items cutoff would not be good.

Medicines are the first, most other essential commodities should follow. Communist China is not our friend.

I voted “oppose” for two reasons:
One is – we don’t have enough information about the bill. We’d be absolute fools to think that the extent of this bill would be exactly as (here) printed, stand alone and one page long; and,
Two is – even as described here it moves US further into a socialist (i.e. government controlled) economy.
That said, I really would like to see market pressures (capitalism) move us out of China (not because I dislike the people there, but because their (Communist) leaders lied to the rest of the world.

I agree, we lost the “made in America” years ago. Also when will the VA really help vet as filing claims rather then consistently denying them.

I’ve never been in favor of America giving up it’s manufactoring base one bit.

Did you know that all vitamin C also is produced in China as well as many other supplements
