It's fine for **you** to open back up.
I think this is probably a fair indication

I disagree, when the time comes, we have to ease into it. Business should dicide when to and pay up if they end up spreading it.
kenxa2k12
Because you need money?
apoliticalaperson
There will be gradual reopenings of businesses. Kissing babies is a long way off, but we won't stay completely shut down until then.
MadOatmeal
Agreed, except for shaking hands and kissing babies. That should not be done before way way later.

I couldn't believe how stupid this sounded so I looked up his actual words and holy shit it's even fucking stupider.

I love how his asking an admittedly stupid QUESTION gets twisted into a STATEMENT of certitude. People hear what they want.

It tells me that people are really dumb and just Wanna get their hair done at the risk of getting a virus

And all government employees who are not ill should be at work.

In that case you're part of the control group. Sorry to inform you.

This.

Yes, but actually no. While Washington DC may be safe first, it doesn’t mean it’ll be safe to reopen elsewhere.
toddbuy
DC is considered one of the hardest hit, so DC would not be considered safe. I believe the way to read the image is at any states (1/2)
toddbuy
gov't office should be opened first before local businesses in that state. And the person wanted to see it start in DC 1st because of Trump
Benki6wbh
There's one step before the government opens and that is the waffle House is open. Look at the waffle House index with FEMA and the CDC.
fooglephish
Opening the capital, in the middle of a metropolis, is the same as opening up a rural farming community. Makes sense.
Nananosaur
Seeing how POTUS is, he might as well be doing all of that. That doesn't mean anything is ready...
WisconsinHome
Great points

Like I trust my city to know not to open prematurely. They keep trying to say the libraries are essential. The LIBRARIES, dammit!
ColonelThrust
In some situations, libraries are the only source of internet for folks in poverty, and internet can be essential for certain needs
3Davideo
I'll clarify. They're not open to the public, but they're insisting on the employees continuing to work.. to answer the phones.
ColonelThrust
Okay, that's a good bit weird. Maybe there's a good reason we're not aware of.... I hope...
3Davideo
There isn't. The management is fucking moronic.
DrunkenValkyrie
It’s not about the virus, it’s about getting people off unemployment & stopping relief checks.
copingcabana
Okay. Billionaires to politicians on their payroll: "Some of you may die, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make."

Kemp is opening bars before the DMV. I can't get a drivers license renewal, but I can go get a beer... #republicanLogic

I'll open when Disneyland opens back up.
ActionJohnnie
I’ll open up when porn starts filming again.
Easykehl
That’s what Disneyland said about your business.
lildog21
I think Disney world is supposed to open up sometime mid May, unless they pushed it back again
LychFinderGeneral
Since Disney took it more seriously than the Florida State government...yeah
Sm9yCg
And Disney is just as greedy.
Bombideer
Disney may be powerful and greedy but they know the backlash of keeping it open too long would be terrible for their business long-term
Sm9yCg
Disney is run by intelligent people. Greedy amoral asshole, but they are not dumb.
TwoAccountsDown
Just heard on the radio a few minutes ago that their current projections are June.
ajhorselady84
I live in texas. We're planning to open up amusement parks and attractions by may 1st. I'm a little scared.
askaglassofwater
Yeah! You first, 'leaders'!

Some just work there, irrespective of which dipshit is running the place...
sonofcyrus138
This isn't the first time a bunch of old white dudes has sent others out to die for them. It won't be the last.
mardukkur
Was it yesterday or the day before that the number of dead Americans from coronavirus surpassed the death count from the war in Vietnam?
sonofcyrus138
That is correct. Soon we'll have a 9/11 every day.
FallingWithStyleSquirrel
You know the vast majority of us in DC aren't politicians, right?
SweetTapDancingToasters
Right! We don’t deserve this
MrTay
Or we roll it out like the researchers are recommending. Some businesses are lower risk that can minimize interaction like construction. 1/
ZachariasWolfe
Yeah I don't like this argument. It's implying that all activities are equally risk and just ignoring the whole risk vs reward argument
chloramphenicolderivative
Yeah, there's no reason to not open construction before you open Disneyland. The US is 45% tarding one way and 45% tarding the other way.
MrTay
But I agree with the sentiment put your money where your mouth is. If you wouldn’t feel safe in an industry then don’t open. I would feel 2/
MrTay
Safe in construction or stores with limited capacity, masks, sanitized, 6 foot spacing. We are going to have too ease the bandage off
Dipityseren
Currently VET senior homes are supplying carers two masks a month. Let's get people who need it the most some PPE then worry about opening.
MrTay
That’s for a few reasons. Construction has a different supply chain and it also uses different gear. Which medical professionals do not 1/
MrTay
Always want. For example I tried to donate p100 filter set to the hospital but the masks are too bulky for them that use the filters
illegalacorn
We are going to ease it off when it's actually ready, right now we're still doubling death counts every 3-4 days aren't we? it's fucked.
MrTay
I’m in Seattle our situation is different we’ve had a decline for awhile you can pull it off of wa.gov website. We actually rolled it 1/
MrTay
Out differently and managed our cases better despite being the first. Nation wide god no but we should localize it even to county.
Youwouldntstealatoaster
I agree with the sentiment, but in truth, some businessess are more capable of opening up without risk of spreading the disease than others.
themadbull
Yup like courts and and pretty much any govt building and process.
Youwouldntstealatoaster
I disagree, at least regarding to the activities the post specified. Guided tours, kissing babies, shaking hands. Also, it seems 1/2
Youwouldntstealatoaster
non-essential to open up capital buildings to the public, unless it would be required for some important service to the visitors.
Youwouldntstealatoaster
Courts seem like a good idea tho, but I am not a medical professional.
IrrelativeTheory
I liked Cuomo's idea of opening in stages, open low risk, more essential businesses. Watch the curve for a week or two. Close if it gets bad
mardukkur
No knock on Cuomo but that's just basic common sense. It only sounds brilliant because of the comparison to king stupid.
IrrelativeTheory
I know it's basic common sense but some governors / mayors seem incapable of that level of thought. It's just absolutely mind boggling.

So something like this? Which is why he went after GA Governor?
mardukkur
I didn't see any mention of when we're supposed to drink bleach?
Scrappy1841
Great job ignoring the point for a pithy oneliner. Additionally disinfectant not bleach. He was wrong to say it, but at least attach the 1/2
IrrelativeTheory
Not a fan of the president but the guidelines seem reasonable. I hope the filler guidelines have benchmarks on R0 and other statistics.
