Eighty percent feel the worst of the outbreak is yet to come, most (55%) feel President Donald Trump could be doing more to fight the outbreak, and 37% say they have grown more concerned about coronavirus in the last few days, far outpacing the 5% who say their fears have eased recently.
... Looking ahead, 60% of Americans say they would feel uncomfortable returning to their regular routines if social distancing guidelines were lifted after April 30.
https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/08/politics ... index.html
That last part is why Trump cannot simply “restart” the economy by lifting restrictions. The pandemic needs to be brought under firm control before the economy recovers. Restoring consumer confidence will take a long time. I don’t believe this recession will suddenly end in the third quarter. We’re likely to be in recession through the end of the year.

Docs starting too bleat about the Recovery and how terrible Trump will handle that
Surprised he hasn't added a daily 'racism' charge to how Trump deals with Covid-19, too. Even the New York Times has beaten him to the punch!

Re: All things Chinese CoronaVirus
These Coronavirus pressers are awesome.
If you aren’t watching, you should! they’re fantastic. Trump is a showman and lights up Democrats, all for free. Then he leaves. He’s like a great opening act.
Then Pence comes in and does very well. He intros Dr Birx who is sublime. Then Dr Birx intros Dr Fauci. He then passed the baton to Redfield the CDC director.
Very informative. Reassuring. Intelligent. Measured.
This thing is working. America gets it done!

On the timeline, do you really think that Governors are privy to same information a POTUS is, much less the degree of powers?
Did you hear Governors using the largest bully pulpit in the world to downplay the risk of the virus, as if the best scientists in the world were actually telling him that there was little to no risk?
I do give Trump something of a pass for most of January and I even give him a pass that last week of January when they sure as heck should have known better...but no pass for the next 6 weeks of not only dithering, but continuing all the way into well into May claiming the virus would just go away...

Redfield sure flirts with that.
