People complaining that TN is opening up to early

Higher population density explains the difference in case numbers and deaths. Do you really think the coronavirus knows who is a democrat and who is a republican? That's just ignorance on your part.

We are still in the initial phases of this virus. If you open up because Trump and his goons value the economy over human life, many more people will die. That's just a fact. But you can watch it play out in real time now that republicans are willing to kill people for the economy. Oh, and don't come back later trying to blame Obama, the WHO, the CDC, Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, and anyone and everyone else. It will be you and your Dear Leader and the republican governors who are to blame.

Yes, because no one ever travels from or between cities.

The numbers are low because people can't yet be tested and there are often no signs of infection. TN, like the rest of the US, has no idea how many cases there are.

The reason for stay-at-home orders are to keep the numbers low. You don't lift it because of that reason. It's like saying "there are no lions out tonight so we should all eat fresh meat in the open air for dinner."

You're diagnosing 2 a day for the same reason FL is reporting exactly 5 cases a day in our county - there's not enough testing.

GA is rising sharply in cases. Among the steepest in the nation:
The economy means nothing is people are out of work, paying for funerals or shouldering medical expenses. We're not even set for the 2nd - and often deadliest - wave of virus.

Pelosi and her "goons" are fighting for the very same small businesses you claim to care about. But they want to ensure that low-income areas, challenged areas and businesses headed by women and minorities are also protected. You know, that 'taking care of all Americans' thing.

And if they do and numbers of infected and dying increase...what will you say to their relatives ?
Knowing that the decision you made put them unnecessarily at risk of death ?
How many would be an acceptable number to die before a decision was made to shut everything down?

When people start dying en masse because you think what is happening in New York, Massachusetts, etc. can't happen to lil ole you, you will be the one complaining, most likely the loudest assuming you are among the living. Here' a little life lesson for you, son... dead people can't work.

They came up with the same reasoning over here in Lombardy at first. Less than 50 cases, "everything is under control", "starving will kill more than the virus", "it's just slightly worse than a flu", "our hospitals can handle it well, we've much better structures than China did". Because of them we've had to lockdown the whole country for more than a month.

What it says is they aren't lying about their stats to kiss up to the Impeached Forever Orange Traitor.

He (and therefore, you) should be grateful to the Democrats. They are helping him get to his desired high score of 200K+ deaths in the USA, which, as he himself stated, would be a "very good job" done by him.

It's also worth noting that once *most* people (the vast majority; at least 99%) are exposed to the virus, they will develop antibodies to fight the virus, and once they're exposed to more people, our species will develop herd immunity, which is almost as good as a vaccine, at least until we're able to develop one.

In other words, if I go out, catch the virus from someone else without knowing it, and my immune system fights it off without any symptoms, that will prevent me from getting it again. Then all the people around me will do the same, and so on and so forth, until our entire society recovers.

The low-developed backwards places are obviously the safest to start reopening soon. This is as good an experiment as any we can run in the country, with the least potential consequences.

This isn't politics as usual, it's life and death. The virus will surge in places that lift restrictions to soon & more people will die!
Stay safe ✌

Complainers can remain at home.

Fine - then I hope the governors of other states ban incoming hillbilly traffic.

It’s ridiculous. We need to get back to normalcy!!!

and the whistle Blowers in China have all suddenly "gone to ground" don't forget
