Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said on Thursday that he believes businesses in the U.S. will be open again as early as next month amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Call me crazy, call me foolish, but I just don’t trust the judgment of Steve “Mumbles” Mnuchin. Frankly, I don’t trust any of the members of this criminal enterprise.
Nuchie is spitting in the wind…he needs to pay attention to the last job he was handed that he is not getting done…The rollout of payments to small businesses…Failed admin of impeached dotard scumbag… All around the spectrum screwups…
Maybe Stevie should be focusing on the botched roll out of the small business loans so they do not go bankrupt before the economy opens up. Just a thought.
However, mathematical modelling to simulate the impact of relaxing current control measures, suggests that premature lifting of these interventions will likely lead to transmissibility exceeding 1 again, resulting in a second wave of infection.
The findings are critical to countries globally that are in the early phases of lock down because they warn against premature relaxation of strict control measures, researchers say. However, the study did not specifically examine the effect of each intervention, or which one was most effective in containing the spread of the virus.
A warning. Again for Hubei.
Moreover, the estimates suggest that once elevated, simply tightening control interventions again would not reduce the burden back to its original level, and would require extra effort to drive the reproductive number below 1 in order to revert to the pre-relaxation level – likely resulting in both higher health and economic loss.
Things won’t approach normalcy until we have an effective vaccine.
Wrong again, liver lips. The entire question of when businesses reopen will be the ultimate face-off between the Trump administration and science. Either they will be forced to accept the science and not reopen when all the jackasses promised they would, or they will ignore it and a second wave will crash the economy even further. Either way it will continue to erode what little trust the public has in them.
Bull Phucky… Just saw yesterday that it is estimated that the peak for TN, I’m in East TN, will not hit until the 28th. So tell me just how things would cool down enough to open in May. The graph was still showing about 10% infection rates come June. Again, Bull Phucky just politics and wishful thinking. Unless the mal-Administration is looking for a strong 2nd round for the Summer months.
Eric Boehlert keeps asking, “Why is Trump doing this?” It goes beyond mere incompetence and confusing contradictions. And the media so far have not adequately addressed this question.
