1. Trump convenes Economic Task Force and they eventually recommend opening with certain conditions (prudent/calculated)
2. Republican Govs (and a few moderate Dem Govs) agree and move forward with recommendations
3. Blue states watch as red states recover economically while their idiot leaders tow the line of resistance to Trump.
4. Meanwhile the media blames Trump for any anomaly or situation gone wrong with the Covid #s in the Red States.
5. Chaos ensues in Blue states

Any of these states that are swing states will swing to Trump in November.

ETA: Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, etc.

Chaos is going to look like people getting paid to sit home while politicians keep increasing the amount of pay.

Sounds about right.

Those without comorbidity age 45 and younger go back to work if they have work to go back to. Extensive and repeated testing for the virus is done. Everyone is tested for the antibody and those with the antibody go back to work if they have work to go back to.

I could definitely see it playing out like your scenario.

Thank you for your post.

I don’t follow how 1-4 lead to number 5. Large unemployment checks will keep that from happening.

The word "certain" is doing an awful of work here. I mean, isn't the crux of the issue that the administration can't align on what those conditions would be?

You forgot:

All States ask for Fed Bailout as they are unable (actually unwilling to cut services) to meet their budget due to loss of sales taxes, income taxes, associated business taxes, fees of all sorts.

Unlike the FedGov, States cannot run a deficit and cannot just issue debt willy-nilly to fund themselves. Talking absurd shite like CA and IL and territories like PR getting all their long term Dem Gov Handout deficits wiped clean on the work and earnings of the rest of the nations taxpayers. Our National Debt is headed towards a rocket launch deficit bailout that will triple or quadruple the current total debt.

Honestly, I just got lazy. And besides, most of the responses would’ve been TLDR if I would’ve continued with my logic

Not sure your stance or situation but I make more sitting at home. I’d gladly go back to work but there’s plenty who will wait till the money runs out before going back.
