I think both Trump and Pence want to leave that to the individual states making their own decisions. Which is probably wise, since the democrats would give them nothing but grief for doing that, even if the democrats wanted it done too. They would probably try to impeach Trump again over it....
Connie and I watched the White House coronavirus press conference last night and apparently they are expecting a very rough time over the next three weeks. This is telling me that they likely believe that there are a ton of asymptomatic carriers now in the USA, and that once the incubation period expires and the symptoms manifest themselves, medical facilities are going to get swamped with a surge of patients with serious life threatening symptoms. At
BEST, they are projecting 100,000 USA deaths during that time period.
With the above in mind, if you aren't on lockdown yourself right now, it might be a real good idea to do so immediately. Trump admitted that this is an EXTREMELY contagious pathogen, and obviously needs to be taken seriously. Meaning that if you are around someone who is asymptomatic and shedding the virus, there is a very good chance you will catch it too. And then you will be asymptomatic and be shedding viruses to everyone else you come in contact with.
IMHO, this is going to be difficult to AVOID catching unless you develop a paranoid bunker mentality. Assume the worst and don't even bother hoping for the best right now. There are cases of people developing first symptoms and then being dead three or four days later. There is evidence this attacks the central nervous system and brain stem through the olfactory and/or optic nerves. It is NOT just a flu that might give you pneumonia, which is bad enough.
Just think about it. We have had flu come and go every year, but we have NEVER seen governments react like this over a flu or cold. IMHO, they know a lot more about this than they are telling, and they know spilling those beans would expose bad enough news to cause real panic. They are building as many RESPIRATORS as quickly as they can. That should be telling you something, right there. They are expecting a lot of people to be needing them REAL SOON.
