The social and ideological divide between the right and the left has been deeply obvious, and at time issues seem like they could be powder kegs in terms of civil unrest.
So right now the difference of opinion is deadly, one side is right here, and the other side that has it wrong is going to face devastating differences in how states have responded. The difference in how one state that closes up things a couple of weeks early is being seen with the early statistical differences. The states with equal situations and first cases reported dates that respond even two weeks late see a difference of several hundred new cases, weeks later that will have expanded to thousands different, and a few weeks later to substantially more and less deaths. That is a rude time to be waking up and realizing the other side was right.
Italy went there, we are seeing in real time what happened to a country that did exactly what our president and administration did, they have been warning us. Here's what is different... they had a president that saw the mistake and immediately went into full lockdown to try to curb it. We can see how many weeks of extreme quarantine and shutting down it takes to begin to make a difference, and weeks makes huge differences on the top of the curve, the curve being compounded to an incredible degree by the time we try to reverse it.
We still have states that are refusing to adequately lock themselves down even as they are promising to be another Italy in the making. Louisiana listened to the government and refused to shut down Mardi Gras and Fat Tuesday, and their new cases and deaths are starting to go ballistic. Florida refused to shut down spring break, and we still haven't seen the cost in new cases.
I want the right to wake up as soon as possible, this is going to disproportionally k**l off the right the longer it takes for them to wake up. This is about exponential growing numbers, which are hard to understand. A one week delay taken six weeks down the road changes and adds to the really big numbers down the road...
45 days in the curve goes 10 to 20 in four days, to 40 in eight, 80 in twelve, 160/16, 240/20, ... a month and a half can easily go to 60,000, weeks later that t***slates to the proportionate number of deaths.
Tennessee hasn't been willing to start anything proactive until like the last day, so their curve that is at 800 that's going up double in four days will be out to tens of thousands, and they will not be controlling it within anything short of six weeks. Tennessee is as red as it gets, right wingers will be the ones dying in disproportionate numbers, plus lefties will be holed up and will do better on that count.
I'd like to get through to as many people as I can, this v***s is k*****g americans, real and otherwise. If I didn't believe this I'd be saying "you go Trump, you da man". He is advocating ideas and has been from the start that is k*****g his supporters, my fellow americans.

I fail to see why it is President Trumps fault. If he and the experts from the Federal Government provide guidelines for action based on what they know and State Government font follow them how is it President Trumps fault. Would you rather he had just taken control of all the states from the beginning and nullified all state rights
