    Keep an eye on this. If this becomes the new Fox News conventional wisdom -- that coronavirus is overstated and we should weaken quarantine -- there is a real chance Trump will pick up on it.https://twitter.com/MattGertz/status/1241513763045597194 …

    Fox “news” and “opinion” side folks are credulously sharing a tech guy’s Medium post theorizing that the dangers of coronavirus are overstated and schools and businesses should be reopened. pic.twitter.com/cbnvIjLY3u

        this is why the miracle cure is so important — it allows trump to be the tough steely leader who protected us from the chinese virus AND that things will basically be fine in two weeks

        They’re deep into this dumbass theory because he was spouting it a few weeks ago. It’s a perfect circle of idiot logic.

        I think likeliest option is this won't become conventional wisdom at least until the Coronavirus bailout passes. Businesses would want the government handout first.

        I’m sure the tall curve showing 2 million dead appeals to him as a way to end the pandemic before November.
