      There's some evidence that the people Trump listens to (mainly Fox News) are divided on coronavirus -- with one wing wanting to take a full social darwinist approach (let the disease run wild to extinguish itself quickly for sake of economy). This is a real danger. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1241935285916782593 …

      The good news is that Trump doesn't have the power to lift the quarantines (it's handled by governors and mayors). Even Republican governors will be reluctant to do this. The bad news is if Trump goes anti-quarantine his many supporters will listen to him.

          It's long been obvious that Trump was running a cult. The question now is if it's a death cult.

          The two dozen people waiting in line to get into the grocery store at 7am this morning standing RIGHT NEXT to each other is a direct result of this narrative. A direct result.

          Then they'll all meet up and swap filthy high fives. Then they'll probably meet up at their elderly parent's house to talk about how everything's fine. How many ways can Trump supporters wreck the country they claim to love?

          This is exactly right. And also NBA players will not feel safe to play, and conferences will still be on hold etc. Trump has no power over any of that.

          The worst case scenario is a probably not quite-bent curve. Where you have really high levels of infection and an overwhelmed medical system, but instead of being over in a few week, it plateaus and drags out for months. This seems to be where Italy and we are headed.

          Yes. They'll start having house parties and gathering in any public spaces or businesses that will allow them. And desperate business owners will allow it and cross their fingers.
