      There are 2,000 plus deaths a day, testing remains woefully inadequate, there's no tracing and isolating infrastructure, but a wide swath of the American political and business elite wants to re-open the economy pronto. I hope people remember this moment forever.https://twitter.com/chrislhayes/status/1253087557363138564 …

      One of our producers notes that for all the talk about the virus *going away* and maybe "returning in the fall," IT IS HERE RIGHT NOW. Nearly 30,000 new cases today and over 2100 Americans have lost their lives *TODAY* to it.

      I honestly don't even think it's that wide a swath, a loud, reactionary vanguard, but it's not a widely held view

          oh definitely. I just think, like, even if you surveyed the CEOs of the entire Fortune 500, they'd be considerably more careful/risk averse than Gov. Kemp

          Generally in this white house that means its not a widely supported view

          @HeerJeet knows that, he just can't admit that he is part of the problem. Hence the spin instead of a response.

          It's promoted by segments of the media Sweden already has more than 2x deaths of locked-down, similar size Portugal, but . .https://mobile.twitter.com/dohertytjp/status/1253083895853207552 …

          Thomas Doherty @dohertytjp
          This bullshit is easily tested. Portugal, with a slightly larger population, locked down early. Looks like Sweden's going to have 5x - 10x more deaths. Pure "open the economy" propaganda https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/22/no-lockdown-in-sweden-but-stockholm-could-see-herd-immunity-in-weeks.html?__source=sharebar|twitter&par=sharebar …

          This does not respond to the point @chrislhayes is making. Do you care to respond to the point he is making?
