It would have helped if he       had simply recommended that people stay at home except for essential       services. Instead, he is now telling people to open up, damn the       consequences to their and other's health.              My state governor did institute a stay at home "sugestion in mid March       and then a stay at home order with teeth on March 30. The result was a       much better record with respect to deaths than other states with early       infections who stayed more open.               AT> Also, he could have shut down all        AT> international travel immediately.              Didn't he eventually do that in essence, albeit after the disease was       already here.               AT> Even now, he could/should demand all        AT> Americans to get tested & quarantined if positive.              That would be great --- why doesn't he do that? Instead he had       downplayed testing because "if you test more people, you get bad numbers       of infected people".               AT> Does that sound like stuff Democrats will let him get away with?              It sounds like stuff the Democrats have been asking for.               Dale Shipp        fido_261_1466 (at) verizon (dot) net        (1:261/1466)                     ...
