   He would not have had to make it mandatory.  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.
