What Experts Say About Trump’s Coronavirus Easter Plan

Written by Jack Hassard

What do experts say about Trump’s Coronavirus Easter plan. For most of us, Trump’s idea of opening large swarths of the country for “business as usual,” is a preposterous idea. As Anthony Fauci said right after Trump made the claim, “you need to evaluate the feasibility of what you are trying to do. You have to think what kind of metrics, what kind of data are you going to look at. Obviously no one is going to want to tone down things, like in New York City.”

Coronavirus Clusters in the U.S.

Trump is pushing the idea of returning to what it was like in the U.S. in February. He must be blind to what has happened since then, and in denial about the current expansion of the virus in the country. There is a link between population density, and the metrics of the COVID-19 disease. If you look at Coronavirus COVID-15 Global Cases by the Center for System Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins, you can investigate how the virus has populated the world. It’s in clusters. If you go to this map, and expand it, you will see the clusters of infection. Even in states that appear to have just a few dots, one would take a risk to many people if we suddenly lifted the social distancing and isolation principals.

We also know that one person who is exposed, or has been infected, can easily infect many others. The evidence is that the infection spreads, especially in families, and closely associated groups. Social distancing and isolation are crucial to stop the spreading of the virus.

What Dr. Fauci Says

Dr. Tony Fauci, and Dr. Deborah Birx are the two scientists on the White House Coronavirus Task Force. They often appear on TV next to the moron President, who ignores their research and comments, putting millions of people at risk.

Here is a video clip of Dr. Fauci talking right after Trump made his ludicrous proposal to open the country on Easter (2020), or 18 days from now. Here is what Dr. Fauci had to say about Trump’s Coronavirus Easter plan.

After you watch the video clip, you want to follow up by visiting the COVID-19 Resource List.

Georgia schools should not open. If they are open, they should close. A red line of at least 10% must be reached, but many say that a 5% test rate should be reached. Georgia’s rate of infection is 13%. Not the time to open schools.

Why Isn’t Testing free, easy, fast and accurate in the U.S.?

Ten days ago I was tested for COVID-19. I found out today that my test was negative. As you will find out, this kind of delay between test and result is unacceptable. Yet, with COVID-19 raging again around the country, this is the normal for testing.

Do I have Covid-19?

Do I have COVID-19? About 1.1 million people in Georgia have been tested for COVID-19. Nearly 21,000 new cases were reported today. Although the number of positive tests has been about 10%, today’s results indicated that 16% of the tests were positive. To stop the spread of the virus, contact tracing needs to be expanded and supported. But will it?
