He's not asking for "the end of social distancing," he's asking for a more balanced approach between lock down everything and closed baseball stadiums. In examples used he doesn't call for an end of mass gatherings, he doesn't fall for a blockage on cruises, he's asking for something in the middle. That's a fair position to take as he's focusing on other important numbers too - mental health issues and domestic abuse ARE spiking right now, to a very alarming degree. 17 million unemployment and growing. Even in his mental health hotline stuff, he could've gone deeper. Examples: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-04-05/coronavirus-crisis-suicide-hotline-mental-health-counselor Or https://www.businessinsider.com/coronavirus-causes-spike-number-of-texts-to-crisis-text-line-2020-4 The jump IS a concern and it'd be wrong to ignore that. Unemployment causing that is a definite problem we can't ignore and fortunately with the extra $600/week, can hopefully be midigated. Small businesses definitely need more bailout. It's fair to want the whole picture of the damage being done as right now the issue is rapidly shifting to a case where people aren't coping with this at all. Now personally my reaction to a lot of that is "toughen up and get inside" but I can't ignore that the numbers are concerning and if you want to help that aspect, you've gotta do what he said in the end: explain why this should continue, clearly. Repeatedly. Like we're 5. Both federal and state. edit: and no, tucker didn't go that into the last line i gave but really, that's what it demands and it's unfortunate. people need numbers. especially with Easter around the corner, Passover just the other day... yeah. it's gonna be bad again... in 2 and a half weeks. -_- --- The King Wang.
