“ Momentum appears to be building for a national shutdown to confront the coronavirus crisis, raising the prospect that President Trump could issue an order requiring people to stay at home.

Such an order would be unprecedented in American history, but some of Trump's top advisors have said publicly they would be open to it. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said Sunday he had raised the prospect of such a dramatic step with the administration.

“I think we should really be overly aggressive and get criticized for overreacting,” Fauci said Sunday on NBC's Meet The Press. “I think Americans should be prepared that they're going to have to hunker down significantly more than we as a country are doing.””

From an article in the hill.   

Great so if the government completely bungles everything worse than they already have, people won’t be able to protest or congregate in the streets. So far I have seen no proposal that assures me that everything will be ok by forcing us to shelter in place while millions go without income and the bills continue piling up.

Sheltering at home is our best defense against this right now so other than those performing essential services, the more people who stay home, the better.  I don't want us to have lines of military vehicles carting off corpses like what is happening in Italy. 

This is hard for all of us.  My wife's bookstore is closed and she isn't sure she will even have a business when this is all over.  My business is shut down and I no longer (hopefully just for now but iffy) have a job (and all of the store employees are out of work).  But I'm staying home.  It's the right thing to do.  We NEED to do this.

Easy to say right now...how about if this goes on a couple months  and people have no money for food and bills and no homes?

Up for the govt to support this and go implement a way to survive this. 
The easiest thing is to keep trying to limp and ignore the things we are seeing.
For our fucking idiot of a president to seek credit for how great a job he is doing.....

But you do realize the government gets its money from us, right? So if half the population is out of work the government won’t have a substantial way to support the other half.

Easy to say?  Read my post again and tell me that was easy to say.  Oh, that's right, most used book dealers are rolling dough.  Come on man...

They did the stimulus 11 years ago and it worked. The US was losing 700,000 jobs a month. They passed the stimulus and every month since then experienced job growth. Until now.

I am a traditional conservative economic believer.
Yes, I understand where taxes come from.
I also understand that we spend billions of dollars on things that are not as essential bas preserving our country and our way of life, here.

We can take a step back from being the world police (America, fuck yeah!) and provide steps to save our economy

I posted the link to the solution I support
Time for govt to lead.
