The "cure is worse than the disease" folks are missing one extremely critical point. Without extreme measures the hospitals WILL BE OVERWHELMED within weeks. States like New York, California and Illinois are already doing what should be done nationally to try and stop this. And when the hospitals are overwhelmed with sick and dying the economy will be in far worse shape.

Again, this is NOT a political issue! Here is what two prominent REPUBLICANS are saying as they urge trump NOT to "back off aggressive containment policies within the United States."

"There is no functioning economy unless we control the virus...When it comes to how to fight #CoronavirusPandemic, I’m making my decisions based on healthcare professionals like Dr. Fauci and others, not political punditry" - Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.

"There will be no normally functioning economy if our hospitals are overwhelmed and thousands of Americans of all ages, including our doctors and nurses, lay dying because we have failed to do what’s necessary to stop the virus" - Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wy.
