Might have something to do with not worshipping the opinion of a complete moron President. I imagine the Republicans would be handling a lot of it better were they not following Trump's every whim so easily.

They have no choice but to do as The Donald says. He gets pissy and all of a sudden the MAGAForce is leading a primary mob against them. :rofl:

Considering how much praise Governors Cuomo of New York, Murphy of New Jersey, and Newsom of California are getting compared to everyone else, I'm starting to believe that "responds will to viruses" is part of the Democratic party line.

Considering that I've heard two of those praise Trump's handling of the virus i'm inclined to believe making it a partisan issue is a shitty thing to do.

Aren't you like, what, two weeks behind on things? Or do you think that because they praised him once they'll never utter a critical word of Trump ever again?

“The president said it's a war ... then act like it,” Cuomo said, raising his voice during a morning news conference at the Javits Center in Manhattan. “They’re doing the supplies? Here’s my question: Where are they?”
If more ventilators aren’t sent within weeks, Cuomo told the feds, “You pick the 26,000 people who are going to die.”

Muh praise!

I'll wait for next month's figures before trying to extrapolate. But I'm inclined to agree, whatever else happens in the economy this unemployment spike is probably a one-off.

It's maybe an upside of something that usually I dislike, which is how easy it is for employers to lay off workers in the US. Those businesses who know they'll have to lay off workers sooner or later, do it right away.
