We are starting to see the exponential explosion that we knew was coming. NYC is seeing it first, but it will start popping up everywhere. Given the density of the NJ-NY-CT I-95 corridor, it's not surprising that it should be a major epicenter. But all those idiots at Disney World are returning home with it and don't even know it. Clusters will explode all over the country, and because we lack testing we won't even see them coming.
Trump has said that they will reassess in 15 days. Most likely this is bullshit, but Trump's whole life has been skating away from unpleasant consequence, because he was born rich. I'm sure he thinks that he can skate through this, too. Meanwhile, he's getting dire reports from his health advisors, but he's also looking at the worst economy since 1933.
Trump does not care about you. And so, if he has to choose between keeping Americans safe by maintaining restrictive distancing and helping his re-election efforts, he will try and lift the distancing requirements. Of course, the federal government has done very little to help enforce this, as it has been state governments that have taken the lead.
If he does start to say that "things are under control," obviously don't listen to him. The Foxheads will, and that will have disastrous repercussions for all of us and simply prolong this.
April will, indeed, be the cruelest month.
