The Washington Post recently touted "an alarming new scientific model" that warns that treating COVID-19 like a somewhat more severe strain of flu won't cut it. The model predicts over a million U.S fatalities unless we shut down all non-essential mingling until a vaccine is developed, "which could take 12 to 18 months at best."
Pretty bleak stuff. In fact, that's about the bleakest take on COVID-19 you'll find.
Let's run with it.
Let's momentarily not raise a fuss about having no reason to trust the model's underlying algorithm or whatever unknown assumptions about the virus generated its scary predictions.

During the Fox News virtual coronavirus town hall meeting with President Trump and the White House Task Force on March 24, 2020, President Trump told Bill Hemmer that a group of medical professionals came into the Oval Office and told him that he had to shut down the country. Considering the varied and numerous efforts by the mainstream media, meticulously identified in this article, as well as the unrelenting efforts of leftist politicians, to destroy President Trump, and the author’s skepticism of whether or not a government shutdown was really necessary based on the “alarming COVID-19 scientific model,” it may not be unreasonable to reflect on the assignment James Comey was given to inform President-elect Donald Trump of the Russian “golden showers” rumor. The question becomes, was shutting down the country due to COVID-19 a legitimate concern, or might it have been an attempt to “economically” destroy President Trump before the November 3, 2020 presidential election.

I'm a dyed in the wool conspiracy theorist for most political things. Now granted there are sick people and many have died and that's always heartbreaking. However, we know Bill Gates and his cohorts met in November to discuss Corona virus. Now if I wanted to stop Trump and so far nothing else has worked, why a virus, less lethal than regular flu but we won't tell anyone, what better way to stop those rallies, shut down the economy and make Trump look like a fool. It didn't work because they all still underestimate Trump but this is what I think has happened. All they did was increase respect for our president. (Hope this isn't over 100 words.)

I agree with #2. It was their third attempt at taking out President Trump. Instead he turned it all on their heads by using the crisis to cut through their precious red tape. He treated our industry and corporations like Americans and enlisted their assistance. He put the MAGA agenda into action and proved that it works, bringing with it solutions to problems in a timely way. No dithering, but a constant movement forward. Nancy Pelosi's "business as usual" delay didn't last 8 hours.
The Trump Train has left the station and the Dims are standing on the platform arguing about who was supposed to buy the tickets.

I've been out of IT for five years, but I'm pretty sure I could create a "model" that would have at least ten million deaths. And an earthquake.

I have come to the conclusion that there are two parts to the corona virus story and they need to be separated. The medical part requires increased research on finding viable drugs to combat a real disease. This will cost a few billion dollars, maybe. The political part that has been used as a tool against Trump and any conservative that might be in the way is a real war that must be resisted. So far that part has justified about 6 TRILLION dollars in appropriated spending and has been used to stall a vibrant and blossoming economy and put millions of people out of a job. The lesson here is that democrats and the leftist media will stop at nothing to damage our President.

All great posts when you consider how easy it is to manipulate this entire panic as the left utilizes their media army to spread panic, fear and disinformation. The media goes all in immediately due to their inflated egos and lethargy. It's akin to a hurricane, flood or wildfire. Stand in front of a camera wearing a disaster costume and it gets repeated to every TV, instantly and of course, blaming it on the Republican president makes it worth it as you head to early happy hour.

Can we come up with a solution where only Democrats suffer the direct results of globalist, open-boards, taxcode healthcare thinking?

They're actually bumbling this so badly, the test run may come back with very poor results, forcing a halt on the one world government takeover. President Trump is killing the game, so no worries there.
