    Bold move.

    A very political move. Will either cost him or win him the election in November, depending on what happens.

    What Trump really means.....I'm gonna lose loads of my money and I can afford to step back and retreat to my mansion. You work for me, if you die I replace you with another disposable pleb. So get to work and keep me rich, remember you're lucky to be alive (for the time being).

    Some of the gun-toting rednecked yokels over there will be cheering his every word while gasping for air on a ventilator.

    I do follow US politics and my take on it .... One guy absent on the podium when the remark was made was a guy called Dr fauci who is the US s main medical advisor . It was just a trump/pence opinion so I would not read too much into it . More of a red meat to the masses gesture a little like calling Corona " Chinese virus " . Dr faucis opinion on it ? Not much but I doubt he d agree .

    Trump is using his daily press conferences as a rally for his "troops". Far too many of them arguing to let the pensioners just die so the young can carry on working.

    The UK was isolated from covid-19 for around 1 million years. We then had one person come from abroad with it and it spread withing ah few months.
    What makes people think that a few weeks isolation will mean it doesn't just instantly come back? Unless we plan on bricking up the tunnel, putting machine guns along the coastline and ripping up runways how can we possibly stop it from returning? We cant

    I can't tell whether you're being purposely ignorant.
    No one is suggesting that stopping moving for a few weeks will eradicate this virus. We're trying to slow it down so that the NHS can cope and the more we slow it the fewer will die.

    He is right that we will see a rise in people taking their own lives and it will be the same all around the world as people get crippled with anxiety. Stories like the two above will become more of the norm. We are right to be in lockdown and I suspect it will be extended even longer. But there should be more help out there for people with bad mental health who will be struggling more than usual because the routines that help them cannot happen.

    you flatten the curve until a vaccine can be developed. This may take up to 18 months. If you don’t it isn’t an exaggeration to say millions will die in the UK as the NHS, desperately underfunded for years, will collapse.

    Ultimately what Trump is saying is Darwinism is totally linked to the financial markets. The rich only see things by way of monetary value rather than societal value. If he thinks suicides and riots won't happen if he puts the markets first then he's deluded. Many of his followers believe in armed insurrection against any government which will do them harm. Can't see this playing well in the Southern states when folk start dying because they haven't got the medical cover to be treated but are expected to work and pay government taxes whilst billionaires are already in receipt of a massive tax break and will be holed in a gated community.

    If that person is put into quarantine on entering the UK (like they are doing in China now), and all the airport/immigration staff have appropriate infection controls in place, who can that person infect?

    It might not need a virus to be developed. A vaccine would be enough surely :)

    Although the short term best hope is an effective treatment regime - or the virus mutates into something harmless.
