Governors and mayors will maintain their stay-at-home policies and His Lardship can't change that. Withholding federal funds just writes a Democratic campaign ad. Fuck him.

No one is staying at home because "Trump said so" in the first place.

No serious company's insurer is going to tell that company it's okay to have the workers back, and no serious company's general counsel is going to advise that the company require people to come back.

severe in a week that a return to "normal", Trump's "All Clear", will be such a ridiculous idea that the current statements by Trump will be lost down the memory hole as fake reporting of events.

ignore the order, while a slight majority will obey it.

In states that just encourage social distancing, the same thing will happen.

In states like Mississippi, probably most things will start up again, but many people will still stay home.

I can't see him changing anything intil he feels it's safe.

His original order was for 30 days. He is really staying on top of the situation.

crisis is over when the facts and the math will plainly show that it's just getting started. For a split second everything will freeze, America will wait to exhale, as we wait to see what governors and mayors will do, but they will do the right thing and ignore Trump. I think even business leaders will take the side of medical professionals.

I'm going to be checking out the business channels like Bloomberg and CNBC to see how they handle what at first glance looks like a dilemma for them, but in reality isn't a dilemma at all, because my money is on them siding with the medical authorities and treating Trump's "orders" with derision.

Trump is finally coming up against a tidal wave of reality he can't contort or hide or otherwise spin.
