and people isolating which is the whole purpose now and of course it will save lives. The results will be what you say but people are going to need to get back out there and business are going to have to start getting busy and making money again. Hence not wanting it to last into Nov.

I mean, you are not suggesting shut downs, borders closed people staying home thru to Nov, right?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
