Not quite fair: He said "I was asking it also," referring to the 'Why not ride it out?' question. Basically admits (briefly!) that he was one of those people. Agree he was too late changing his mind. https://t.co/rk9KmSVBWa

RCP's readers love this piece. But if Fauci's numbers turn out to be high, shutdown can always be relaxed (will be plenty of pressure). Doesn't work the other way around.//"Time for a Second Opinion" https://t.co/poZ9Zbq5UJ

The "beneath you" we do immediately. The "What's happened to you?" takes a little longer. https://t.co/MFLQbhP4pj

Seems like bad politics (and bad policy) in this emergency, even if you want to repeal Obamacare. I am ready to stand corrected. Health policy is Trump's central vulnerability, no? Why not put at least a bandaid on it. https://t.co/hYJirlHZNw

Happy to have Trump put on a daily CEO variety show. If he doesn't stay busy (and in public eye) he'll get restless and start talking about ending the shutdown early again. https://t.co/hQf7dgVQAt

Rationing appears to have started in London, at least informally. “In normal times we will give most people the benefit of the doubt. That has changed." '[F]or some patients [getting a ventilator] would not be in their best interests." https://t.co/3WEwRy4dSg

Why aren't TENTS in now-empty parking lots an obvious solution. 1) Cheap. 2) Ventilation 3) Could provide testing, treatment even if homeless wandered off 4) Flexible–beds could be spread out 5) Won't require sterilizing buildings 6) Neighbors less likely to revolt. https://t.co/FrUuuzQtcg

30 more days. Not so bad, right? I mean we've been doing this for weeks, right? But won't it become harder and harder, if virus is still spreading to more in the community (R0>1?)–making it more and more dangerous to go out at all (eg food shopping)?

"I want our country back. I want the world back." Trump had some good moments starting around 40 min into this (including passing up a chance to bash the media for not carrying these conferences) https://t.co/MyWxvjezRq

30 days is really a long time … for Trump to stay at home without doing something to upset the apple cart and call today's decision into question. Might have been better to go 15 days at a time?
