I have read where 50% of people who get this virus will have NO symptoms, and then be immune for the rest of their lives.
The entire reason they are shutting down our economy is to slow the natural process of getting this virus. Their logic is to slow the pace of infection in order to prevent a one time burden on our hospitals. So rather than having too many sick people in our Hospitals, they have decided to collapse our economy, create huge job losses, even though the virus has very little affect on the vast majority of people. It is only a danger to sickly elderly people.
This is no different then the Flue which is also harder on the elderly. Yes, we have yet to get a vaccine, and this is why we must do all we can do to protect the elderly. Shutting down schools, restaurants, sporting events and everything else is going too far in my humble opinion.
I would have sooner seen our nation educate everyone on how to best protect the elderly from getting the infection, rather than shutting down our entire way of life.
If we were going to ban anything, it should have been banning older sicker people from going to sporting events, because they are the only one's at risk. We could have told older people to stay at home and we would bring them their food and other necessities. Shutting down our economy is ludicrous because sooner or later, we will probably all get this virus. I understand the logic, but it is going too far.
I believe this is only happening through peer pressure and the fears of businesses being blamed for not following the crowd. This is another form of political correctness.
I'll bet more people die from the Flue or losing their jobs then from this virus. How come we never did this with all the other past outbreaks? How did we survive?

There is this negativity bias: we would much rather not do anything, than do something that has an equal chance to give us X value or take X value away from us. Same here: when there is a tiny bit of danger in our perception, it tends to completely obscure our judgement of reality and make us blow the danger out of proportion.
Consider this common scenario: asking a girl out.
Likely worst case scenario: she just says "No". Nothing changes, life goes on.
Likely best case scenario: she says "Yes". Life is awesome.
Yet so many people will not make a move, because, hey, what if, when she says "No", there is someone nearby who overhears it? And what if that someone then starts telling everyone else about it? What if, as a result, my friends and colleagues learn about it? What if they mock me over it? My reputation will be destroyed! No, better go back to my comfortable shell and do nothing.
It is the same here. Chances of getting really harmed by the virus for any given individual are almost 0. You can literally walk into a room full of people contaminated by this virus, give them all long hugs and kiss in the lips those of them who you are attracted to - and the chances that something terrible will happen to you are smaller than the chances that the next time you take a left turn at an intersection, some other car runs into you and hospitalises you.
The good thing is, people in such cases start behaving irrationally in many other ways as well, and savvy enough people can exploit that. If my visa allowed me to sell things for profit, I would be earning a fortune right now on reselling people the goodies they think are going to protect them from the virus. There is always a good side to everything!

the TL;DR is that the virus was the spark, but it didn't set up the conditions necessary for the fire.
The federal reserve has been keeping interest rates very low, (recently dropping them to 0) so that more investors are willing to take out loans to try and boost the economy. This has lead to a scenario where the Stock market has reached all time highs due to inflation of prices and over leveraging of accounts.
The yield curve inverted in 2019, which almost always happens right before a recession.
Stars formed, planets coalesced, and on at least one of them life took root.
Through a long process of evolution this life developed into the human race.
Humans conquered fire, built complex societies and advanced technology .
All of that so we can argue about nothing.

Yes, this will set a very dangerous precident whereby Government will take credit for this virus running it's normal course, and embolden them to take more control of our lives.
Trump was elected to prevent this big government takeover of our lives. He is now forced to deal with all the hysteria of businesses and sporting events shutting down.

So where in my post did I say it was Trumps fault? I have just made a strong argument it WASN'T TRUMPS FAULT, but rather market conditions guaranteed it would happen regardless of any action by Trump.

No one needs to organize huge Trump rallies. The people love him and they come to see him. When you look at Democrat rallies, you see very small turn outs. There is a reason for this. Trump is the first President not beholden to any powers to be. He is his own man and fight's against the swamp. This is why the swamp hates him so much.

Is that why during his presidency the US had almost all the international corruption scores increased for it? Does not sound like fighting against the swamp to me, especially given how Trump has replaced virtually all people on leading positions in the executive branch with his friends or acquaintances - compare it to Bush or Obama who had a lot of people there actually from the parties opposing them.
As for the rally sizes, it does seem like Trump's rally sizes are bigger overall; Democrats only assemble large rallies on major events, while Trump manages large ones wherever he goes. But Trump is also a master marketer, who has been in a very competitive business for 40 years; where does the genuine love ends and the induced one begins? Is this even a valid question? Something to ponder on.

Let's see, after Hoover, FDR had to step things up, Nixon left U.S. with a dip, Reagan had a big one in 87-88, after Bush it was "the economy, !" Another rebuild and … wonder of wonders … a balanced budget and a surplus! Next was the other Bush and a catastrophic mess, another rebuild ... left for Trump which he is tearing down … same old, same old …. Now some want to blame it on a virus?? One that very likely would have been much less of a catastrophe if the Orangutan hadn't thrown out several "protections" the previous (actual) President had put in place!
If we only had as many test kits as we've had lies ….. we'd have 18,000 MORE, which would be a help, at least.
