Its gonna be several months at least before everything can be opened up? At the state and federal level they just keep postponing every deadline set. I'm sure most have figured this out already

Because Trump cares more about reelection and his wallet than American lives. If he were to announce that, it'd hurt the market. I fully expect the idiot to open things back up way too early.

If he keeps everything shut down the ensuing economic depression will be blamed on Trump also. It's a lose-lose for his election status. If he cared about the people he would do what keeps the American people safe.

Yup. By placating the general populace we avoid panic and chaos. Though from the looks of things, I'd also question anyone that believes things will get better in the short time we are being led to believe. It's a fucking ghost town out there.
