Indeed, the “cure” (large-scale sending people back to work) can be (much) worse than the “problem” (T’s narrowly perceived self-centered problem of selfish political self-survival in November election).
Endangering personal health and those of others as well as risk of dying by sending people back to work in highly dangerous contexts (i.e., “cure”) are worse risks than not dying (‘the Trump problem’ of current closures, isolation policies).
Trump is right; he is a wartime president. He is at war with the medical establishment and their wisdom and is against what’s best for America and its people, by and large.
