On: Covid-19 update and guidance to limit spread

Totally agree. Wife has a small business. She's lost $20k in contracts in 2ks. Gonna affect her 45 employees. She gets no sympathy, yet she has to pay the business expenses regardless, taxes, unemployment... Politics will turn people away.

Loans and tax breaks for small businesses are exactly one of the POLITICAL recommendations being considered right now.

If one party is against them, should experts (in this case economic) not weigh in?

The political discussion should happen separately from a brilliant piece of writing that has the ability to encourage many people to act in a way that will save lives.

Muddying that message with political and partisan discussion is not helpful. Your comments are not constructive to this discussion and the messaging around healthcare and artists is not constructive to the messaging in the document.

The fact that you cannot see that only highlights my point.

I'm against partisanship, as stated above.

But this idea of yours that by disagreeing with you, it means you're right, is absurd. If we agreed, would that mean you were wrong?
