Congress declares war. Think WWII.
Edit. Thanks to the wonders of HC I can’t reply to you so I have edited this post. The declaration of war is symbolic in one way, but it captures what needs to be done. The entire economy needs to be swung around to getting this pandemic under control as quickly as possible.
Once war is declared we can start conscripting people to do the things that need to be done like enforce curfews, do door to door testing, build hospitals, keep people fed, etc, etc.
We are going to end up at this point anyway, so we might as well do it now and save lives and the economy.
- quartzite 7y agoHard to have a war economy when winning the war means shutting your economy down.
- maxerickson 7y agoSo the sarcastic response to that is: What does that even mean? What I tried and failed to get at in my other comment is that massive resources are already being marshaled to produce more tests and find treatments and find a vaccine and so on. Federal leadership appears to be…poor, but that isn't stopping people from stepping forward. So when you step past the slogan, what does Congress write in their declaration?
- ccktlmazeltov 7y agoBTW France declared war officially.
- doingmyting 7y agoI wonder if they'll actually fight this time
