>Democrats don't want to reopen too fast because keeping the economy shut down is bad for Trump's reelection chances.
That's basically a conspiracy theory because the Democrats would need to coordinate this political stand and also conspire with medical health advisors. Unless you claim that every democrat has come to this conclusion by themselves.
- gnicholas 6y agoI can't speak for the medical health advisors or their motivations. I think it would be very scary to be one of the medical folks in charge, and if I were them I would probably err on the side of medical caution. It is not their job, nor is it their expertise, to weigh medical costs against economic costs. I don't know that Dems would all have to reach this result on their own — it's pretty clear that the Democratic party line right now (and since the beginning) has been "lock it down". Once that was established, it would have taken quite a bit of courage of convictions for a Democrat to have come out in favor of opening.
