By the way guys, off topic, but I started watching this documentary on Netflix last night called Tiger King. It’s all about Joe Exotic and a few others that operate exotic animal parks. Holy #%^£! I knew that guy was insane but I had no idea, none. This documentary hooked me from the beginning and every 3 minutes I said “WTF?”

What actions has he taken that he can reverse other than the travel bans? That’s what I’m trying to figure out.

I think what he means is removing CDC guidelines for social distancing, working from home, not going to restaurants or stores.

Lots of businesses are basing their policy off of CDC recommendations. I think he is saying he is going to remove those recommendations.

If he does then every single person in the CDC and definitely Dr. Fauci, who is completely against this, need to resign.

The weird part is... I don't think its based on any change in the medical situation on the ground. It is purely based on the economy. In which case, you are correct, those people would need to resign if they felt the decision was going to cause mass death.

Trump saying he will open the economy back up by Easter. That is in 19 days.

Guess we will see what happens.

Trump has complied with everything that Dr. Fauci has recommended....according to Fauci himself. However, Dr. Fauci has mentioned that they do have spirited discussions and Trump asks a lot questions. But in the end, the Administration always sides with the scientists/experts on the task force. I think today was posturing and more of a pep talk for the market and business owners. If they decide to open businesses back up, I think it will be staggered (only some industries/businesses) and it probably won't happen for at least another 30 days. I could be wrong though.

I think it’s based on one person’s whim.

In many locales was this decision made by local authorities?

And yet again you allow rationale, logic, common sense and reason to take a giant step forward. Be fruitful and multiply like a rabbit.

Well, Laura Ingraham gave a direct order on Fox News that he needs to put a date on it. So he may have just been complying.

I believe in ALL it was made by local authorities. But like I said, many companies, mine included, based their decisions off CDC recommendations. Of course, those local authorities and local companies can make their own decision, but I think what Trump is trying to do is say "we no longer are asking you to do this".

That documentary you mentioned is on my list next. Right now, I'm finishing up the trials of Aaron Hernandez. It's really interesting how it delves into how his life went off of a cliff after his father died.

Also, I recommend Narcos Mexico, Mindhunter, and the Irishmen (movie).

I reffed & umpired about 20 times in Wynnewood & I heard very little about him. Of course the town people don’t talk to refs.
