Originally I was in the #COVID19 is "just the flu" camp. I thought the economy should stay open. Then was like, okay, maybe it is a dangerous pandemic. Now I feel stupid for changing my mind. Seems like it& #39;s been blown out of proportion.

We don& #39;t go from "the next two weeks are going to be ugly," to, curve flattened on Monday now let& #39;s talk about starting the economy up Tuesday. I& #39;m not a conspiracy theorist, but something is off. This was sensationalized for some reason. #COVID19

And I& #39;m talking like it& #39;s past tense because supposedly the worst is behind us, going by the numbers provided. Great, but it wasn& #39;t mitigation efforts. I just don& #39;t think it was that dangerous. There was a reason beyond the virus to create the panic. #COVID19

It could be to get the FED to make QEing moves they wouldn& #39;t have made otherwise, or a setup for the election; Trump has pretty much won another term because of the virus. Or something else entirely. #COVID19

I guess we& #39;ll see. However, seems like a big nothing, where the damage done is self inflicted, but even that damage will be repaired in a couple months apparently. #COVID19

Maybe my perspective is skewed. But when it goes from doomsday to rainbows in a single weekend (last wknd), that& #39;s weird. So maybe this thread is way off base but the turnaround seems too fast to me. Maybe that will end up being the error, but this timing seems off. #COVID19
