You will be left with not enough people to run said plant.
Guys this is simple, he thinks the bad economy will sink him, not COVID deaths. If killing more people will help the economy he is 100% on board. He also seems to realize he’s losing the election so he will take on greater and greater risk to the country to win because the downside doesn’t matter to him
I disagree. I think it is UNLIKELY that the economy can get back to where it was by the election but it isn’t impossible.What he doesn't realize is that there is no way to resurrect this economy in time for the election. We can end the restrictions today, everywhere, and the economy will still be a shambles in November. And to make matters worse, his own party is blocking further attempts at stimulus.

What I’m saying is from his perspective it doesn’t matter. If the economy doesn’t come back he loses and losing is indictment and death. Therefore he’s free to take every risk possible.
I'd be surprised if you can find an economist to back a projection that the economy experiences full recovery to pre-COVID January by then, given that the virus is not going away and will continue to depress consumer spending through voluntary fear-based social distancing. In fact, I doubt the economy would fully recover by then even if the virus went away today, because I've never seen nor heard of a recovery that fast.
I generally agree but something I saw today made a good point. The Q3 evaluation will be made 5 days before the election and after such an enormous contraction its likely to see a major rebound so we are likely to see ‘ECONOMIC EXPLOSION’ headlines despite the fact that the economy will be smaller than in March. We should consider that.
Don't discount the likelihood of a second wave being in full force by November. More likely this contraction seems like hiccup in comparison.
Shee-it. The first wave has only begun. We just put a flat spot on the curve, time shifted it into the future, which is now. The horrifying power of this pandemic will be on us rather shortly.
