Recording doesn't make sense, it's most certainly missing a lot of context.

It talks about "experts signing" to supposedly end quarantine, but then talks about how the decision is made based on X-Rays.

The purpose of quarantine is to prevent infection. This has nothing to do with x-ray images. You can certainly have healed lungs but still be infectious. To date, the only criteria for recovery has been testing negative for the virus twice in a row, with 24 hours between the tests.

Since the subtitles are in traditional Chinese, I can only assume that some Taiwanese person/organization manipulated this recording to disseminate more anti-China propaganda.

It's not simply worry about the economy. It is worry about the stock market, a sector of the economy that disproportionately impacts the 1%. Rather than taking command of supply chains and production, they're printing money to help their friends in the stock market. Being concerned about the economy is fine if they mean being concerned about how physical goods will reach quarantined areas, but the leaders of the US are very obviously not doing that. But at least we learned that spending $1 trillion to make a number go up 1% for 20 minutes is sound economic policy.

Pause, pause, friends, please pause. The thread has just been re-opened. You wanna it to be closed again? Instead of discussing the virus, I see you are bashing/criticizing some politicians. This may backfire as some other members might not be happy with it and it will end up flame war.

Just another tactic by Trump to distract as usual. He wants people to talk about this instead of how he is handling the current chaotic situation.
