#2 Christie...another 'gem'. That beached whale pops up when you least expect it. But, having said that, he's probably correct here.

#3 He is indeed right.

We will have to find a way to live with this thing and get on with our lives, resume trade and commerce and social mixing again, even as we redouble efforts to protect the elderly.

#4 False assumption. Not clear that more deaths would follow. Medical facilities have not been overwhelmed, and they are not going to be. That plus better treatment protocols means fewer, not more deaths.

#6 And if you end 55mph speed limit (established because of the oil embargo) then more people will die on the highway. So lets move the goal posts but not based upon why they were put there in the first place.

#7 Politician-speak. He will be FOR it until something "bad" happens and then he will be AGAINST it because we "did it wrong".
