How much are they putting toward hospital beds, ventilators, test kits, and other measures to control the public health crisis before instead spending it on mitigating the impact on the economy and the stock market? I personally could use the cash, but it seems that the best thing for the economy in the long term is to control the pandemic in the short term.

To collapse the healthcare system and allow thousands more than necessary to fall seriously ill and/or die is enormously expensive in addition to being ethically unconscionable. Unless of course it's a cynical calculation of whether voters in November will remember how many ventilators were purchased vs. how big of a bribe/stimulus check they got from Uncle Sam.

Sorry if that sounds a little dark and paranoid, but every time I've thought "that's going too far" about this guy, that's exactly where he's gone. Hoping very much that I am wrong.
