What do you think the author meant by that phraseology?
Trump did not "call for" ending lockdowns by Easter.
He meant (whatever the actual words were, which I'm FAR too lazy to look up right now) that it would be "GREAT" if that were to happen.
How does ANY media outlet have ANY credibility with ANYONE ANYMORE!?
I'd sooner believe the verbal musings of the possum that lives under the dead log down by the creek than I would the media or any politician.

I purposely ignore the insane Tourettes-syndrome, continuous verbal ejaculations from "Fish" but for this one I couldn't resist. A bit too fast on the draw, jumping in and criticizing everyone and everything, pathetically and hysterically trying to convince folks of his brilliant mind and relevance.
Anyway Fish, the author of that line,if you paid any attention before prematurely ejaculating all over yourself, was John Xenakis himself. Read the World View article then maybe the context will make sense, but somehow I doubt it.
Quite true! ..on the "not be likely to have any idea what's going on" point.John wrote:** 26-Mar-2020 World View: Coronavirus lockdowns
I've watched most of Trump's coronavirus press conferences. These
press conferences go on for one or two hours, and Trump answers
hundreds of questions. Often he answers the same question many times
the same day and on consecutive days. Trump said that he wants to
start putting the country back to work by Easter. Sometimes he used
different words, sometimes he hedged, but the intent was always
obvious. At today's press conference he said that people should start
going back to work in some parts of the country by Easter, and that he
would provide further guidelines on Monday. It was clear that he was
strongly urging this, though not ordering it. To say that "Trump
called for ending coronavirus lockdowns by Easter" is, in my opinion,
the best and most precise summary of all the different ways he
described his intent. Anyone who did not see the actual press
conferences, but instead depended on mainstream news media reports,
would not be likely to have any idea what's going on.

Actually, if I post anything, I post it as myself. That was not my posting (as should be obvious as I'm NEVER that concise! <chuckle!> ).John wrote:** 27-Mar-2020 World View: Fishing

The above was posted anonymously, but I assume it was from you.
Back in the 1980s, I joined one of the world's first online forums,
called "Participate on The Source." I was going through a very rough
time personally, and I became emotionally addicted to Participate, and
started attacking people irrationally. I hurt some people's feelings,
and got a number of people mad at me. Some of the things that I
posted could only be described in retrospect as near-psychopathic. I
began to realize that I must be going crazy, so I finally turned off
my modem once and for all. I was actually afraid to turn on my modem
again for any reason, for fear that just that just flipping the switch
to "on" would suck me back in. It was a long time before I was online
again.
So I have the feeling that you're going through something similar, but
with a difference that when I left it was permanent, but I hope your
leaving won't be permanent, as you'll be missed by me and a number of
others.
Please take some time off to evaluate, and then come back, when you'll
be welcome. In this crisis, we need all the friends we can get.
