With the COVID crisis, the worst-case scenario has often proven too optimistic. But here it is, for what it’s worth: The loosening up of restrictions that President Don- ald Trump is now advocating, along with his GOP politician bootlickers and his jackboot demonstrators, would slightly dampen the economic pain but at the same time reignite the coronavirus disease, which would come roaring back with a vengeance. What Trump and his lackeys are demanding would lower the defenses that have provided some effective barri- ers and push the country into an irreversible spiral.
