(1,713 posts)herd immunity pushes this virus through communities. I hate to be pessimistic but I don't think self isolation for any significant timeframe will work in America. People will become desperate and flee cities where infection rates are high. It will take about two cycles of no income and most Americans are done. Just wait. These people on tv self isolating in nice homes, working from home with thier private school kids playing in the back ground is not typical Americans.

(47,018 posts)No visuals, no rallies. No conventions. Trump is now visible, and it's reflected in the polls.
Elections mean change. How do you motivate while under a cloak of invisibility?

(47,018 posts)The reporters need to scream above the cheering, the candidates need to be hoarse from overwork. This will become an armchair campaign, or at least a webinar moment.

(147,606 posts)they will need to take place, regardless. They could happen in June, though, and still leave time for November ballot preparation.
I suspect some will happen on schedule, while others will be delayed. Some will probably make it easier for voters to participate by mail, as well.
