    America needs a strong federal response for the public to see that their government has their backs. Trump telling everyone to "sit tight" while they work through their plan for this crisis won't calm anyone's fears and are only making things worse. If Trump wants the stock market to go up, he needs to roll out widespread testing, people want it now, they wanted it weeks ago damnit.

    1st responders are going to get overwhelmed. Reducing some of the regular non-virus related calls will help everyone.

    But also, different areas trying different things could help. There is no set playbook for this. Something like a curfew is even easier to stop than it is to start if it doesn't work.

    Trump was just asked by a reporter "On a scale of 1-10 how would you rate your performance in responding to the COVID19 crisis".

    Trump said, "A 10."




    Anyone surprised?

    At some point we have to think about what dangers there are and how many lives will be cut short by social isolation, halting the economy, and all of that. Yeah the virus is deadly and should be taken seriously, but many people are going to die because their caretakers stopped showing up, they couldn't get necessities, couldn't afford basic medical supplies (maybe couldn't even find it because of "preppers" and "hoarders"). Were not just opening the can of worms, were basically hitting it with an m80 and just seeing where the parts fall.

    Then the long term ramifications of an economic collapse as well, yeah there are rich people who abuse the economy to make millions, but when the working class and poor basically can't afford to eat, people will die.

    he thought he'd boost the economy by shuttling out CEOs from a bunch of companies right before market close on Friday. those gains immediately after were quite short lived.

    However, the way the money is dispersed with middle agents and pork barrel political tactics injected into the process, expect us to get ripped off and millions more lining the swindlers' pockets.

    Why is it the wrong decision to withhold test kits?

    Simple question.

    I'd really hate to see a real crisis hit this country. You people are insane.

    You all should tune into what NJ Governor Phil Murphy did. He called a State of Emergency and presented a Leaders role, with his cabinet people presenting facts. He will implement more stringent steps but he is candid and real. At least, no BS like we see from the Donald.

    Restaurants and bars are closed, schools shut down, colleges on lockdown, most companies have employees working from home, travel is nonexistent, economy tanking, people falling sick, the elderly dying.

    wtf more do you want? Open your fucking eyes and stop looking down your nose at what is now a crisis ONLY because people like you and our orange fat fuck dear leader doesn't believe science and cares about nothing but his own re-election.
