I have an internet connection. Beats the hell out of waiting for today's presser from anyone in DC.

Yea cause, you know everything on the internet is true.

Without the leading scientist in the US making a speech? How is that possible?

Only Trump letting the leading scientist speak can raise alert levels or inform about diseases...right?

Stock Market drop has nothing to do with Bernie Sanders.

Business Insider says: "The Trump administration has barred Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)"

NIAID says: ""This is not true," said a NIAID spokesperson of the report, in an emailed statement to Business Insider. "

...and Business Insider blathered right on like it was still true

The idea that the media is the cause of calamity in the world is justification for government controlled propaganda. Is that what you want, communist style propaganda?

As to the market - it is a pretty sensitive barometer of where things are headed. Investors can smell a disaster brewing like rats leaving a sinking ship. The market has been on a 10+ year rocket ship and it had to come back to earth eventually so this is not surprising.

Um.... the WHO is not a part of our Federal Government.

Trumps edict only applies to them.


States can also speak, and private businesses, they do not fall under the administrations control.

You're making up stuff.

And there's nothing lunatic about fulfilling FDRs "Second Bill of rights" and guarantee health care to every American. Its long overdue. If Canada can, then so can we.

Uh-huh.

Coronavirus has been around for months, growing steadily (outside the U.S.), and alarming in its own right.

But Bernie didn't become clearly the Democrat frontrunner until just the last week. And the stock market has been plunging for just the last week.

Nope, nope, obviously no connection.
