Pathetic.
Every country is blaming Coronavirus, because its the cause.
Nobody in their right mind would deny this.

Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue calls coronavirus a 'pandemic'
3 days ago, Alex Azar, HHS Secretary, Alex Azar, in response to a question about the affordability of a vaccination, said:

“ We would want to ensure we work to make it affordable, but we can’t control that price because we need to private sector to invest....price controls won’t get us there”.

At CPAC yesterday, Mulvaney said:

“ Are we going to see some schools shut down? Probably.

May you see impact on public transportation? Sure, but we do this”


Limbaugh did not get the memo when earlier in the week he told his listening audience of 25 million, “ the Coronavirus is the common cold”.

Just because Bernie makes crazy claims during the campaign, doesnt mean anything...trump did the exact same thing, he has backpedaled on most of those now.


I predict, if Bernie wins, nothing much will change at all.

Ahh the OP got the talking points from the conservative media.

The market is being influenced by Bernie....lol.

This makes no sense but hang on to that theory -- it feeds the Trump fans.

Could be argued that it looks like Bernie is not going to win in South Carolina and the markets are reacting to that....WHAT?

Nope, nope, obviously no connection.
Last week our Pacific ports (Los Angeles, Long Beach, Seattle, etc.) announced very large drops in both inbound and outbound container traffic due to the coronavirus. "The head of the Port of Los Angeles, Gene Seroka, told CNBC that Port of LA - the nation's largest container port by TEU - expects a 25 percent fall in volume for February."

A 25% fall in container volume will have a large ripple effect in our economy, which is mostly reliant on consumer spending. This is one factor that has market analysts slashing earnings forecasts. The stock market has to mark down stock prices if earnings fall below expectations.

Bernie has nothing to do with the stock market decline, that's just fake news put out by Trump and his followers.

The virus has been common knowledge for 2 months.

How awkward for the Governor of California.... these Doctors don’t agree with his Hysterical claim of over 8,000 cases.

It’s an easy to read article with up to date information.
Tamp down the Hysteria and read what the experts say.
The Governor of California said “8400 people being MONITORED”.

Being monitored is not the same as being diagnosed. There is a shortage of test kits to diagnose those who may exhibit symptoms which are similar to common strains of flu.

You don't think Sonny got a call from The White House after that statement -- you haven't been paying attention.

The White House has been down playing the virus -- and I don't think necessarily down playing is the wrong message...but an appearance of healthy concern is good.

Pence is trying --- he really is trying.
