The northeast region of the United States is essentially going to shutdown. I would expect this will be the entire country in the next week or two.

Crazy.

Oh yeah, I remember when guys who were alcoholics would not be able to drink alcohol for 6 months at a time. After which time, they'd have just one near-beer and swear up and down that they felt drunk. They'd also start slurring their words and stumble around. Pure psychological, think hard enough and you can come down with symptoms to just about anything. Until she actually gets tested and pops positive for the virus, chalk it up as such.

Clearly trading on insider information.

Let's see if the SEC does anything.

One question, why is the press conference immune to social distancing guidelines? Why do they expect anyone let alone the stupid spring breakers do it if they don't?

Some people have this notion that "it won't happen to me".

And that is a lot of Americans these days.
"Denial" is the first stage.

If SARS didn't move across continents, it wasn't a pandemic. That is the WHO definition of a pandemic.

Love how he is making clear the buck stops with him and he takes full responsibility for his actions and doing everything he can do to reduce the spread.
This is actually a good interview with Craig Fugate, just ignore the last part.

He makes the point the Power is really with the 50 State Governors and the Fed is just there to support and help provide resources.

Hmmm, I thought "Denial" was a river in Utah...

So far so good today for Trump's news conference. He said the dems and repubs need to work together, and he called out NY & CA governors Newsome & Cuomo by name, his political rivals, and congratulated them on doing a great job so far.

Keep this up, Mr President. America needs you to be apolitical/nonpartisan right now

Can you name (and back up) even one incident of someone's door being welded shut?

Or did you just "hear it on the internet"? Or make it up yourself?
