for the TDS-afflicted, perhaps. there are thousands upon thousands of posts in the current events thread demonstrating it's incredibly easy.

When was the very first death reported in the US and a week later what was the total death count?

Okay. So lets let millions more infected people enter the control unchecked and whom may potentially have a virus.

Big 3, GM, Chrysler and Ford have joined Honda and shut down all plants.

Reportedly, Honda continues to pay their workers. I DK the status of the others.

Ohio closing all but 5 BMVs because they are deemed "essential" at end of business today. You only need to renew for CDL. Regular licensing online. Basically if you get pulled over with an expired license and it's due to the coronavirus it's fine.

All barbers, hair dressers, tattoo parlors to be closed at the end of the day.

Libraries not forcibly being closed. Up to each individual branch.

All businesses remaining open being asked to take temperature of each employee as they come in for work.

From 1 to 19.

Its too early to tell though, because the initial cases can be very different. For example most of the initial cases might have been younger in America.

Lets be real: China lied people died!!

China covered up this virus for nearly 3 months before it got so out of control, they couldn't control the spread of the virus and information of the virus. And during that time they silenced doctors, journalist, citizens and lately the Chinese tycoon; whom either leaked info, criticized the CCP or simply spoke about the virus in the early stages. China caused this issue and this is EXACTLY what they went; not to take the blame.

This is truly pathetic that figures on the left would start such a trend but its also not surprising. They'll do and stop at nothing to deface Trumps reputation. If he's trying not to worry the public "He's lying and people are dying!" but if he tells the truth and blames China "Wow, what a racist! And look at him fear mongering!". You can't win with these people, you can't win.
What a shame that Trump didn't spend those two months when we knew what was coming to order and dissiminate test kits and start to prepare the nation for what was heading our way. Instead, we got lie after lie after lie about how he had this under control, that this was no big deal, and that this was all just magically going to go away.

How many stupid Trumpsters listened to and believed the president when he told those lies? How many didn't heed the experts' warnings because of it? Trump definitely will have blood on his hands because of that. That's a fact.

We know what was NOT the best course of action: sticking your head in the sand and downplaying the severity of the threat. That was 100% counterproductive. We should all be able to agree on that.

TDS has has never stooped to a lower level. People are dying, frightened, out of work, can’t pay their rent and mortgages and stressing about this very serious epidemic and these bottom feeders knock Trump on his CV decisions while this virus hit us like an atomic bomb and it takes time to get real info and plan and get the info and plan out and with this virus plans change daily.

It’s one thing hating or hammering Trump for decisions outside of this virus. Only a complete jackazz would hammer any admin for doing the best they can with what they have at a time like this.

Disgusting pigs. You know who you are.

I said this in a different thread, but we're going to get the worst jobs reports we've ever seen in our lifetime. I'm thinking 500K jobs lost this month and 1 million in April. The global economy is collapsing on itself in a span of days.
