Look at this new cases report

On the right hand, it shows total cases / per million population

If you are a traveler in Europe, better watch out, the chance you get the virus is sky high.

They are actually testing people there. I fear our numbers are at least as bad or worse but we can't even determine that at this point. I don't believe our cases per million are 5. We have two NBA players out of what, 400 in the league?

NY Attorney General Orders Alex Jones To Stop Peddling Fake Coronavirus Treatments

.
FTC and FDA ordered Jim Bakker to cease marketing and selling snake oil cure for the virus.

Alex Jones was primarily focused on promoting his survival food packages.

I think we probably have more cases, but our situation is slightly different. we have had strict travel ban, they did not. Italy is the worst in my opinion, no social distancing, no travel ban, no enough test, (no, they didn't test enough people at the very beginning), no nothing.

My uncle said in his hospital, so far so okay, but the situation could change over night, nobody knows. He said there is no use to panic, each community is different. We all need to practice social distancing. He is an emergency room doctor and said if anybody choose to travel for fun right now, he/she must be an idiot.

Except that sneezing is not a symptom of coronavirus.

Default Coronavirus and the death of Globalism and the open border mentality

The right wing populist parties have been warning of the dangers of open borders. Strong border security candidates should do very well come election time.

Terrible News

Trump is making another televised speech on coronavirus at 3.

The last time he spoke, the Dow tanked 2,000 points the next day.

Doesn't matter...it's the fear.

And with spring comes allergies and the fear will only increase.

He is going to announce that a new test is being approved by the FDA and take credit for it. Take it to the bank.

Hard- pressed to imagine testing costs $1331.

There is no question public insurance will cover it.

There is no question private insurers will cover it, given it is now a part of the Essential Healthcare benefit within the ACA framework.

Public and private insurance will not be paying retail.

The 20 million without insurance are the issue, no?

Covering the cost is a part of the House Bill, subject to a House, then Senate vote and Trump approval.

He will be taking credit for the work Pelosi has done in getting sick leave and financial relief for working Americans.
