The banks get to borrow interest free money from the fed and turn around and loan it to Americans for 30%. Shysters and Criminals.

No they as an adult borrowed the money knowing it had to be paid back.

Great life lesson. I've paid back every loan I've borrowed. They can do the same.

The stores will be restocked.

Whatever happened to the good old days when everyone had a 3" thick phone book lying around?

I think we will see first medicines arriving in June 2020.
I agree about the new anti viral meds. Tamiflu was developed rapidly. At least you have an ocean breeze to clean the air somewhat.

Just give them a bail out.
We have been bailing out the bankers since 2008.

The purpose of the cut in rates is to help ensure that banks have enough reserves to bolster the national payments system, and international payments based in USD.

But I would not write that in this the Political Theater and Other Cheap Entertainment Forum, and I would not write that even in the Economics forum, because even there very few would understand it.

Good Luck!

Fauci is a master politician lol. How do you think he has survived so many presidents?

He is the guy you turn to when you cant get your 90 year old dad to turn over the car keys even when he's a hazard on the road.

It's going to be a shutdown of some length whether its 14 days or 30 days ……...Dr's orders.

Your freedoms are being taken away from you, people!
Right on!

Gov. Gavin Newsom called Sunday for all senior citizens and residents with chronic conditions to isolate themselves at home, as well as for all bars, wineries and brewpubs to close, launching the state's most sweeping effort yet to slow the spread of coronavirus.

No other state has imposed such restrictions on residents age 65 and older. Newsom said his orders do not come with enforcement but that he expects residents and counties to follow his protocols.
Wait a minute, why are seniors (like me) all of a sudden a major vector for spreading CV? It's the millenials not the boomers, who are at fault.
