I hope it works out for you. I have a web site to sell my photography. I expect my views to go up, but my sales to go down.

Any mail order business sale will go down. Maybe it is the time to set up a youtube channel, teaching people something and get some ad revenue, More cash in your pocket. Maybe teaching people how to be a photographer.

I am lucky that I don't have a financial concern, at least.

The good news is that after this pandemic is over, and it will be over, (3 month, 6 month?) people will buy again.

If I get quarantined, I decide to record my daily life and post them on youtube. LOL at least make some money this way.

Trump told state governors in the conference call today that they are on their own when it comes to getting needed medical equipment. Don't wait for the feds. Translation: there is no equipment held by the US. That seemed pretty obvious when pharma lobbyist Azar dodged the question on how many masks we had because "it was a national security secret".

Several members of Trump's Coronavirus Task Force have said in briefings that we need to set aside partisanship and stop the political bickering.

Donald Trump moments ago, takes a jab at NY Governor Cuomo, someone Trump hates.

For some reason, Fema does have 10s of thousands of rubber vaults/caskets readily available.

The number can be very misleading.
At the same time a low median age of a country means that the virus will be more widely spread because children are super distributors without knowing it.

Many African countries have a median age between 15 and 20 years, which should make them less vulnerable. Then again, due to poverty in every way, many of those young people are not overly healthy to begin with.

No national response. We are absolutely f'ed on this because Trump is a total potato. We are careening toward "worst case scenario" numbers and Trump is using his time on the phone with the Governors of this country to do his best Baghdad Bob impression while valuable time ticks away.

The Times reported that Trump used most of his conference call with governors to paint a rosy picture of the disease, which contradicts what scientists and public-health experts have said.

"We're going to get it remedied and hopefully very quickly," the president said. "We broke down a system that was broken, very badly broken," he added, and said his administration would create a new system that "is going to be the talk of the world."

"Respirators, ventilators, all of the equipment — try getting it yourselves," Trump told the governors during a phone call, The New York Times reported. "We will be backing you, but try getting it yourselves.
Not exactly the same as saying they are on their own.

I really wish he didnt always feel the need to hit back, at least not right away. Believe it or not, I understand some of your guys complaints. Hope you all can reciprocate.

We've seen the symptoms for 3 1/2 years now. Many psychiatrists have made their conclusions. Supporters have looked the other way. Now it could cost you your life.
