This is unprecedented. Entering a Bear Market (loss of 20% of stock value) in just 10 days where in the 2008 crash it took 200+ days and all over 116 Coronavirus deaths, 95% of which are among the elderly??????

Corona may be serious but to bring an entire economy down over 116 deaths in over a 1-month period is the definition of insanity IMHO. When this things starts to die out by summer the US economy will be in shambles at this rate. We will learn that Trump was right all along--it was the most gigantic hoax ever perpetrated on the US people.

We already know Trump was wrong. This is a very big deal. You can continue to pretend otherwise, but the world at large disagrees with you. I was just on a conference call this morning with some market analysts and believe me, they are not seeing this as "just some old people dying." Get out of your echo chamber and get a clue as to what's happening around the globe right now.

Imagine what will happen when the left discovers 50,000 people die every year from the common flu.

You heard it here first! "The death rate will NOT hit 1000 by the end of April."

Imagine what will happen when the right discovers this is much deadlier and spreads much faster than the common flu.

Oh, wait, I doubt Fox will tell them that, so they likely will never know. You can't educated those determined to remain stupid.

Yes, it's frightening to think that our scientists and public health experts, and most of the American people, are trying to head off a deadly pandemic. How awful. It's terrible that some people care about others and want to do the responsible thing.

If Trump has a better way than what he is doing now, why doesn't he do it? Why is he falling for the hoax as you say?

Let's hope. The whole point of shutting everything down, is to minimize the number of deaths.

You know what the world is saying by what the media says right? The world is hoarding toilet paper. That about says it all where the group mind is and what it thinks. Who care about your conference call. You obviously know nothing about virus or statistics.

The virus will runs it course and there is nothing anyone can do. It is hype and will continue. Your echo chamber is a great deal worse than the one you recommend to get out of. Now go buy some more toilet paper and be quick about it.
