Uh huh. Because the way he should be judged is based on whether his wife has it and not whether his administration had a plan to tackle a pandemic years in advance.

Hillary Clinton devoted a whole chapter of her book to pandemics. Too bad Trump didn't read it.

Who would read the book of a loser who only got where she was because of who she married?

Looks like the US will be the first country to take the 100k mark later today.

Are you sure it's not going to go to 0 soon? That's what Trump said.

It is when there is a self-serving lifelong thief and racketeer in The White House. And btw..why isn't your standard bearer not initiating The Defense Production Act? That is what it is called you know, but I guess your standard bearer lacks the patriotism you speak of.

This crisis is particularly hard for economies which have a large front-office service industry.
Here in Portugal tourism for instance has collapsed completely, a disaster for the whole country. The irresponsible dependence on that cheap industry comes back like a boomerang.

In the USA its cheap credit that most people are addicted to. They leverage themselves out to the max and have almost no wiggle room if their income stream runs into trouble. No saving but a ton of debt.

His wife got it traveling to UK. UK related positives got some heavy hitters: Prince Charles, Prime Minister Boris Johnson, his health secretary Matt Hancock and UK Chief Medical Officer Chris Whittey. Plus the wife of Canadian PM Trudeau.

Trudeau was wise to immediately go into isolation.

A week ago the U.S. had 206 CV-related deaths. Today we stand at 1,477 deaths and counting.

Imagine the fatalities if we "re-open" the country.
