As long as we assume the virus was not deliberately released by whatever country, it will never be relevant because there is no law against having an epidemic in one's territory. **** happens. It isn't the first pandemic and it certainly won't be the last.
It seems to be relevant to those prone to blame throwing.
He really believes if he declares it works it will.
okay...let's see in a week. So far no flattening of the curve.
As for you folks talking about just mortality rates. No -- it shouldn't be just about mortality rate.
Serious lung illnesses/respiratory illnesses leave scarring and mean that individual is less able to fight off illnesses.
This is not a flu bug with aches and pains...this is proving to be an attack on respiratory system that could have life time impact on quality of life, health costs, our population.
Trump will listen to the adviser who tells him what he wants to hear.
At first it was his son-in-law advising him on this, and when things started to get real, he turned to actual experts, with Jared out of the picture right now. Can you imagine it was Jared Kushner of all people first advising Trump on this issue?
Now that the experts are not telling him what he wants to hear, I expect them to be pushed out of the picture, and an adviser like Jared to step back in, telling Trump what he wants to hear.
Disney has seen losses for the movie studios too. Onward had an opening not seen since Pixar's first two films. Onward only made $39m it's opening weekend. Comparatively, the last standalone Pixar film was Coco made $50m on it's tradition weekend opening (it opened Thanksgiving weekend and I'm going by three day open.) Onward will only make 61m domestic while Coco did that in just Thanksgiving weekend. Covid-19 already effected movie going prior to the theaters closing. Furthermore, Disney pushed back releases of Mulan and Black Widow. Black Widow was tracking to make up to $1b worldwide. Now I think the tracking floor of 600-700m is the ceiling when it releases, if it releases into theaters.
ESPN is hurting as besides NFL free agency, they have no new programming. This goes for all sports stations. I think PBR is the only professional league I see still doing events. NBC Sports resorted to a NASCAR sponsored iRACING during their eight weekend pause. ESPN resorted to showing UFC marathons and WWE WrestleMania to break up the old sport games they show now. ABC is the only thing not really hurting since they have news coverage.
Safe to say Disney is eating a LOT of loses from Covid-19 and not just Parks and resorts.
So break up their business and sell things off rather than come looking for a handout if it's that dire. They've grown disturbingly large.
He really believes if he declares it works it will.
It's a typical business tactic to try to move the schedule to the left by incentivizing hastier measures and greater risk. On occasion it actually works. In this case it may kill people.
Do you have any proof of your claim that they let SARS escape 6 times, or even a single time?
Not my claim at all.
go google this and do some investigating yourself. I'm not going to spoon feed you.
There has only been ONE natural occurrence of SARS. All the rest have been lab escapes.
I'll give you a head start on your research:
