    I caught a few minutes of KingTV news and they are blaming the Wuhan virus (I am a racist) for the market collapse and never even mentioned that oil dropped over 25% yesterday.

    The media is feeding the frenzy, methinks they are taking a chance in laying the ground work to over throw the king

    Hysteria

    Did you see the video of parents spraying their kids down with Lysol because someone at the school had the virus? We have a few of our own hysterics on this board.

    I don't think a payroll tax cut is a bad idea per say. It's never wrong to give American consumers more spending power to buy shit during times of economic hardship. My concern, is how to tackle the social distancing issue. Travel and hospitality are getting devastated right now. The "abundance of caution" could end up wrecking far more people's lives than the virus itself. Imagine being @PurpleBaze trying to make a living driving Uber this summer in Seattle.

    Some of us called that an irrational panic fueled for political gain.

    Others are mad at Trump for not joining in

    There's no mutual exclusivity here. One can think it's an irrational panic and argue that Donnie's tweeting is a bad look and counter productive. I guess you want him to loose in Nov. Sad.
    Trump's tweets are the only place yo can go to get the other side of the story. The entire media as always joins the democrat narrative

    It is a fact that Trump acted first and right while the democrats were calling him a racist

    Trump is not going to let them set the narrative so he does lose in November

    The smartest thing Trump does is not take advice from those who want him to lose and those who are losers themselves. If Trump listened to Never Trumpers like you we would never have had Trump

    And for using the wrong tone.
    The ability for you guys to miss the point never ceases to amaze.
    The tone // level of professionalism is completely different.

    Now, what "point" did I miss?
    tone-deaf
    /ˈtōn ˌdef/
    adjective
    adjective: tone-deaf
    (of a person) unable to perceive differences of musical pitch accurately.
    "Henry wasn't really very musical but Ivy was tone-deaf"

    Someday someone will explain to me what he thought he was accomplishing by saying stuff like this. My fallback explanation is always “He’s trying to talk the market up,” but he’s been trying that for the past two weeks with zero success. At some point even he has to understand that unrealistic optimism panics investors more than if he didn’t say anything at all.

    Maybe this is his way of trying to reassure people. His aides are probably telling him to stay realistically optimistic in his public remarks — the tests are coming, we’re working on a fiscal stimulus, and so on — but in his mind that translates into a simple reliance on “the numbers” which everyone except him understands by now are faulty. There are 546 confirmed cases here because we’ve only tested a few thousand people. There’s every reason to believe that coronavirus is deadlier than the flu is, and much deadlier to older people. There’s no vaccine, and warmer summer weather doesn’t guarantee that cases of a novel virus will tail off. The flu numbers in the tweet below are the tally at the end of flu season whereas we’re still in the beginning stages of “corona season.” Confirmed cases are about to go way, way, way up as mass testing finally comes online. Almost everyone understands this.

    Remind me again what the Congress was doing in December and January when we first become aware of the Wuhan virus.

    Corona is already going down where it first hit. Korea and China

    I prefer the tone of Trump to the bed wetters

    They need to seriously ramp up testing and start isolating the pockets of the population where the virus is more virulent. Canceling all sporting events and mass gathering just fuels the hysteria. Mass testing will also reveal that the virus isn't anywhere near as dangerous as the media/Rats are telling people and that many people who have/had the virus never even realized it because the symptoms were so mild.
