I disagree with the President on this is just like a flu. To early to compare to a flu. I do think they need to expand the testing.
I do agree the current risk today is low, but that could change next week, next month or this fall. We need more testing to keep watch.
I disagree on the reason the market drop. It is not about who is running for President under the Democratic party. The market drop was because of the factory shutdowns in China. Has nothing to do with the Democratic party or politics. I do not think anybody listens to the Democratic party when it comes to investing.
Generally, I think the President is trying to calm everybody by having the meeting and appointing Vice President Pence.
I do think China is lying about their numbers. I do not think we are out of the woods, but thankful we have Vice President directing things.
Good post....I agree with you.
Lou Dobbs just had Rosemary Gibson on, author of China Rx, talking about how 90% of our drugs are made in China.
She said it would take MONTHS to get drug manufacturing, up and running, here...but, due to the low profitability, it will be tough to get companies to even want to make these drugs, here.
The shutdown there will definitely hit us...as well as the mask problem.
This is what we fear it is. From Washington Post. Our lack of pandemic preparedness could prove deadly
“Policymakers need to pay much closer attention to the threats that could be posed by biologically engineered pathogens. There are still no licensed vaccines for most of the deadly viral pathogens that have occurred naturally in the past 40 years. That includes HIV, West Nile, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). A pathogen that combined the lethality of any of these diseases with the ability to spread like influenza could cause extraordinary illness and mortality.”
