Saudi Arabia and Russia are arguing over the price and flow of oil. That, and the Fake News, is the reason for the market drop!

CT had the first local resident case today (Fairfield County):

The previously reported CT case lived in NY but was the doc who worked in two CT hospitals—don’t know if they are now reporting him as a CT or NY case.

His comments are inane. He needs to keep his eye on the ball. For the first time, I am becoming concerned about his chances in November if he continues down this path. Everyday Americans are concerned about this.

That is so infuriating. More of the “rules don’t apply to me” mentality.

Obviously I am not pleased with the President’s comments—but November is a lifetime away.

I am confident he will take decisive action at some point—clearly much later than any of us would like—and there is so much that will happen between now and then that my crystal ball just shows no information at all...

Don’t know about Badboo but in my boonies locale, it’s DSL from the local phone co or satellite and satellite sucks. We’re lucky that we’re close to one of the big phone junction box that requires electric to it. We get as good a signal as people down town so we have no problem streaming TV.

So last year 37,000 Americans died from the common Flu. It averages between 27,000 and 70,000 per year. Nothing is shut down, life & the economy go on. At this moment there are 546 confirmed cases of CoronaVirus, with 22 deaths. Think about that!

Local cooperative, originally created for farm rural telephone service. They got into the high speed grants under Obama. Pulled new fiber optic broadband cables everywhere. Super fast. Neighboring county has Frontier complete disaster, was like Cox Internet when I was in Virginia, absolutely atrocious. That is one thing to check before moving to a rural area. Now our cell phone service has lots of holes in it from all providers, but that I don’t care about. I have a $10/ month flip phone for travel which is seldom.

Yeah—that was the party line from the local radio talk show host.

I want to live in that world! :-)

His own task force team and doctors that he put in charge are saying different. That mixed messaging has people worried.

Our coop electric company has just installed a fiber network in our neighborhood. Right now they are twice the cost per month (60 vs 30) as my ATT DSL line. The other fiber line is Spectrum which is 45/mo. I’m wondering if 5G wireless will be a competitor also?

I agree and hope he gets ahead of this soon. He's rightly spent time defending his initial actions but that seems to be all he's doing.

With respect to November, it is a lifetime away but....

If folks like us are seeing everything around us changing and the economy having headwinds, even in the short term, it will be reflected in November. I'm one of those who never want to underestimate the enemy and I think we may be overconfident in our approach. Tackle it now and maintain the momentum!
