CORONAVIRUS: BARCLAYS SAYS NEW YORK TRADING FLOOR WORKER TESTS POSITIVE FOR COVID-19 https://abc7ny.com/amp/6000521

"SEll! Sell!" (J/K!)

[cgbg]

Health care workers (and first responders) are at highest risk.

They need to be protected.

[cgbg]

Looks like the stock market has bigger problems than panicked customers...

[bgill]

And she’ll pick Schumer for her VP. He never leaves her side and now we know why.

[cgbg]

Lookner—nursing home with deaths in WA state—seven first responders were tested—but the test processing were delayed so long the samples expired!

Testing is _still_ a crisis.

[cgbg]

Lookner—Governor of NC says he only has supplies to test 300 people.

[cgbg]

Lookner—Both Biden and Sanders canceled campaign events. We may have seen the last of campaign events for a while.

My question: Phoenix debate on Sunday?

[ncalburt]

very true .
I have never such erratic denial and pathetic responses by our DC leaders .
They don't have the interest nor the fortitude for the fight here .
Last night press conference and the storming out by a member
was a sorry situation.
Other countries have out-shined us regarding there clear strong smart actions.
They want to contain and fight .
We have rolled over and give up .

[cgbg]

Lookner—Denmark reported cases more than doubled in twenty four hours.

[bgill]

This from Friday:

“I like the numbers being where they are. I don’t need to have the numbers double because of one ship that wasn’t our fault,” Trump said in a Fox News interview.

[cgbg]

Lookner talking about canceling events delaying peak (but not stopping it).

The way to keep the numbers low is to stop testing. :-)

Coronavirus mortality in Lombardy is now 8%, more than double Wuhan! Lombardy health system is completely beyond ability to deliver adequate care - hence rationing who gets ICUs. It’s sad, so so sad. #COVID19 Let’s not let this happen to us America

Quarantining the state--no travel in or out of state.

I have to cross a state line to help take care of my Mom...

[cgbg]

and many many other folks as well have similar issues, but imho we _will_ get there—not a question of if, but when.

The longer we wait, the more people will die needlessly because the health care system is overloaded.

Most of them will die from _non_ virus cases. That is why concern about the virus death rates is totally missing the point imho.

[sissyjane]

I read this, and it’s a you’re on your own... Don’t call us unless it’s life or death. We aren’t testing you. No quarantine. WHAT???

[Black Agnes]

the ONLY reason it’s decreased in SK is because of measures we aren’t taking.

They tested nearly EVERYbody in that region that was at risk for contact. And everyone who was positive was told to stay home.

They closed schools, public spaces, etc.

Of COURSE the numbers are decreasing now.

That didn’t just happen on its own...

[ncalburt]

No need to wonder why the flights from infected Italy have not stopped .
The WH refuses to accept reality .
This man is in deep denial and openly ignores the deaths and sick piling up. No concern .

Hysteria is not justified
