I hope people have learned their lesson....but they probably didn’t. Pelosi is already griping about “racism”.

Trump has been abundantly clear that he has never said the virus was a hoax. He said that the Democrats were perpetrating a hoax in response.

How much worse would the spread have been under a Dem POTUS who let political correctness dictate all of his decisions?

This has long-ago reached the point of emotion over reason. Now it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Trump took office it was around 18k ...so all this selling has a ways to go....Media driven frenzy needs more spread or people will lose interest in “Sky is Falling” drum beat...Supply chain is the key...Costco has shelves to fill....

Corporate America should use their huge cash reserves and announce huge stock buybacks

I know, I live in Taiwan, a democracy which was more at risk than any other nation when this broke in china. We went on lockdown, life here is mostly normal and we have fewer than 50 confirmed cases, despite our intense risk.

I have seen this crisis handled well in a free and open society. Trump has not done so, he should be called out for this.

I see, so the virus was not a hoax, but taking it seriously was a hoax. Either way, the message seemed to change last night.

Read about the CDC’s early response and their “gold standard” test (tested for 3 strains of virus) and the resulting “Oops, bad reagent, recall the test kits”...S. Korea got tens of thousands of tests done within 2 weeks of their outbreak, and we still can’t do it 2 months later?

The China travel ban was a great move. What happened after that was a disaster. Listen to Ben Shapiro’s podcast from yesterday (Wednesday the 11th) from timestamp 38:00 to 47:00. It lays it all out.

Did Europe stop travel to China?

Only Taiwan did.

The dems take everything seriously, unless it benefits them. Get back to us when your daughter is raped by an illegal.

Agree but the media and the DC Establishment would be covering it up.

Nonsense! Trump said do not be afraid of the virus. It is like the flu. He did not say go to work with the virus or the flu.

Now, YOU may go to work when you are sick with the flu, but I would not.
