I work in critical services.
It will not apply.
That will cause a huge drop in stocks if announced ahead of time (as people try to salvage what they can, knowing the market could later open much lower).
Yep. Hello Dow at 15,000.
Do it and don’t pussy foot around. If this crap is worth causing as much damage as has already been done it is worth pulling out the biggest hammer that can be found and pounding it flat. There is no sense in having gone through just what has transpired already and not defeat this crap.
We have declared this is as bad or worse than 9/11 so let’s respond in the same or even more harsh ways.
I agree about number 3. The numbers do not come anywhere near justifying self imposed house arrest. In fact the numbers do not justify the first two either.
Bull crap. None of these people have access to the president and none of them know what he is thinking or considering. Fake news.
I hope not.
It is fake news.
This is totally crazy and overkill.
The bigger the crash the more justified the trillions in bailouts will be. We are being set up by the banksters and corps.
Stay the course.
The rebound will be remarkable.
Yes, we live in interesting times.
Maybe, but the deficits and debt we will run up will be so high we end up defaulting on it.
Yup. We should have had voluntary shelter in place for the vulnerable, with some support, and let the thing run its course.
We can't kill it - we'll all be exposed sometime, just like the flu.
Sorry, PDJT, Governor Gruesome just beat you to it. He’s locking down the whole state effective tonight.
Monday night after trading closes for lockdown and market close is my guess.
Flights within three days afterward, to allow US citizens to return home.
As long as it is in my CrewCab p/u rolling along the highway, I'm OK.
I totally agree with. I have been telling people that we are dealing with a Bio-Warfare from China, not a simple virus like a flu bug. I get laughed at, but that is ok.
Maybe he does think he’s a dictator. POTUS has no such authority
Richard Burr (Criminal-NC) got his; sold 33 stocks ON ONE DAY right B4 the market tanked on Feb 13. All transactions the same day, all sells.
It doesn’t take an infectious disease specialist to see that, other than the coasts, most of the hot and semi-hot zones are the states containing major air hubs,
Colorado (Denver)
Illinois (Chicago)
Georgia (Atlanta)
The petri dish tubes should have been shut down two to three weeks ago.
The Yuge Risk is over as Trump has kicked US TLA Rump and let the Medicos use some apparently pretty effective, already released drugs for treatment.
Why is Trump so much better than any democrat??
Only a lunatic would think of shutting down America like this.
