I suspect that Trump is working with other world leaders to coordinate the lockdown. 30 days, starting next week, seems reasonable to me - if we actually want this nightmare to end.

Well has anybody noticed the coronavirus is a smoke screen to cover up the fact that the petro dollar is crashing and our economy with it? C’mon folks they are getting ready to send everybody a $1000 check. Shades of 2008. We are in the middle of a monetary reset. The good news is that most people are panicking over a flu virus. It would be worse if they realized its deja vu all over again.

“Just wondering. What will be the result of letting the virus just run its course, like a seasonal flu ? People would be advised not to catch it, but if they do then to just deal with it.”

I would support a hospital lockout for anyone who doesn’t shelter in place and gets caught by police. That way hospital care will be available for people who do follow the rules.

or was deliberately trying to drive down the market.

Reading comments on several "investment" boards, that is exactly what's been happening. "Crash and burn", "drive them to their knees!".

Shorting the US market has been the game of the century. The ANTIFA of the financial world has had a huge laugh at their ability to run the market into the ground, and people of the "let the market play out" mind were their useful idiots.

Sometimes I get a little surprised at wondering if many on here are not-so-stealth Berniebots and BideHilldebeast groupies.

Neither one of my best friends believe me, seems like one is almost there, but the realization of it actually hurts him mentally, and it hurts me to see it.

This board is nuts.

Is this new? Yes.

Do I want half of these people in an ever changing situation to have my back? NO!

Notice how many GOP senators sold out before the announcement of an emergency?

Bastards. I am looking at losing income, house, and everything.

Could of stopped this by grounding international planes, but not now.

A bridge too far!

No, nope, no way, never, don’t go there, and every other way to say BAD IDEA!

Impossible to enforce in any case, impossible and unjust law just encourages more disrespect for laws in general.
I cannot abide by such an impossible “Law”, neither could millions of others.

Basic infrastructure cannot be suspended, crops still have to be tended, livestock cared for, deliveries made, shopping done, ..................

Our goods do not “Come from the store”, they come from our labors first!
No labor allowed = No goods to support us.
Pointless to survive a virus only to starve, freeze, heat-stroke, or run out of other essentials.

Despite the hysteria I still do not see this being worse than the “Conventional Flu” for most folk.
Impossible to parse the genuine truth with so many very widely divergent claims being made.
The MSM/Dem. operative agenda also adds a huge level of doubt.

We have already gone too far, time to scale this hysteria back several notches.

If this happens it’s over folks.

The POS Burr would prob resign if he cuts a deal not to be investigated by SEC. In fact he would be happy to screw Trump one more time with a Dem appointee in exchange for walking away with his insider trading get outta jail pass. POS.

“ What will be the result of letting the virus just run its course, like a seasonal flu ?”

4,000,000 US deaths. Look it up on your phone.
