It's kinda amazing that the citizens are willing to do what it takes and follow medical advice while the people in the capital are fighting against it...of course all you have to do is follow the big money and who really runs the country and you'll know why.
They say wash your hands, participate in social distancing. I want to hear what they are gonna do. We already knew what we had to do.

Mass testing. Is the only way to get the economy back. Mass testing so that social distancing and washing hands actually have an effect.

If not tomorrow then definitely Friday. Italy is still adding over 5,000 new cases a day so it'll take 2 days to pass them
Italy is scaling back testing, simply because they are overwhelmed.
I see your argument, but imo, we are testing at a higher rate, and will probably pass Italy by a few thousand or so, but will be interesting to monitor.
I see a +12-15,000 U.S. case count tomorrow, with Italy probably upping around 4000 or so.

Is it really that bad if a few old folks, fatties or aids people die? It's more natural that way. Darwinism and whatnot. Plus tom hanks can play himself in the movie

Realistically we should kill more people. Start by taking the warning labels off chemicals and let retards drink bleach or microwave car batteries. Let them try to fly and put it all on the internet

The "bailouts"/stimulus won't pay bills for the majority that need them...this will not be a good thing
1200 bucks for somebody laid off indefinitely that is ordered to not work? Ya that doesn't work.


Gonna have to open it back up, or shit is actually gonna get real

Agreed. And unless I misheard, minuchen implied this was the targeted one time relief for 3 months

It's been my opinion for awhile we're allowing this to run its course to get the deaths up with the aim of getting Europe and public opinion in favor of the west when it comes down to war, which is what the lackadaisical response indicates.
That's what history tells us in hindsight.
I expect some action in and around Taiwan to be the pin prick, or something in the S.China sea.
Sabers are quietly rattling; Japan and the U.S. are both testing scramjet weapons that Russia and China already have.

But yeah, real-time watching these talking heads in the capital is enraging.

if that is the case, then it has to be time to go back to work

there is no option other than a self destructing nation

shit will get very violent, very quickly

high population centers of broke and angry people are not a good cauldron


1200 is a slap in the face for many people with high overhead for their living expenses


I think this show must go on early to mid April

Why during every White House press conference are they all on the stage at the same time?

Lead by example, ffs. At best there's a ft difference between them all. What's the deal here? Can't one person speak then another? It's stupid as fuck.

Well that's trump's goal. But another option is to stop the corporate welfare, put more money directly into the hands of citizens (without the democrats idiotic means testing that they love) and then he will probably win 2020 easily

But if he goes the route hes sa saying he will, then hes potentially throwing aay the election to half dead biden or cuomo. (And more importantly, causing the needless deaths of many Americans)

Just my opinion tho

Next few weeks will be telling one way or the other

I don't really care about who what when where how

but a multiple month shutdown is gonna do a ton of harm

many people are gonna run out of money and will become desperate

Unless food and lodging is free, the country will not function on shutdown with 1200 dollars to tide them over...just won't work sadly

the population density and overall unpreparedness of this populace is quite a potential ticking time bomb if you think about it



Such a shame this is even thought about in Political terms or repercussions IMO
