The market
is dropping like a rock because we were hit by an outside influence we had nothing to do with. people are going to spend a lot less in the coming weeks, meaning earnings will be down. i can’t imagine owning a restaurant right now.

You’re saying this is trumps fault? Really?

How do you suppose we’d be better off exactly, if Hilary had won? How do you suppose our economy would be better off right at this moment, if hilary had won? Can you be specific?

You’re rooting for many deaths and an economic collapse. because if we come out relatively un-scathed, trump could possibly be seen as having managed us through this crisis well. And we all know that your bitch-slapped psyche cannot process that possibility.

Politics and economics aren’t for you. Stick to calling people’s mothers whores, you’re better at that.

You’re the rodeo clown here. the most reasonable liberal here by far is rockhound, and he has you blocked. You might ask yourself why he did that. The most logical
and thoughtful liberal here...

President Trump made his first public comments about the coronavirus on Jan. 22, in a television interview from Davos with CNBC’s Joe Kernen. The first American case had been announced the day before, and Kernen asked Trump, “Are there worries about a pandemic at this point?”

The president responded: “No. Not at all. And we have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.”

By this point, the seriousness of the virus was becoming clearer. It had spread from China to four other countries. China was starting to take drastic measures and was on the verge of closing off the city of Wuhan.

In the weeks that followed, Trump faced a series of choices. He could have taken aggressive measures to slow the spread of the virus. He could have insisted that the United States ramp up efforts to produce test kits. He could have emphasized the risks that the virus presented and urged Americans to take precautions if they had reason to believe they were sick. He could have used the powers of the presidency to reduce the number of people who would ultimately get sick.

He did none of those things.
