Donald has so often pushed alternate realities, and hoards of pitiful, worshipping lemmings have backed him up on his lunacy.
But in this case reality is what it is.
The situation on the ground will only deteriorate further.

Look for the next big leg down to begin either Friday or next Monday.

Re: Doom
Sure pick one day and yes it is down 8% from its all time high.
But if you want to pick a certain day, we can as well. It is up 36% since Jan 1, 2017. I am glad I haven’t been holding a majority cash as someone has suggested.

Re: Doom
Ok cool so you made major gains.
You are unlikely to make anything on your short position and probably will lose money. Picking a specific or specific stocks to short is extremely difficult.

The "greatest economy ever" is totally cratering.
The bank repo scam has been going on for months (on the backs of taxpayers) and now we will begin to see "industry bailouts," which of course will also go on the back of the taxpayers.
Rescue the banks, rescue the airlines, rescue other industries hurt by supply chain disruption...
Yes.
lol
Who knew a greater degree of socialism would be ushered in during the Drumpf years?

The American Hospital Association, which represents thousands of hospitals and health systems, hosted a webinar in February with its member hospitals and health systems. Business Insider obtained a copy of the slides presented.
The presentation, titled "What healthcare leaders need to know: Preparing for the COVID-19" happened February 26, with representatives from the National Ebola Training and Education Center.
As part of the presentation to hospitals, Dr. James Lawler, a professor at the University of Nebraska Medical Center gave his "best guess" estimates of how much the virus might spread in the US...

I will say this: Bush-Cheney did the right thing immediately grounding all flights on the morning of 9/11.

Trump's second term will be a moment of silence for ruthie Ginsburg. Then putting Scalia Conservative Amy Coney Barrett in her place, before Ruth's in the ground and her seat on the court is still warm. AND, watching Schumer's glasses on the very tip of his hook nose, fall to the floor and shatter.
If nothing else happens, it will be more successful than Obama's two terms combined.

Trump's mismanagement helped fuel coronavirus crisis
Current and former administration officials blame the president for creating a no-bad-news atmosphere that stifled attempts to combat the outbreak.
By DAN DIAMOND

On Friday, as coronavirus infections rapidly multiplied aboard a cruise ship marooned off the coast of California, health department officials and Vice President Mike Pence came up with a plan to evacuate thousands of passengers, avoiding the fate of a similar cruise ship, the Diamond Princess, which became a petri dish of coronavirus infections. Quickly removing passengers was the safest outcome, health officials and Pence reasoned.
But President Donald Trump had a different idea: Leave the infected passengers on board — which would help keep the number of U.S. coronavirus cases as low as possible.
“Do I want to bring all those people off? People would like me to do it,” Trump admitted at a press conference at the CDC later on Friday. “I would rather have them stay on, personally.”
“I don't need to have the numbers double because of one ship that wasn't our fault,” Trump added, saying that he ultimately empowered Pence to decide whether to evacuate the passengers.
For six weeks behind the scenes, and now increasingly in public, Trump has undermined his administration’s own efforts to fight the coronavirus outbreak — resisting attempts to plan for worst-case scenarios, overturning a public-health plan upon request from political allies and repeating only the warnings that he chose to hear. Members of Congress have grilled top officials like Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar and Centers for Disease Control Director Robert Redfield over the government’s biggest mistake: failing to secure enough testing to head off a coronavirus outbreak in the United States. But many current and former Trump administration officials say the true management failure was Trump’s.
“It always ladders to the top,” said one person helping advise the administration’s response, who noted that Trump’s aides discouraged Azar from briefing the president about the coronavirus threat back in January. “Trump’s created an atmosphere where the judgment of his staff is that he shouldn’t need to know these things.”
Interviews with 13 current and former officials, as well as individuals close to the White House, painted a picture of a president who rewards those underlings who tell him what he wants to hear while shunning those who deliver bad news. For instance, aides heaped praise on Trump for his efforts to lock down travel from China — appealing to the president’s comfort zone of border security — but failed to convey the importance of doing simultaneous community testing, which could have uncovered a potential U.S. outbreak. Government officials and independent scientists now fear that the coronavirus has been silently spreading in the United States for weeks, as unexplained cases have popped up in more than 25 states.
“It’s a clearly difficult situation when the top wants to hear certain answers,” said one former official who’s briefed the White House. “That can make it difficult for folks to express their true assessment — even the most experienced and independent minds.”

BUWAHAHAHA
ONCE AGAIN screw links to a left wing author, writing for politico, a left wing rag.
Either you are too stupid to know that it's their job to attack the president 24/7, OR, you've got mental health issues.
EITHER WAY, your credibility is at zero.

Re: Doom
Politico is neither a left wing nor right wing rag, you ignorant asswipe. Your president is intentionally interfering with the outbreak response to rig the numbers.
People will die because of this and it is YOUR fault.

I don't need to have the numbers double because of one ship that wasn't our fault.
- Donald
This summarizes where Donald is on this crisis.
His primary concern is how "the numbers" will reflect on him, and his chances for re-election.
He is also trying to fudge reality by making BLATANTLY incorrect statement regarding testing, spread of the virus, how people should deal with it, etc.
His handling of this matter is disturbing, to say the very least.
I said long ago that Donald needs to be removed because he is a clear and present danger.
When all is said and done, his dealing with the Coronavirus will be -----> Exhibit A.

The most frustrating and irritating thing about Donald is that he always tells us the bad and terrible shit he is doing, but his sycophants just make excuses for him.Softball Bat wrote: ↑Sun Mar 08, 2020 3:21 am I don't need to have the numbers double because of one ship that wasn't our fault.
