Maybe initially. But long term, it's better for them than giving everyone a free shot and be cured. Look at cancer. They spend their time making people live a little longer with it while having to use their product, than never getting it.

Treatment for this is far more profitable than a cure for drug companies. I'm pretty sure that will determine their focus.

I wonder why he is tweeting it. He's calling the shots. He has all the control. He is going to provide briefs that prove it. Why doesn't he just relax the restrictions?

It's coming from a certain television network who believes it so much they are all working from home.

It is interesting the person who claimed to have authority over all issued something called guidelines.

Governors it's on you. But no funds going to states. Now he's tweeting liberate Michigan, liberate Minnesota, liberate Virginia, apparently in support of the protesters. But, he will remind us not to make this political. Inciting his supporters to use this disease as a political weapon. Now bashing Cuomo, tells him to quit talking and go to work. The guy with 2 1/2 hour press conferences and hours on twitter.

I agree. 1% of the population has been tested. I cannot believe the scientists caved to this guy. I don’t know how opening up restaurants in Idaho saves the US economy. But the market will jump for a day or two.

There is a new study out that claims if the shelter in place orders were placed just 2 weeks earlier, the US death toll would have been 6,000.

Twitter post of the day: If I wanted a check signed by Trump, I would have become a porn star.

Someone in NW Indiana got $8.2 million from the government in his account yesterday.

There are shortages because everyone in the world needs these tests. POTUS can't deliver so he is putting testing on the states, even though he has created in his own words the greatest testing in the world.

NYC usually has about 25 at home deaths a day. That is up to 200 a day right now. I doubt they are all Covid 19 deaths, but probably the uptick is related. You probably don't want to go to a hospital right now. So you stay at home and die.

People who are getting stimulus checks will have a delay of a couple days as they put Trumps name on the check. This is not a joke.

Trump endorsements aren't the gold they were a couple of years ago. I think people may finally be getting sick of the craziness. He likes to call some RINOs, but that seems to be more projection. He stole the republican party. He's not a republican. It wouldn't surprise me as we go on that many of his buddies start trying to distance themselves from him.

Obviously he hasn't been as successful in Orlando, but Matt Lloyd is the reason they drafted Taj and Butler, and I think Noah as well. Those picks and no brainer DRose, were the feathers in scouting God Gar's hat. Once Lloyd left, Teague was the next selection.

A pastor at a church in VA that held a service defying the local ban a couple of weeks ago just died of the virus. Wonder what will happen in WI after the election last week, and all that closeness. Trumps candidate lost anyway.

I actually have a DVD collection of every postseason game. I bought it in 2006 for next to nothing. I have never opened it.

I think you are right, but I still don't think they play. Like fathom writes, what happens when one guy tests positive? The NBA shut down. And I think the weather is a concern, as is the rest of the roster. How do you call guys up if someone gets hurt? How do minor leaguers get enough work? Play on backfields in AZ during the afternoon in the middle of summer?

Personally, I don't think the major leaguers wind up playing either. I don't know how you play in AZ every day when it's 112, or in FL were it rains almost daily in the summer, and is a hot, humid, mess. But I hope they do.

Hopefully, it's just paid retirement. They did a lot more change than I ever figured they would, so I am quite pleased even if I am not too familiar with the new regime.

This is a great day for Bulls fans. Hopefully they hired the right guy. At least we know they fired the right guy. His opinion about Gar seems pretty, pretty, pretty spot on, so good start.

It appears for all intents and purposes, there will be no minor league season, so injuries and roster shuffling should be interesting if they do play.

Hopefully they make some difference, but it still stuns me how many people won’t even put on a mask or some covering. I have 4 grocery stores near me, so if one is too crowded, I walk out. The Jewel by me now has a line to get in. But even while limiting the amount of people allowed in the store, I can’t believe they let people in without a mask. The Plum Market by me actually has free gloves when you walk in. It again amazes me how many people pass. I would say with the nice weather, that less than 25% of the people I saw out had masks. I also saw several groups of people. I still don’t think enough people are taking this very seriously. Of course my wife has asthma, an underlying condition that could kill her if she got this virus so I am probably a bit more anal about everything than usual. But this isn’t just going to go away. Look at the other countries.

All I know is we were assured by this administration that the Coronavirus was contained. Shut down. Cases were going down to zero. A spokesman, now press secretary said this President wouldn’t allow the virus in this country. Then they were so unprepared now anything under 100,000 deaths will be celebrated. Could you imagine the tweets we would get from the current POTUS if he were still just a citizen and this same thing was happening with POTUS from either party in charge?

The problem is the administration wants it both ways. Deaths per capita makes sense. So does tests per capita.
