Pritzker had to secretly fly in supplies from China before The federal government, the back ups, could seize it. The dog whistle with the LIBERATE, his now calling social distancing politically correct. It is time for the 25rh amendment.

Trump now claims his shutdown of China travel after 45 countries did before him, and over 400,000 people travelled from China to the US after the first case of Covid 19, and over 40,000 did after his total shutdown, has saved billions of lives.

But it wasn’t divided by need or amount of cases. There are some states that will receive over $100k per Covid 19 patient. Want to guess if they are red or blue? And they need way more especially if they are supposed to be doing all the testing and bidding against each other like an episode of the Apprentice to buy masks, gowns, ventilators etc. Trump is ripping Cuomo for saying he needed 40,000 ventilators, well Coumo determined he needed them based on Trumps CDC reports.

Will There Be a 2020 Season?
I think everyone understands that and agrees with you, but rom a practical matter, anyone would have to wonder if it would work. If a player tests positive, is the entire team in quarantine? Does the league shutdown like the NBA? It isn’t like they would have time to make up a couple weeks of games. I hope they play. It is way better than watching reruns, but I just don’t know how practical it is unless something big happens fairly soon.

I also read where coastal breezes make the 6 foot separation obsolete. Crowded beaches and I crowded beaches aren’t very safe right now. Aannnd they are crowded already. Everyone should be pissed off at these people. The more they fuck up, the longer responsible people will have to stay home.

For the same reason the CARES act gave a $70 billion tax break to 43;000 millionaires. That’s an average of $1.6 million each. Real estate developers, hmm, hedge fund people. And the break is retro for 2017 and 2018. But no money for the states. No more money for hospitals. No money for testing. They are bragging about 3.7 million tests. On March 10th, Pence said they would have 4 million tests by the end of the week.Money for campaign donors and probable voters only.

Why are the Fox News personalities that drive Trumps decisions working from home if they feel everyone should be back at work? At least show by example. Fox News should go back to normal operations. I don’t think they would be violating any orders because they are considered the press, but if not,rules apparently don’t apply to presidential advisors as Ivanka and Jared were able to skate the shelter in place order and go to a Trump hotel in NJ. Which probably put several Secret Service employees in harms way.

I read a woman whose husband died in May of 2018 and changed her status to single when filing in 2019 received a payment for her husband. The other thing I read was the IRS said to keep.

Dead people are getting stimulus checks. Trump really wants their vote.

I disagree. Big Pharma has always put profits first. If it all was about the greater good, your insurance would be a lot cheaper. These are publicly traded companies whose concern is their shareholders. Making money isn't enough. You need to show growth and make more and more every year.

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.

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.
