I highly doubt he's scared or he believes this was started by the NWO to help them take over the world

Is that what people do for fun when sports are cancelled ?

Nicky worth noting. Obama took over in the middle of a great recession after Bush crashed the economy
- he ended with 75 straight months of job growth. Trash him all you want, but certain things are cemented in history.

If the world works together, it will be ok because we can stabilize it but if we go at this in typical fashion, I do fear it will be another depression.

Case in point: 281,000 Americans filed for unemployment last week, a 33% jump over the prior week and the biggest % increase since 1992.

Next week, 2.25 MILLION are predicted to file for unemployment— 8 times the number last week and the highest number EVER.

Everything was left in good condition. Now initially the doom and gloomers like most of the left will say we are wrecked for 5 years. Don’t believe those idiots. Deep down they like bad economic growth because they buy low stocks that do well in recessions. Remember, not every stock collapses. Plus they want to use this excuse as a reason to get Biden. Anything negative is their hope for him to lose votes and that is their ONLY HOPE. In some ways the Dems love this, NOT the crisis but the results of the crisis.

He is like Obama. His economic growth projection would be similar to Obama’s which was slim and none. And before the defenders come out and say well he inherited a bad economy well of course all true but when you are at the bottom you can only go up. But Obama’s problem was his policy makers were being too strict of regulations that hampered the economy. His growth for the entire 8 years was one of the worst positives from a President, EVER. It was atrocious and it was all pumped with QE2, not real hard cash. They basically pulled it out of the air and tried to fire up the economy and it was a joke.

Also Think of his cash for clunkers program? What a joke that was. And when you talk about the housing market imploding and the banks going broke go blame the democrats for that as well. They were responsible in the in mid to late 90s of asking for mortgages to get easier for people who really couldn’t afford a mortgage and they just gave them to everybody as was their program and that sucked the housing market and banks dry.

I don’t hate Democrat’s or anyone. I hate their policies. Sleepy Joe is probably a great guy as was Obama but they didn’t really care about the economy deep down. They spent most of their 8 years apologizing for everything that happened in the last 235-240 years. And they hated to be #1. They felt guilty IMO. When you are President you do what good for America. I’m not saying you ignore the world but you take care of #1 first and Obama deep down didn’t really care for that type of thinking.

We are number 19 in healthcare and education.

Yep. Rich people have the luxury to buy stocks. I have 300k in my 401k and hope to retire in 16 years. I am not allocating my funds into the C fund or aggressive stock fund at this time cause I don't want to lose anything, because I may get sick as I am diabetic and may have to stop working anyway. Or who knows my job might be eliminated. We don't know the uncertainty and consequences of this. Who knows. I moved it to bonds G fund. Once the cost is clear we can go back to aggressive investing. Sure if your wealthy you can play the long game and profit from the situation. Yet, thus is like nothing anyone has dealt with in our life time. People just rolling conservative talking points make me laugh as if this was some market correction or short term crisis over the oil fields in the middle East or even a war somewhere need to reevaluate.

Not surprised at all with what's going on. Ton of people probably don't have any income right now staying home.
Luckily, my wife is able to work from home and can work plenty of OT most weeks as well.

I do in-home AV installs, so we are totally shut down right now. We still get paid for the next 2 weeks, then I'll use my PTO t cover additional time off. Probably just use it 20-30 hrs a week at a time to stretch it out further, but I'm guessing we'll likely be off for at least the next couple months. Thankfully it resets in every July, and since last July I've only used 4 days total so I still have pretty much all of it saved.

Question

22,000 cares in the US

278 deaths

1.26 death rate

Not the 8-9% like in Italy.

And In the same time frame how many people died from the regular flu?

48% of the US cases are in NY. That's nuts.

So do we what you can to stay safe. Stay home as much as you can. Wash your hands use sanitizer and keep your distance from others. When this is done make sure to vote for elected officials who are sober, deliberative, and get the best scientific advice possible. Also vote for a President who doesn't think in only quarertly reports to determine what is best for the American people and for Senators and Congresssman commuted to ensuring all Americans have access to quality health care. After all my insurance and health doesn't mean crap if the people I m around don't got to a doctor.

That’s the thing , will this ever end? Will things ever get back to normal or close to it? Will the new world order take over?
