Just data, period.
(Naturally, nobody believes China's numbers, but FT is just posting official counts.)
They were protecting the rest of China, while deliberately infecting the rest of the world.
Actually I have my own business, it did slow down, it slowed down a lot, and now it is starting to pick up. For what reason, I am not sure, but I will take what I can get.
Its bad right now
But it isn’t the end of the world
At least we have a leader who isn’t going to create new taxes (obamacare) to “fix” the economy.
So I expect the turn around to be the fastest we have experienced.
You live on a government pension, good for you.
My liberal friends used to chide me that “conservatives” and Republicans were greedy, selfish and ignorant. Well COVID has proven them to be correct when it comes to a lot of Fearpers.
I believe the models were pointing out the worst case without proper public health measures. Now that public health measures have been implemented and are actually working. Thus, the numbers should and in fact are lower. Why are you and others not taking this into account when making these statements?
The old (70+) and those with pre existing health conditions are projecting their personal feelings and fears onto everyone else. Plus the old have no skin in maintaining a “good” economy.
“The President absolutely not”
POTUS shut down all US ports of entry.
Daily POTUS admonishes states to follow his guidance (task force).
POTUS is operating under Emergency declaration to compel certain actions by private companies.
POTUS has approved Disaster declarations in all 50 states.
POTUS CLAIMS he is the sole authority on when to open the economy.
I don’t see how any thinking person cannot lie principal responsibility at his feet. The governors are following his guidance and shielding under his political cover.
Whether good or bad, this is the Donald Trump show.
No, PT’s policies on a shitdown saved lives, and will help him in Nov.

Lol, shutdown, i really need to stop typing so fast.
In the end its the governors that issued these closure orders that are going to pay the price.
A bad disease model cost us two trillion dollars and 22 million jobs. And liberals are screaming, “But give us more of this power, we’ve got climate models predicting the end of the world!”
This is why the “precautionary principle” is dangerous and unacceptably expensive.
