Within a month or so, if it goes on that long, many companies will begin to fail, unless relieved of debt, payroll, and rent/utility payments. Otherwise too much going out with next to nothing coming in.

"he is declaring an emergency to shut up the democrats who will otherwise say he is doing nothing or not enough. This is all about the election."

It's about an actual virus that is spreading through the population.

I am one of the few who was watching the regular briefings with Pence and Fauci. Sure seemed to me they thought it was real.

National emergencies are generally about cutting red tape and funding.

“ Yes, you wonder why the Canadian media isn’t ripping Justin Trudeau for this mess.”

Because they’re on the same Leftist team. No need to wonder.

Agreed. Dennis Prager is just as bad. Don’t know if they got their cue from some Trump insiders, but it’s a bad and unhelpful look.

DH retired a couple months ago and unfortunately we are making monthly withdrawals from our 401k. I am still working and looks like i’m going to be working a lot longer than i planned at this point. Considering stopping the $ from the 401k and using savings instead but also dont want to decrease liquidity right now. Unfortunately I worry that the mass hysteria is going to cause real economic damage and the recovery may be slower that thought

At least it’s funny to see leaders in Brazil, Iran, here, Australia and god only knows where else getting this virus.
The jet set is practically inbred. This shows how much they hang out together, party together, etc.

Half the globalists can probably donate a kidney to each other.

There is STILL a contingent on FR that is insisting that Trump is declaring a national emergency only for political purposes.

Do they realize that if that were the case, which it is not, that it would be inexecrable behavior on his part?

He is falling for the hype. In the age of social media, virtue signalling is everything.

The downplayers had their fun for several weeks. Now it’s a national emergency.

Actually the ones panicking are the news pundits and those pushing their own panic buttons, at least around my area. I'd say there's a quiet preparation for what could be possible here but I have not seen people panicked.

I like how the Pres. is handling this in what areas he has control and cooperation from. However citizens aren't staying home if they're sick... so these measures to limit or cancel events is just smart.

“He finally believes this is real. That’s a good thing.”

Oh come on, he always took it serious. Part of his job is to try to keep the country from a meltdown. As it turns out an impossible task when the MSM/DNC is determined to cause an economic crash.

“Don’t know how many weeks it can survive with such limited activity....”

Not long. The average American lives paycheck to paycheck.
