Travel and restaurant industries are mostly shut down. Some are already bankrupted and some - like sports bars that can't survive on drive-through business, will not re-open. Schools are shut down and other business are trying to adapt by re-tooling / re-tasking. Some localities are on 24-hour curfew.
So far the "cure" is already worse than the problem.
Well, CDC says we lost 35+k to Influenza this season, where was the panic-epidemic destruction of the economy for that super sized crisis? This is a good crisis not to waste to burn down the only thing that Trump needed to run and win on. And to keep the socialist/communist manifestos at bay- capitalism producing wealth for everyone, even college kids can do basic math when it comes to a paycheck or a EBT card....
Sinking the entire ship, left right and middle to drown the captain. However, I am quite confident that Americans can see, smell and taste the foulness of the plot.
Golly, Even the RUS KSA plot to run the American frackers out of business is backfiring- just saw how they bought up all the shipping, and now refineries are balking at flooded market products, KS is literally watching an armada of VLCC ( very Large crude carriers) eat every penny of desperately ought revenues while they sit at anchor , full, with no where to sail. Soon, KSA will be completely full of oil and no where to sell, supply will slow, demand will rise and American oil will survive, if we here at home can get back to work soon!
At risk folks need to be cared for and watched out for, by family, neighbors and govt ( in that order preferably if possible) the rest of us need to get our hard working productive behinds back to work!
The Democrat wish list needs to be poison to the whole tree. End this madness Mr. President! Hell, you are damned if do, damned if you don’t by the establishment uniparty, as you always have been, nothing changed, but the news feed.
>>I will never be convinced they didn’t have a hand in all of this and are in league with the ChiComs.
Collusion!
Authorities have stopped its distribution in pharmacies to ensure that it will be available to patients in hospitals.
The only gambling I have done in my life is a nickel poker game is which I lost $2 and won it all back on the last hand. I decided to quit gambling while I was even. Which is a shame because I could clean you out if I wasn’t such a nice guy.
Since I used to have a DEA number I just got an email from the DEA. They are getting so many calls about Chloroquine they are shutting down the call center.
About Dr. Mehmet Oz
https://www.britannica.com/biography/Mehmet-Oz
He would endanger his excellent career by the controversy and appearances with the hated Trump. He started out as a guest on Oprah who went over really well.
small part of Wikipedia on him:
In September 2016, during his presidential campaign, Donald Trump appeared on The Dr. Oz Show. In the lead-up to the show’s taping, Oz promoted Trump’s appearance with a claim that Oz would assess medical records submitted to the show by Trump and reveal his assessment on the show. Several news outlets speculated that Trump’s appearance aimed to appeal to The Dr. Oz Show’s large female viewership. In 2018, Trump appointed Oz and athletes to his Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition.
Britannica said he was hauled before a committee hearing for his views on diet and health but answered he defends his right to freedom of speech.
He has dual citizenship in Turkey and US (born in Clevelend,OH) but did a lot of degree study in the US (Harvard,etc.) and even earned an MBA with his medical degrees. Was on the Harvard football team. He is a Muslim.
Father was traditional, mother was “secular” and he likes Sufis and Transcendental Meditation.
Amen. Open up DisneyLand and other such resorts and quarantine all us old folks there. Hmmm... well, I’m no Disney fan... how about Yosemite National Park? Yellowstone?
Because you just know that every rat in America will lie, cheat and with media manipulation, Trump will be in a precarious position. Instead of rolling the dice with risky downside, give the rats what they want, get the virus behind us, and WIN the trifecta in Nov. then repeal and replace these crappy laws ASAP.
Tamiflu. For flu we have tamiflu.
You are a true flubro - well said!
AMEN to that!
I’ve been saying from the beginning- two weeks is nothing
Lazarus - all this panic over two freaking weeks?
Come on now!
Totally agree....
I said FEDERAL imposed.
All of which have NOTHING to do with the virus.
They are just looking to ram through their agenda. What blatant, disgusting politicalization of a crisis.
Disgusting opportunists.
I’m so relieved I am not the only one who thought this was overkill. Although I believe enough damage has been done already and the economy will not “roar back” any time soon.
I think you are right.
An effective treatment can be a real game changer.
If people go back to work and the total deaths work out like a flu season he will be ok politically, if it’s a lot worse he is toast.
So next Monday flights will start back up out of JFK and LaGuardia to the rest of the country?
