Yeah I don’t really know what to make of it because I can’t find a formal announcement. I would not be surprised if the “news” outlets sat on it to make it look like the President isn’t doing anything. This really is it in their minds they think they finally have the magic sauce to destroy Trump.I do see some danger here. I could see Bloomberg for instance do a media blitz with what looks like a “plan to rescue the country and the economy”. MSM will be all over it and who knows.

gotcha I guess 0.89 is better than nothing. But the week was a bloodbath. DH just retired and this is the time of max stress on our retirement savings. We will stay the course but it does give one a gut check

More people have died from vending machines falling on them, than the Corona virus, in the US.

It usually happens when someone is violently shaking the machine, trying to get it to give up something without paying for it.

I had a friend who wan a mechanical engineer who testified in a trial over one of these cases. The kid was horribly maimed but only got a small settlement because he had been trying to steal from the machine.

Probably part of their charter in situations like this with quote new viruses and bugs.

If you have a standard testing system instead of dozens or more, the results should be standard across the country.

Then those CDC tests become the standard when the free market gets into the game with the various testing systems.
