    this is a great point, and health officials in CA admit it. Testing here is sparse.

    Wow, thanks for sharing. It’s so sad in that you can’t even go hold a relative’s hand.

    Lots of cancelled flights. I didn't check EWR though or JFK (JFK only has minimal flights into IAH with DLT and B6 though).

    I generally am judging the pandemic by the Ratio off TEST to Hospitalized to DEATHS
    3234/91270 = 4%
    8.6 million in NYC = 344000 dead . . . .that is really not acceptable

    I don't believe Trump's approval rating is over 50% any more than I believe O'Brien deserves to be GM/Coach. It's fake news from Trumpateers.

    I don't think that work... because TEST isn't accurate and has changed over time (was lacking to being accelerated to now being reserved due to lack of mask / ppe supplies - at least in NY). # test will slow down while hospitalized and deaths will go up. If you have great testing, you can somewhat predict hospitalized and death, but we won't have that.

    well... that's certainly a contrarian view!

    chickenpox doesn't really, you know, kill people, but i can vaguely get the idea.

    Did I just see on Fox News that South Korea will be providing us with test kits? That's great if it's true.

    We are trading the Federalist to them for 37 test kits and cash considerations.

    Bill O'brien scoffs at this trade. Must add inconsequential 6th round draft pick in 2032.

    Good news from a few of the major banks (unfortunately, not BoA)...

    Our governor, here in Minnesota, did a fantastic presentation on Covid-19 scenarios (including explaining the value of shelter in place and the impact of a no mitigation strategy). Its worth watching for anyone as its probably the best explanation of what governments are doing and why its important.

    I would recommend paying the mortgages. I am sure the escrow and interest wont stop and it will be months before they get back to paying on the principal. It is like those sneaky forebearances the gov tries to get you to take on student loans.
