    What is amazing and sad is how many people believe it is fake, a hoax, not serious, etc etc

    I guess all that "MAINSTREAM MEDIA IS LYING TO YOU!" propaganda worked.

    10 more percent. That's my guess?

    All the old farts like Warren Buffet are like "this isn't 2008". No, it's different and scarier and we have a total incompetent at the wheel. Thanks for the reassurance. Maybe you could have done more in 2016.

    lot of opinion in your post. Let’s not try to pass your opinion off as fact.

    you need to channel your energy to positive, future looking actions. Whining and second guessing is not helpful.

    I don't know if canceling games is going to make a difference.

    This virus isn't magically going away. The opportunity to contain it has passed - that was back in Feb when you could test everyone coming into this country. The cat is out of the bag. It's going to spread.

    There is no stopping this. But if we closes all the schools, how will single mothers work? How will anyone work? How will we buy food? If 10 people can't get together to play a basketball game, how the hell are we going to have check-out lines at the supermarket? How will the economy survive? How will businesses survive?

    We are talking about months, not weeks, and we are talking about at least a year before a vaccine. How will society survive for the next year?

    The scope and scale of what is happening isn't dawning on everyone.

    Maybe you quarantine the entire country for two weeks and test anyone who wants to come to the US when they get on their flight or hold people at the border. But short of that, how do you stop the spread?

    It seems like we need an Italy/China lockdown. Anything else seems negligent given the criminal uncertainty and the deliberately useless federal guidance...

    Cancel everything now. Save some lives later.

    I know you're just playing around here, so have fun with your quotes, like DaDakota has learned to do in the GARM.

    Don't get riled up.
    Stay Positive.

    Save lots of lives now and later.

    Quarantine everyone for 2 weeks - give people 2 weeks to get food stocked up and get ready. Close all borders and put the country on lockdown for two weeks to clear transmission. No one leaves their homes. Test everyone by using people who have recovered from infection to test like the census. Extend all credit and bills for one month at 0 interest. Provide emergency loans to cover utilities for those who need it during the lockdown.

    Once lockdown is over, test everyone again. Those who have recovered can be given a blue card meaning they are immune. Anyone else needs to be checked periodically and quarantined if they test positive. Test anyone who gets on a plane or a boat to the us. Or drives into the country.

    This way things can return to relative normal sooner.

    Good news, if you missed the previous guidance from Trump, Larry Kudlow, Don Jr and Eric to buy the dip last week.... you're going to have a lot more chances to do so very soon!

    We don't have any tests so the last part of your plan is ****ed.

    Thanks Trump for that.

    I’m looking hard at deploying some of my significant cash reserves into highly levered call options.
