    You wanna save lives or money? What in the actual **** is in the minds of these corrupt politicians? The Fed's throwing 1.5 trillion at the markets but we're gonna b**** and moan about the use of medicaid in a national emergency? Come the **** on...

    Serious question, would suspending the corporate tax cuts given by Trump for the next 2 years help with making up the money needed to cover this?

    Wonder which one of his buddies pockets are getting larger by this whole coronavirus fiasco. Lol remember when people thought he'd drain the swamp but in reality he's actually part of the swamp.

    There is a lot being made of a chart showing the amount of people infected in Italy at a particular point in time and how many are infected in the USA.... and the chart is being used to show that over a 5 day period of time, the number of deaths and infections between the USA and Italy are roughly correlating.

    What isn't being pointed out is that Italy has roughly 60 million people and the USA has 325 million people. At this point, in time, if the spread in the USA is a mirror of that in Italy..... we should have far more deaths based on our population. It is certainly possible we see a spike that goes BEYOND what is captured in graphs....... however, thus far Italy has had 1,000 people die from the virus. While that number will grow, it is far less than what some have speculated would happen. The number will likely jump greatly in Italy and the USA but it isn't as large as some would think.

    I expect we will find out that the number dead in places like Iran and possibly India will FAR exceed what is happening in Italy.

    How many American's have died from the Corona virus?

    Until it actually hits "home" a lot of people are not going to be upset.

    There are 325 million people in the USA and only around 1,300 people confirmed to have the virus (which we all know is way higher) but not many deaths from the virus.....
