    We've seen this movie before. Cases are going to spike over the weekend becusae that's what exponential growth means.

    This is going to get worse before it gets better.

    You should end your posts with, "I'M HERE ALL WEEK. TIP YOUR WAITRESS. GOOD DAY"

    Put down the Tucker. No one is calling it the China virus. At least conservatives are taking it seriously! I do appreciate that.

    Drive through testing is innovative and smart - keep the people out of the hospital/doctor's office. Telemedicine is also an important way for us to handle this, and a wave of the future. I repeat: This is a great press conference.

    GOOD DAY

    Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.

    I'm getting tired of the Swine Flu comparison.

    Swine Flu was declared pandemic July 11th, and had a vaccine available in September, after the summer experienced a temporary retreat of cases.
    • The push was to get vaccinated!
    • They had 9,000,000 shots available at start of flu season in Sept,
    • then ramped up quickly to 40-50 million vaccines
    • And by September, they had already determined this was a weak flu...albeit, novel.
    • Some novel pandemic viruses are weak.
    and that was the lowest flu death year on recent record, because of the weakness and the vaccines.

    The good news:

    • trump declaring National Emergency. Now states can be creative with money.
    • Waves interest (not payments as I originally wrote) on college loans
    • Private companies step up their involvement
    • Dow goes up 1600
    Makes it easier to overlook the typical trump gaffs, attacks on Obama, "praise me" and "don't blame me"

    Note: I corrected the second bullet, thanks for someone pointing it out.

    No one takes you seriously that isn't already drinking the right-wing koolaid.

    The market sure did take this A+ press conference seriously. Up by the most points ever. This conclusively settles the debate in my favor.

    GOOD DAY

    My takeaway is that there is a universe of difference between former President Eisenhower and the current one...
