    Made it to Disneyland yesterday - the day before they closed! No lines - living my best life!

    50 people have died in the US...half from the nursing home in Washington state. I'm not panicked yet, but I do think the elderly need to be careful.

    I'm using this time to make smart investments in the stock and bond markets, and enjoy low cost travel!

    China was late as they tried to cover it up. How was the WHO late? Where is the criticism of that? I think that's just a right-wing narrative to try to give Trump cover for being really late.

    Any stock tips? Also, I thought you don't fly commercial, just from the general aviation terminal?

    I'm serious about the stock tips. Was looking at Gilead and Amazon.

    ha! I did fly commercial this time. Certainly not my preference.

    I’m selling fixed income and going long s&p etfs. If you want to go balls out, buy call options on oil companies.

    If you compare the outbreak in the USA to what's going on in Europe, Trump is looking amazing by comparison. It's time for the liberals to give credit where credit is due... not try to score cheap political points during a crisis.

    GOOD DAY

    We have no idea what the extent without testing. In 10 days time we could be looking at a very grim reality. Border tightening does nothing for community driven infections and inability to track those individuals.

    How do you give credit when the 'amazing' was achieved by controlling the number of tests?....... nice dictatorship?

    You just turn a blind eye to that because that what the Supreme Leader wants you to do.
