Coronavirus News Conference

Dow futures down 1231 or 5.2% at740 am!

Chinese officials were wanted and arrested by Canada law enforcement.  It appears the virus was stolen from Canada which was probably given from the USA.

China made a boo boo and now its out and no one will stop it.  But from midnights view its Trumps fault because of the testing.   Regulation always stifles progress.  

Trump will regret claiming the stock market. He owned it on the way up and owns it on the way to the bottom.

Tru dat sundance

My view is that Trump wasted 7 weeks claiming the virus was a Democratic hoax.

He fired the expert pandemic response personnel 2 years ago and never replaced him. He doesn't believe in science and didn't think their expertise was needed. 

His poor decisions will cost American lives.

NY Attorney General sent a Cease & Desist Notice to Alex Jones for claims his toothpaste, dietary supplements and creams will prevent and cure coronavirus.

The AG says Jones through his website fraudulently claims his products area a "stop-gate" against this virus and the US government has said his SuperBlue toothpaste "kills the whole SARS-corona family at point blank range."

New York became aware of Jones’s false claims after they were flagged online by Media Matters for America, a self-described progressive policy group that says it works to correct conservative “misinformation,” the attorney general’s office said. 

Per Trump, everyone coming into the country is being tested for the virus.

That is absolute bullshit.

This farker just can't stop lying. The only one I trust now is Dr. Fauci.

Mnuchin says the Treasury can pump $200 billion of stimulus into the economy by allowing people to delay paying their personal income taxes. Yes, but that would soon be followed by $200 billion pumped OUT of the economy when they paid. Duh. Someone needs to tell Mnuchin there's a big producer opening in Hollywood now that Weinstein is gone & he should head back there.

How about suspending mortgage payments like Italy did?

2 weeks ago today, Trump addressed the American people saying there were 15 coronavirus cases and it was likely heading to zero. Today we crossed 1200 with 37 dead, and it’s only because of lack of testing that we’re not in the tens of thousands. This man’s words mean nothing.

I recommend you own the stock market.   This is a great engineered hysteria for the people with capital to invest.    History proves over and over. Do not fear these times embrace them.

What does the Govt have to do with mortgages?  Did you not learn from 2008 housing crisis?    Why punish the free market?   Govt runs a huge deficit maybe we need to cut spending?  Sound like you are for a tax cut all together.  Ok midnight we finally agree on something.

Engineered hysteria, huh.

If you had invested when Larry Kudlow advised to "buy on the dip" 3 weeks ago, you would be down 26%.

That is my "airtight" opinion on the market right now. Our stop loss philosophy has saved us a ton while giving us the cash available to jump back in when we know more about what the hell is going on in our country and the world. 

Two of our grandchildren share a laptop. In lieu of schools closing and doing homework from their house, my wife and I purchased a new laptop for them.

Now it's my son's problem on which child gets to use the new device. 

That's payback for him being a pain in the ass teenager years ago.

Some athletes have a great year when they are available for a new contract. CC Sabathia, Tracy McGrady, Randy Moss & my favorite example was "Le Grand Orange" Rusty Staub. 

If Dr. Fauci were a free agent, he could name his salary right now.

Do the letters CDC mean anything to you ?!  What role and responsibilities should they have undertaken weeks ago ? What good are they if they don't provide leadership in times of crisis? 

Yeah,  I was never a fan of him doing this.  As a president,  this isn't your job, and creates unnecessary risk.  I would call it "leading with your chin."

I miss your point.

What leadership have they provided? What did they do when they learned of the virus about 8 weeks ago? Why are test kits not readily available? The CDC has the power to ensure people get tested whether they have insurance or not. Why did it take your state's Katie Porter to get the head of the CDC to approve testing for Americans with or without insurance? Why didn't they provide guidance to the governors of our states? They designed a flawed test which took weeks to resolve but didn't tell anyone of the failure. The  CDC shunned the WHO test guidelines which further compounded the issue allowing the virus to go undetected. The CDC announced on February 14th that surveillance  testing  would begin in 5 key cities including NYC, Chicago, LA, San Fran & Seattle. This testing still hasn't begun.

I could go on but why bother. The CDC farked up.

Do you really want to go there and talk about the 3 trillion in debt Trump has added?

All of a sudden you weren't a fan of him tying his future to the market. What a farking phoney!

Next you'll be saying, I didn't really want to vote for him but but but but I hated Hillary so much.

The initial point was, if the CDC did their frickin' job, we wouldn't be in this predicament.   My frustration isn't towards you, but the ineptitude of our federal agency.   Seriously,  what else do they do the other 364 days of the year there.  I feel like pulling a Bill Belichick  on them... Do your Job !! 

Tone it down, MIDNIGHT.. maybe it comes as a surprise to you that I actually think for myself and can criticize Trump as I see fit.. That speaks volumes about you,  are you a hook,  line , and sinker Democrat  ?  Will you openly criticize people that you overall support,  even if you disagree w some of their policies    ??

they will just randomly talk

The netherlands are so weak with their decisions regarding corona ..

Have you watched videos of victims?  Are you like every other tool and just watch cnn?   Search Youtube corona victims.   Why are there so few videos? Why has it taken months to see a victim speak out about it?  Just now we hear from them when we see every kind of video constantly live feed, tik tok etc and we can only just now see a couple of victims?  Wake the fuck up!   The market is close to bottom and now videos start popping up?   

Yeah he would be laughed out of the building.   The CDC and medical community screwed the pooch.  They did it on purpose...   CDC " OMG we are all going to die, we need more money."   lick it up tool that's govt bullshit 101!   

We have no test kits because govt regulations crew it up always!!!!!!    Yet you want govt to run your healthcare?
