I've lost quite a bit of money in the last few days but it's mitigated by the fact that Trump is facing re-election and his "great" economy might be impacted by FACTS.
I love to hear reports of Trump being upset.

They don't come more incompetent than this asshole. And, his brain-dead cult followers think he's in there to help them. Fools.

(63,221 posts)To hell with everyone else and whether people live or die. All that matters is the optics. If it doesn't make him look good, it's bad. He doesn't care about keeping the public informed and healthy. He only cares about his re-election chances. What a repulsive excuse for a human being.

A virus. A bunch of cells that can simultaneously kill even his supporters and the stock market at the same time.

The Genealogist
(4,723 posts)The callous response to a potential public health disaster from a bloviating orange sociopath is to gripe about the stock market. He sees the stock market as a success and that mean old virus is just wrecking it all for him. There aren't enough adjectives in the English language to fully capture just what a horrid excuse for a human being he is. No worriss for him. His buddies over at FAUX and fhe AM hate radio machine will make sure the cultists are fed bullshit about it.
gordianot
(15,237 posts)He simply cannot shut the hell up or contain his ignorance.
The Genealogist
(4,723 posts)This is just the latest evidence of that point. All he can do is fume, screech, bloviate, air grievances, grift and golf. The only reason he is president is because he hates all the right people. This country is starving for a firm, capable hand on the wheel of state.

(9,426 posts)family got the virus, I would be SO sad. Yeah, right. If HE came down with it, maybe he would finally see how serious this is. If Ivanka got it, her kids would be safe since she does not spend much time with them. Constantly travelling and getting her selfies with foreign dignitaries.
The Genealogist
(4,723 posts)His lackluster concern about the virus seems odd. No doubt he is listening to the wrong sycophant on this issue, someone who is downplaying the gravity of a possible pandemic. Considering his age and health the virus would do a number on him.

muriel_volestrangler
(101,312 posts)the world are working like the CDC is; and stock markets around the world are also dropping (and the drops started with the increase in cases in South Korea, Iran and Italy). His chauvinistic bubble is so fact-tight that he cannot imagine a world outside the USA, even when he is himself outside it.

not fooled
(5,801 posts)Literally, he puts Wall Street > humans.
He and his robber baron buddies think they are isolated enough from the general populace to avoid getting the infection, and they don't care if some peasants die.

(29,199 posts)so there is good news about corona virus... for the past 3 days there have been more "outcomes" (i.e. deaths or recoveries) than there have been reported new cases. This means the total number of infected people is declining... 1500 fewer people have corona virus every day,,, IF the trend continues and there isn't a new explosion of infections... we are 30 days away from this being over.
That's a big "IF"... but one can hope.
Raftergirl
(1,285 posts)For the first time, more new cases have been reported outside China than inside, according to the World Health Organization. The number of new cases reported in China on Tuesday was 411; in the rest of the world, the number was 427. The total number of cases globally has now reached 80,980 and nearly 3,000 have died.
In the European Union, which prides itself on its open borders among member nations, new cases were recorded in Austria, Croatia, France, Germany, Greece, Spain and Switzerland. Most were tied to Italy, where the authorities have been struggling to contain an outbreak that has infected at least 325 people, most of them in the north near Milan.
There is really no way to stop it from spreading, imo.

It's from John Hopkins
spinbaby
(15,090 posts)China seems to have slowed the rate of spread, which is a good thing. On the other hand, its popping up all over the world, which is ominous.

(29,199 posts)If the trend holds up.
It is possible (even likely) that the trend will not hold.
