Larry Kudlow now on COVID-19... Jesus [View all]

He sounds exactly like that character in EVERY disaster movie you've ever seen, the one that doesn't fully appreciate how serious the situation is and wants to control the message to keep the party going.

Remember the Mayor in JAWS? "We're not shutting down the beach on July 4th because of a fish."

Remember William Holden, the builder throwing a huge bash on the top floor of THE TOWERING INFERNO? "The fire is twenty floors beneath us, now have some champagne and enjoy the panoramic view."

Remember the officials in THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW telling Dennis Quaid there's "nothing to worry about"?

Kudlow: "North American auto production is just fine... We need to settle down... On the whole, we don't see any evidence of supply side disruptions... To be honest with you, at the moment, I don't see much.. It looks okay, and ordinary families should take comfort..."
