Trump is going to give a speech at 6 pm re coronavirus.

He can't stand anyone or anything else getting more attention than himself.

This thing is overrated and will turn into a big nothing burger that screws with the stock market a little.

Roughly 80,000 people per year die from the flu in the US alone. This won't touch that total. US infections won't touch that number.

I hope this is correct.

How much time do you really think he will spend talking about the coronavirus? Somehow he will praise himself and blame democrats. Mark my words.

Someone will be working and providing services to our customers if we are not. Call that greed if you want but protecting my business and the paychecks of our employees is top priority. How many people do you know that are 2 paychecks away from losing their azz?

I don't know. Based on the behavior of some of mine, they don't seem that worried.

When did I say I wanted extreme measures?
I have said that I thought it was appropriate that people known to have the virus or to have been exposed to the virus have a mandatory period of quarantine.
I think everyone agrees with that. Except for Hog - who says it shouldn't be mandatory, but that people who transmit the virus in public should be prosecuted. (we can discuss the lunacy of that position some other time)

You were ok with China locking up houses, arrestingnpeople on street corners, and called for quarantines here. That's extreme.

Odds are good that for the TV show he'll have a script someone else wrote.

But then by the next tweet he'll be back to bashing media and the Democrats.

The people advocating we lock down people potentially infected or whole communities but would have been against doing so when HIV started spreading.

People should be concerned about their own safety. People that are going to rely on their government for protection, to save them, are going to be disappointed. Whether it be this virus, a natural disaster, or simply someone breaking into your home, reliance on the government is risky and a gamble. A gamble I'm not willing to take.

Not me but I'm in my 40s. This type of situation also shows people a rainy day fund is truly needed.

What do you produce if you don't mind me asking?

I had 12 deer in the back yard this morning and we’ve got that hippie prepper down the road so food isn’t a big worry.

I dont know. I never listen to his drivel. It's the same as all the other presidents before him (in my life time).

Half of its praise to all the great work down, thanks to the leadership they showed, a quarter about the issues faced, and a quarter pandering/emotional appeal.

You can break down any presidential speech the same way.

What if they are carriers with no signs? You going to then prosecute the virus for being sneaky?
