Then go to YouTube and Replay some of Barry’s greatest hits . That should hold you over for a while .

Barry didn't have any of those greatest hits.......youtube says......sorry.

And a private sale like that--for which there is no market or market price--was probably in the works for awhile.

No doubt. Depending on the size, those things can take 6 months to a year, easily.

I already said that I don't like Burr, but how can you prove anything about when or why a politician sells his/her stocks?

Juries manage to figure these things out on a daily basis, and in those cases, people don’t resign in shame from their salaried job that involves a high degree of responsibility.

The fact that they had access to confidential information (briefing on 1/23) is good evidence.
A subsequent change in trading pattern is good evidence.
Proximity to the receipt of confidential information would be good evidence.
Recorded, private comments that indicate a dim view of the financial outlook based on said information received in the performance of their duties is evidence.
Whether or not the trades were inconsistent with their prior pattern of trading is evidence.

And, again, not saying “go to jail.” I’m saying they need to resign their reasonably well salaried job that vests them a high degree of responsibility to essentially be the face and voice of millions of people in the senate, where they’re expected to use good judgment and participate in the oversight and management of trillions of dollars in public funds.

The burden of proof is, IMO, a bit lower, for that.

Look at the numbers. There's a reason they are doing what they are doing. Unlike Trump who acts out of uninformed impulse.

Just admit it, you are hoping people die so you can say " I'm right "

I would love to hear the supreme court battle about any right you perceive as laid out in the constitution.

You can read about them until your hearts content . I don’t have a to perceive anything , I just read what it says

So, you think Italy's healthcare system is contributing to the mortality rates?

I think it could be contributing to the spread. If it was caught on its heels which appears to be the case, a snowball effect can occur.

If their supply chain is compromised and cant get basic needs like masks and isopropyl alcohol and antiseptics then the system help contributed to the problem.

What "right" are you talking about then?

 

[hUTch2002]

It is more about the quantity that we use..... each patient you are with requires a new mask so we go through an extreme amount per day..... There is also a really big issue with people stealing these masks or hiding them.

Don’t forget all of the people from China gobbling them up and shipping them home. That made a huge dent.

No, its distressing that in this time of crisis we have someone in charge who is so clearly in way, way over his head.

Don't worry. Just because the Messiah is no longer around to lead you through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, doesn't mean you won't make it..

Latest numbers from the CDC:

Deaths: 201
Cases: 15,219

201 divided by 15,219 =0.0132071752

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the U.S.

I'd say we have the benefit or their experience in this. Seems as though some of our lager cities and their greater area are fairly comparable to the areas of which Italy is having the crisis.

I'm hoping we are paying attention..

I read the other day that Northern Italy specifically (Lombardy) has one of the oldest populations in all of Europe. Italy's population pyramid overall isn't much different from, say, Germany's. Neither is their smoking rate. But I think the really high average age of Lombardy has a lot to do with it.

What's interesting though is that Japan also has a very old population, even older than Italy, and they are managing much better.

Correct.

This adds to the issues as well.

Officially it began in Feb. 20, when a 38-year-old man checked himself into a local hospital in the town of Codogno in Lombardy. He tested positive with the virus, becoming the first recorded patient with the COVID-19 virus in Italy.
Yet some health officials believe that the virus arrived in Italy long before the first case was discovered. “The virus had probably been circulating for quite some time,” Flavia Riccardo, a researcher in the Department of Infectious Diseases at the Italian National Institute of Health tells TIME. “This happened right when we were having our peak of influenza and people were presenting with influenza symptoms.”
Before the first case was reported, there was an unusually high number of pneumonia cases recorded at a hospital in Codogno in northern Italy, the head of the emergency ward Stefano Paglia told the newspaper La Repubblica, suggesting it is possible patients with the virus were treated as if they had a seasonal flu. Health facilities hosting these patients could have become sites for infection, helping proliferate the spread of the virus.

What "right" are you talking about then?

The only right you mentioned . Guns / arms/ firearms all same same .

 

[Stew Cook]

China has virtually all the masks and protective gear. I hope you don't actually believe this.

 

[hUTch2002]

I work in healthcare...... we are still receiving surgical masks, gowns, and gloves. The problem at hospitals with active Coronavirus outbreaks is that each person that enters a room has to clothe up..... that leads to 1,000’s being used and thrown away daily.... then you have staff that is worried and hides PPE so that they know they will have access..... it adds up and overwhelms the system..... At the hospital here, they had to remove the masks from around visitors bc so many people were coming in and stealing them.

So you are basically saying that it isn’t actually Trump’s fault like all the Dems are screeching.

The market didn't start going down until a month later. Anybody else sell stocks then, or was Burr the only guy in the country?

Guns are the arm of capitalism as laid out in our history, true.

Do you not remember that happening early on?

 

[hog88]

Look at the numbers, imbecile. There's a reason they are doing what they are doing. Unlike Trump who acts out of uninformed impulse.

You are correct. It’s an election year and their numbers look like ****. Totally justifies what havoc they are reeking.

That makes a difference. imo.

It will definitely be interesting to see how our healthcare system tacked this. I am betting we fair pretty good.

 

[0nelilreb]

To bear arms is the right of a citizen of the United States . Per our constitution , not per our capitalist society.

 

[Stew Cook]

I imagine there may have been an isolated case or so, but... I'd say if so, it has been blown way out of proportion. Seems like panic theft was happening across the board.

 

[Electric Orange]

Because it's hard for old people to live alone in isolated areas, because grouping the old people together would result in disaster if one of them got infected, because it's harder for them to distance themselves if a higher percentage of the population is carrying the virus, probably a number of other reasons

So giving them a few more years is more important than building immunity in people who have only experienced a fraction of the time alive that older people already did?
