The scary part of this really is the panic that it's bringing out in otherwise rational people. I went to the Northshore Kroger with my ex-wife this morning (she insisted) and she yelled at a young clerk (maybe 18?) and made a scene because they were out of Dasani water bottles. I've seen her on her worst behavior and never seen anything like that. Embarrassing doesn't begin to describe it.

Everyone knows someone like this.. It's hard to shake off that kind of cringe.

I’m a fan of Trump, but I can’t tell whether I love or hate how he can’t have a single interaction that doesn’t stir the pot.

It's a chance to put the pressure and accountability on someone else. He never misses a chance to do that.

China
Media
Democrats
Prior administrations

But he gets an A.

The damage to our economy and the willingness for so many to conform to do exactly what the government tells them to do are the 2 more dangerous things here

Justin the effect is already happening to the economy. My company laid off over 500 employees yesterday. All management staff had to take a pay cut. I lost 30% of my pay. I will possibly lose my job in a few weeks.

There is fear everywhere. The market is tanking. I was against a shutdown but at this point we need a reset.

IMHO the best thing that can happen to the economy is to shut everything down for a week or two and let everyone get over their fear. The recovery will be much faster than prolonging this.

I am guessing you are a small business owner and understand your concerns but at some point we have to get some normalcy back or the recovery can take years instead of months.

Seems like when I'm out shopping the grocery stores the stock clerks are always bring out the wrong thing to the store shelves.....nobody needs.....like soft drinks & chips.

I quoted you yesterday asking about your dad. I didn't know if you didn't see it. Is he doing ok?

I missed your post. Thanks for asking.

Yes, he and my mother have stayed out of public for 10 days, plus. My sister runs for groceries for them as she lives 5 minutes away from them. She may move in a couple of weeks in which case we will all have to take turns making that trip.

I hope everyone here and their families are healthy and being careful.

This is a much better approach by Trump today, at least so far. Giving numbers about what's being done.

When the tough questions come I hope he just sticks to talking about what is being done and plans for increases. No blaming. Just move on to dealing with it.
