    One of our competitors (well a couple actually) still have their salesman out visiting accounts, we pulled ours when the NBA cancelled their season... one of their reps just died from the virus. 41 years old. Fucking assholes man.

    Mostly I would say. Testing has been ramped up significantly this week. Still some massive increases. Moreso just shows Nj is going to be the disaster NY is with about a week lag time

    Studies have shown no benefit to intercessory prayer, other than to make those doing the praying feel like they're doing something, and in some cardiac cases it might be counterproductive if the recipient of the prayers knows people are praying for them, they realize HOLY SHIT I MUST BE IN BAD SHAPE, get stressed, and release extra cortisols that then lead to worse outcomes.

    Widespread forced sales of endowment assets during a market crash is not exactly productive when part of the idea is to stop the market from crashing further.

    Quick question: if you make more than 75k but less than 100k in 2020, the 1200 counts as a loan?

    19 new deaths in one day? Ohio is at 15 total as of today.

    I wasn't a fan of DeWine during election season, but I think he's been outstanding during this, and was one of the firsts to take major action.

    Said the other day our hospitals are only at 60% capacity so that’s also encouraging news.

    The reaction and inaction to the stranded cruise ships have been one of the saddest stories in this whole tragedy, IMO. Yeah, let’s keep them all on board confined to recirculating cabin air to ensure they all get infected.

    Trump’s position on that is reprehensible, as were the other countries who refused to allow them to disembark, and the state governors who turned them away. Just sickening.

    Then again, they are cruise ships...

    Most of what I’ve heard/read seems to say the heavy rush for hospitals hasn’t hit yet, which sucks. I’m sure others can confirm or clarify.

    Long ass conspiracy theory but follow me here: Trump gets briefing a few months ago that Covid-19 is coming to America and its going to be bad. Good news is we have a play book for this that the NSC gave him the day he took office. We need millions of testing kits (which the WHO has offered), production of ventilators, PPE, and triage beds for thousands of hospitals (which he is allowed to get going with the DPA), and immediate lock down of the entire country which he can tell community leaders to announce and then monitor. If we get started today we can flatten the curve.

    He then has another briefing that projects markets will plummet but over 12-18 months recover if we are proactive. Problem is all he has going for him is the markets and he doesn't have 12-18 months, he has 10. Any one of his sycophant enablers could have suggested that the best way to help his cronies, billionaire donors and stockholders is to.... do nothing. When things get dire congress will start legislation to help businesses and he can puppet McConnell, Graham, etc. to pass legislation to bailout his friendly corporations, industries and most importantly, his properties. He keeps his circle small so this thinking doesn't leak out and gets to work doing absolutely nothing. Covid-19 goes wild, people and businesses shut down, need money and eventually the bailout is agreed to. Markets surge but this is a bandaid on an amputated arm.

    And so, that's where we are. We could have never seen this coming, he's not at fault its China's fault and we are working to flatten the curve by actively doing nothing while the medical community is on their own to save Americans. He has no empathy toward the faceless population especially minorities so life is not a component in this. And worst of all the plan... worked perfectly. Money will be pumped into the economy by leveraging the future. He has no view of the future beyond November so even if he loses he protected his buddies and his own property. And there's no reason to say that his properties were exempt from getting money. The corporations that are getting bailed out will purchase rooms at Mar-a-Lago and everywhere else that no one stays in for months on end to float them (with our taxpayer bailout money). He has guarantees that he will be taken care of when he exits office as well. Problem solved.

    I hate trump but this is giving him far too much credit. He heard about it, pretended it wasn’t a big deal, pretended it wasn’t there, panicked for a few days when he thought it was bad, then realized stocks>American lives cause he saw it on Fox News and here we are.

    I spoke with a medical director for a regional hospital in AL a few days ago, and he said that they expect the wave to hit them in 2 weeks or less. They are hopeful to be able to sustain the wave, but they do not have what they would like to have in PPE and ventilators should it be as bad as they think it could be, unsurprisingly. Even worse than the potential equipment shortage is the potential staffing shortages if the wave is too large. He also told me that, as of when we spoke, the lab they’ve been sending their tests to had a capacity of completing 2 tests every 45 minutes. I do not know how many hospitals this lab was completing tests for at the time, nor do I know many other labs in Alabama were approved to complete the tests, but that was a testing capacity at this lab for a whopping total of 64 per 24 hours. No one really knows how big this wave will be yet.

    Tips:

    1. Ignore any Trump supporters
    2. Just read posts with at least X likes (I usually do 5-8 depending on how much I have to catch up on)

    You're assuming people around him who aren't in the final stages of dementia aren't in his ear trying to save their precious markets. Goldman Sachs, Citgroup, Eli Lilly, Ford, The Foremost Group, and pretty much any company in the US owned by a Russian gonna need that bailout money.
