Well, i'm from italy and here situation is bad. We are forced to stay home until 4 of April, most of the business are closed, only food markets, pharmacy and transportation are able to work..
I think that America is understimating the problem to their national healthcare system.. too many people infected it is a problem for hospitals because they don't have enough space and people to cure everyone..

It will, supposedly, hit the valley in two or three week and it will be a good time to buy.

Because Trump could actually cure cancer tomorrow and the deranged left would find something to kick, cry, and scream about.

The terrible burden of being a leader... Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Washington was one of the most popular people in the new Union right up until he got elected president... then he became one of the most loathed figures of the time because he did something he thought he shouldn't--run for President. He took his peer's advice and did so anyway.

Yes, someone is always going to hate what you do. Reagan had his share of "terrible press." So did Clinton. If you want recent examples, look at how hard the right fought Obama on everything... even to the point of denying him his Constitutionally granted right to appoint a SCOTUS Justice.

You can cry "oh but the media and critics" but you have to do what's right despite the criticism because doing nothing is worse. To quote, "There is a fine line between consideration and hesitation. The former is wisdom, the latter is fear." Please, cry some more about how terrible the media is. It's not the media who gets to be final arbitrator; it's the voters by electing (or rather re-electing or not), justices (by hearing what can and can't be used in a court of law), and finally by history, who is often the final authority on what was right, wrong, or just plain stupid. Yet all he seems to do is sit in his damned office worried about optics, not about what's right, wrong, or worthy of action.

To end, I'll just leave a little fun troll here: Liberal tears are bland and tasteless because they always flow so easily. Conservative tears are salty and full of vigor because it's hard to get at them, but when they do come... boy are they tasty!

23 people per million have been tested in the US. The administration chose to make their own test kit instead of using the one the WHO developed, then failed and is now using the WHO's anyways putting us back weeks in disease prevention. The director of the CDC literally came out the other day and said he literally had no idea how many people have been tested, then recommended a study by a conservative think tank estimating how many people might have been tested.


I don't care if you're on the right or the left, this is going to be worse than Katrina levels of bungling. We had literally almost two months to prepare. Instead we had the President go to the public accusing alarmism of simply being leftist noise attempting to inhibit his reelection.

You bet your ass the """deranged left""" is going to call it his Chernobyl, because orders of magnitude more people are going to die in the next month than were affected by the Chernobyl disaster as a direct result of our administration's failure to act.

Well, that's not very hard as Chernobyl only had 30 direct deaths and 60 deaths since; even very long-term estimates extrapolating the increase of cancer deaths at old age only count about 4000 deaths. Chernobyl was an absolute fuckup of legendary proportions, but nuclear disasters just aren't nearly as scary as the media makes them out to be. The Fukushima disaster, which remained in the news for ages after the Japanese earthquake and tsunami killed over 15000 people, caused only 1 death so far, with long-term death toll (again people dying of cancer at old age) will likely be just several hundred. 2200 people died from the panicked evacuation though, because nuclear energy is scary so we better get back to pumping burned coal into the atmosphere.

(For comparison, Italy has over 1000 deaths so far on a population of 60 million. Scaling to the US, the US will probably have at least 5500 deaths even if they don't mess up worse than Italy - which they will, Trump or not.)
