@mr-x hurting.

mr-x said:

I never said he didn't have dementia, just not while in office. As you've said, he was diagnosed Alz. 5 years after leaving office.

It was a common meme of the time, Reagan was stupid, had Alz., was too old, etc. That slander was a common theme by media and Hollywood from the beginning to the end of he presidency. They underestimated him, he kicked their asses.

The same type of crap said about Trump now, that's all.

@mr-x part of the Hollywood media complex paid off by the Soros brothers and Putin to try to diminish the Great Joe Biden. He's still going to beat Trump's ass.

Walls literally stops a virus. The whole point is to quarantine the people carrying the illness.

Enclosed walls yes, Outside walls no.

Unless you are now wanting to put a dome over the US. Is that what you want?

JB Lions said:

Yeah, but I'm talking about deaths. If it is what they think, a lot higher number of people that have it and there are going to be people that have it, think it's just the flu, recover on their own and get on with life. Then the actual death rate is probably way less than 1%. I posted the video about Ohio, she's say 100,000 could have it. But with the information at hand, right now, it's 40 deaths, 31 in Washington, which means 9 in the other 49 states. And of course anybody dying is bad but purely looking at the numbers, it's not that bad.

Maybe a passed test could be entry into these sporting events, back to school, back to life and such, failed test, self quarantine.

Fatalities so far in Texas are none, but because this is just getting off the ground, 100% of the people in my state that have tested positive for it are still sick with it, so no totals are in yet. I see the same with world stats on worldometers.info

I knew this would get killed in the comments, like Pence has no clue who the President is:

"The 15 cases within a couple of days, is going to be down to close to zero." - Donald Trump three days ago. This must be the 'irresponsible rhetoric' Pence is referring to.

How is it they have so many test kits and we don't?
They are so much more prepared with test kits then us.

If she has it then he might just have it. I'm still wondering about Trump having it and not telling us.

I wish i had an answer to your question, I am completely shocked by the CDC response to this, I have no confidence in the CDC at all, As it looks right now, The US was not even close to prepared for something like this, there is always hope that the virus could begin to dissipate on its own soon, right now it is like when it just begins to rain, some spotty drops hit the window, then it begins to pour down

Russia total cases 35 - new cases 0 - Deaths 0

Pakistan total cases 21 -new cases 0 - Deaths 0

Something in last hour made the Dow futures go from down -660 points to Up +162

Yet I cant find any news that would do that.

Now if you want to look for who is responsible for most of the Misdirection then look no further then the your boy Trump, your club the GOP

If you just said politicians, I would agree. But to ignore some of the worst offenders, you are still buying somebody's snake oil. Like I said, this has been decades in coming, and the worst offenders are those who have been in office longest. Start with the drunk lady and the doddering old man. As long as people believe that the government brings prosperity, they will continue to be suckers.

There are always rallies in crashes, even in 1929. Gives smarter people a chance to get out and cut losses.

You really like to sound like you know what you are talking about but you really don't know jack.
Do you even know anything about the markets?

I have been trading stocks and sometimes options since 1984

There are not Always crashes. that is a dumb thing to say.
There are downturns and corrections, but crashes are rare.

Only 3 that are considered actual crashes since 1929 not counting the current one we are now going through.
1929, 1987, 2008

2000 .com bubble burst wasn't a overall crash of the markets as a whole.
It hit the .com companies and the Nasdaq the hardest.

So if you are going to try and sound like you know a thing or two about the markets try and do your DD first.

Futures are now up +400 points

(Bloomberg) -- Asian stocks pared losses following the worst Wall Street session since 1987, as U.S. futures pushed higher. Still, most benchmarks remained in the red, with investors spooked that emergency fiscal and monetary packages won’t be enough to stave off a recession.

S&P 500 contracts reversed losses of as much as 3% and climbed over 2%, while futures in the U.K. saw strong gains. Losses in Japan and South Korea eased, and Australian stocks rose. Global equities are still heading for their worst week since 2008 as investors price in a severely weaker outlook due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. The U.S. benchmark lost 9.5% on Thursday.

Treasury yields fluctuated, while bonds in Australia and Japan declined, as investors rushed to raise cash. The won and rupiah sank while India’s rupee fell to a record low versus the dollar.

Investors are doubting the efficacy of policy responses as coronavirus cases continue to grow across the world and restrictions on people and businesses crush sentiment. The Bank of Japan on Friday followed an earlier move from the Federal Reserve to inject liquidity, and later offered to buy $1.9 billion of bonds in an unscheduled operation.

The Bank of Korea said it is closely monitoring bond markets and will take action if it deems it needed and Indonesia announced a second fiscal stimulus package of $1.55 billion, while the European Central Bank eased capital constraints and boosted liquidity on Thursday.

These are some of the most notable moves:

The Hang Seng Volatility Index surged 29%, has more than doubled this week.The MSCI All-Country World Index extended losses to enter bear-market territory and is now down 24% this year.The JPMorgan G7 Volatility Index of currencies is up 55% this week.The cost of insuring debt issued by Europe’s investment grade companies surged to the highest since 2016.Bitcoin plunged below $5,000.

“Everyone wants to go to cash,” Kieran Calder, head of equity research for Asia at Union Bancaire Privee, told Bloomberg TV.
