On face the nation this morning Margaret was talking to the head of

one of the major air shippers. He said his business is doing good. He also said that China is about back to 90% operational with no new cases of Covid-19. While Trump et al are still preaching doomsday with no relief until September or so.

If only there was a source for information that we could believe and trust, you know, like say, our government?

We are at the beginning of this thing---China went through it already.

Did she also report the increasing numbers of cases of Coronavirus?

Trump may be "preaching doomsday" to your ears....but to me he's still trying to minimize how bad it might be. He's not doing his job to get our hospitals and healthcare workers the supplies they need....and he has never listened to the experts about how we need to go forward.

I just need to look at the news out of Italy and Iran to know that I don't want our country to be in that situation.

My business has already taken the hit---I'm going to hunker down for the next 8 weeks and then look out the window and see if doomsday came or not.

that China is about 90 percent operational since Covid struck in December. Us got hit a month later and at this time the DOW has dropped ten thousand points. Trump is silent about the 10,000 points but is routinely on the TV with no new or positive information about Covid-19. His motivation is to ignore the 10,000 point Dow drop. His economy was already tanking at the end of a 10 year bull market. The fed has been pumping trillions of dollars into the market for a long time trying to hold off the crash until after the election. Situation is bad made a lot worse by Trump trying to hide his collapsing market.
