I have been talking to and texting with various experts and public health officials and I really can't overstate the amount of frustration, anger and concern about how we're dealing with Coronavirus.

The containment failed, not that there was much of an effort here.

They say the virus is beyond containment, but that the reason they don't want to declare it a global pandemic is partly because they don't want countries to give up on attempted containment.

couple hours ago,we are in deep trouble with the Virus as well as the markets. He eluded too,sure seems it is all about the Orange Anus reelection. BTW,the Fed is now in deep trouble with this rate cut today. Other members of the G 7 are miffted that USA went ahead with a rate cut because it now causes Members to not be able to bail out the Glob in the near future.

zero to help or strengthen the underlying economic woes. Nothing went into R&D,only went to Stock Buy Backs and Bonus's. Plus,more than 40% of those Tax Breaks went to Foreign investors.
