He got at least 1200 more DJI points off this conference. It's ok to ask the private sector to assist, and it's good for people generally to know that walmart, target, etc. weren't shutting down.
Still nothing about employment compensation though, unless I missed it.
Fauci is proving to be pretty politically savvy though.
But there were no actual ideas presented and no timeline for when it would be done. It was just projecting certainty when there is none.
I think he really fuck up with that shits about to get much worse. We are not prepare for this at all this at all.
It's just so frustrating seeing the market rally to this moron, trying to make sense of something so nonsensical. He should have never become president in the first place. Since 2016 I still feel like we live in an alternate reality where logic no longer matters.
By that metric it seems likely that the markets will give up most/all of the gains next week as the situation continues to evolve in uncertain ways.
Of course those embarrassed Republicans will come home. They always come home. He'll still need to do something about that low approval rating because at the rate this is going, that pretty economy he inherited won't save him. And he doesn't have a figure like Hillary to bounce off of this time.
He's like a treasure trove at this point.
There's light at the end of the tunnel. We know this from China and SK in particular, when you look at their numbers with daily new cases dropping. It'll be a bumpy road, there are valid concerns about layoffs and businesses being able to survive, but there is light. A lot more than there was yesterday. The market wants to see fiscal policy and monetary policy, and it got both this week.
YUP. Plaster that shit everywhere. It's the summation of his whole approach to the presidency.
Totally. Between this, '15 cases, soon to be zero' and the hoax comments, Biden could pretty much run on coronavirus attack ads alone.
The market lost 20% of its value in 2 weeks. Of course there was going to be a rally at some point. Trump's speech likely didn't have anything to do with it.
well, big difference is they're actually trying to take steps to stop the spread of the virus and we can't even get testing out and we have no timeline for when mass testing will be ready.
Thanks, although I am applying to a few positions over the weekend that I'd actually like a lot more (not in Florida! Double the income!), so....
We haven't even hit 50 deaths or 2,000 cases. When we start getting serious numbers people will truly start panicking. We've barely seen anything yet. Look at Italy vs 2 weeks ago. Unless something drastic changes we'll be well into tens of thousands cases and over 1,000 deaths in 2 weeks.
The flow chart that that lady is holding up is the most concrete thing we've gotten in two weeks!
Entirely possible.
Huge differences.
China and SK had national moral buy-in for the social distancing asked of their societies. The US doesn't. We have the top-down technocratic response correct, but there's not an enforcement mechanism other than trusting people to collectively do the right thing even when it's against their own interests. Here in America, that means that they won't.
So I think that the expectation that we'll hit their trajectories isn't all that great. I also think that, on the other hand, we will advert the worst of the stuff we're seeing out of Italy and certainly the humanitarian disaster that will be the UK.
It's from Doctor Who, in case you aren't aware.Thanks, although I am applying to a few positions over the weekend that I'd actually like a lot more (not in Florida! Double the income!), so....
but that plan only works if testing is widely available and as of now, there's no timeline for when that will be. that was the most shocking part of the presser -- we actually have no idea when we can do mass tests.
"We have 15, soon to be zero"
"I take no responsibility"
"We only have 40"
So many quotes that will make really great ads

This is one of those realms of nerdery that escapes even my cultural osmosis.
This pathetic circle jerk will probably see his "how is Trump handling this pandemic" number shoot up 15 points. That's how dumb this country is. From him calling it a hoax just days ago to him wheeling out a bunch of rich CEO's and pumping the markets. One press conference is all it'll take.
The majority of the fundamental issues related to this virus spreading and its impact on most people have not been addressed here
