COVID-19 Coronavirus UPDATES, BANS, CLOSURES, ADVISORY, etc.

The details will matter. Elected officials normally have their portfolios managed “blind” where they can make no day to day decisions for this very reason. Moreover, all such sales have to be disclosed. Hardly possible to hide them. In fact, this story was fed by the disclosure process. The senate deals with a budget every year and members are aware of likely winners and losers in all sorts of industries well before the general public. They do not take advantage of that sort of “insider” knowledge. I would not be surprised if the “guilty” parties were astute asset managers rather the actual members.

It was a bit obvious what was coming... so as presumably they have top people managing their accounts they acted accordingly....

I follow the numbers from Seattle very closely because I’m very familiar with the healthcare systems there and because i still have good friends on the front lines.

interesting data:


19336 tested (symptomatic)
1376 positive (7%)

74 deaths

those under 60 are 69% of positives and 15% of deaths

those over 60 are 31% of positives and 85% of deaths.

keep in mind 35 of those deaths are from one life care center.

Heard on Fox news. They may allow people to take 10% out of 401k without taxes. Heard no particulars

The problem with that is a lot of 401k are now 301k.

Maybe but I would invest in the same fund in a taxable account. Then you could harvest tax loses. Probably won't qualify for this anyway. But they want money put into economy.

Now imagine all the things those 10 in Tucson touched and people they met and all those incubators waiting to “hatch.” It spreads like wildfire for sure.
4tsp bleach per quart of water or 5 tablespoons per gallon. I’ve sprayed everything in my house including the walls. I spray it, let it sit a minute then wipe with a rag. Our house had never been so clean and haven’t had to resort to counting rice just yet. we follow the Seattle cases closely as well since their fire dept was heavily impacted by that one care center

How many cases do you have now?

Our Governor in Arizona is deploying the National guard to help in the unloading restocking of grocery stores, and whatever else they may be needed for?

We had 5 cases last week in the greater Tucson area, it has increased to 10.

Confirmed cases 19.980

Deaths 1.002

I'm grabbing the proverbial Bull by the horns, and trying to scrounge up some work with my other sources. Told them I'm not worried about all the panic, and fear mongering. Hopefully, be working next week.

The company I do work for hasn't been very transparent.

Onward, thru the fog!

Love this guy. Former Secret Service agent. Truth & logic.

Watch it, if you have a little time.

It has taken the virus 14 weeks to go from 0-125,000 cases.

It has taken the virus 9 days to go from 125,000-250,000.

Got a call from a close relative wigging out after reading a bunch of NY Times fake news. I told her the Russians and other enemies of the U.S. are spreading false information in a concerted effort to make Trump, his administration and his response to the virus look incompetent. After watching today's press conference, I'm convinced some of the reporters are getting some sort of payment directly or indirectly from foreign agents. Either that or they're dumb as a bag of hammers.

I agree. The MSM is engaged in promoting full time hysteria and panic. Leftists will never let a tragedy go to waste. They want to do anything they can to torpedo Trumps chances of reelection.

From a forum I frequent:


Laura Ingraham had a doctor from New York’s Lenox Hill hospital on with her last night who explained that they are already using Hydroxychloroquine to treat acute coronavirus patients and are seeing tremendous results.

https://therightscoop.com/watch-ny-...oronavirus-patients-and-have-had-zero-deaths/

Dr. William Grace told Ingraham that they have 100 patients and have had zero deaths after the use of Hydroxychloroquine.
Hydroxychloroquine is the less toxic version of Chloroquine.
Grace said that a big reason older people die from the coronavirus is that their lungs fill up with fluid as part of an immune response to the virus. Hydroxychloroquine works, Grace notes, in both inhibiting the immune response and inhibiting the replication of the virus.
This is really great news and affirms what we are hearing is happening in other countries, as Ingraham points out. Hopefully it will serve as both a cure for the virus and perhaps even a vaccine.

When smart people put their mind and resources to a dire problem, remarkable things can and do happen. Especially when the cause is good and just.

If you are bored with watching 24/7 news channels, take time to watch the 1960 classic, "Sink the Bismark." Feel free to replace "Bismark" with "COVID-19"

Why would the post office still delivering junk mail. Unbelievable.

I wish they would ban junk mail.
