Richard Burr was kind enough to let a few of his best donors know this virus would be like the Spanish flu in the second week of February. He and his friends sold all their stock in hotels and other business he knew would be in trouble way before the public was made aware of the severity of the situation. Nothing to see here, keep your 401k for the Long haul it will come back eventually. Meanwhile he and I'm sure most politicians cashed out before we knew the problem was here.

He needs to resign. What he did was criminal. Stocks were fine when he sold Feb 13. He sold 29 stocks/holdings (that we know of)...

The upper range is 1.5 million dollars in worth, not sure what his profit was but it would be worth probably 1/4th of that today. Scumbag.

I’ll be honest I took my kidos to a waterfall today. However we washed are hands and kept distance from all people. We definitely did social distancing.

He should be in jail. There are plenty of poor people in jail for taking a small fraction of this. Insider trading,fraud whatever you call it it's still stealing.

I’m gonna make it point to get this out. He’s a piece of $hit and needs to pay for this.
 
Well my daughters got the official word from Campbell today, no more classes, finish the year online and graduation postponed. My oldest, a senior, just had a mini meltdown, realizing she will not see several of her friends anymore or at least until graduation whenever that is and if they can be there. Dang stupid virus

I’m so surprised by all the traffic on the roads still. People are antsy and just going out to go out. Groups of teens and young kids are hanging out playing everywhere. Very little social distancing.

I really think we need to restrict non essential travel to healthcare workers, grocery and pharmacy shopping. This order can only come down from the highest office....“Guidance” and “recommendations” aren’t working. People simply aren’t staying home.

As my source said it’s a step down process. Trump is letting states do their part. If they don’t then Friday to Sunday a national lockdown will be ordered. Also if the cases keep rising. If it shows signs of plateau or dropping then it won’t happen. Trump was not big on closing border with Canada but Canada was going to anyway he said. Canada also wants trade halted because of chance of virus being on items. Will be interesting how this unfolds. Lots of saber rattling going on. China dislike is growing. Oil wars. Earthquakes. Locust. Volcanoes. Stores still having hard time stocking up on foods. Unemployment growing. We’re in a recession but will it become a depression? Uneasy times and antsy times for the whole world. This virus may never go away. A lot of unknowns. I would hate to be a leader in these countries because I can’t imagine the stress they are under. They are darn if they do and darn if they don’t. Praying for ALL leaders and Nations!
 
Anyone know a supplier that still has inventory of exam grade nitrile or latex gloves and can ship within a month? I am all out of ideas the market is slim pickings right now. I feel like I've failed at my job
 
I think if and it’s a big if. If we turn into Italy then we will probably have a national shutdown. But hopefully we don’t become Italy! What’s happening in Italy is sad

I can’t imagine all the hurt and heartbreak so many are going to feel. From kids graduation, to sports seasons, to loss of friends or family, to loss of jobs. This just sucks.

We won’t be like Italy. Like I’ve said before, Italy was a ticking time bomb. This virus was a perfect storm for them unfortunately.

My company has them but we will limit the cases you can buy.

Yes but that’s what is up in air. Teachers in TN have to work 200 days. Well obviously that is not happening and state can’t answer if they will be paid.

Home learning doesn’t count? Here in Georgia they are getting paid thankfully. My wife is a 8th grade teacher here.

Close up of President @realDonaldTrump notes is seen where he crossed out "Corona" and replaced it with "Chinese" Virus as he speaks with his coronavirus task force today at the White House. #trump #trumpnotes

People here in Mississippi don’t have a care in the world about this pandemic meanwhile I’m in quarantine because I was out of the country last week

It is clear to me after driving around today, we are in trouble. Our economy is going to crater and it is going to take years to recover. There are so many people just rolling around, milling about, and acting like there is nothing going on. This is going to be a long, rolling ordeal with this half baked quasi-shutdown of random things. I don't have a lot of hope that summer will end this, and we certainly are not looking at herd immunity anytime soon.

At the current rate, we are about 1 out through the top of the first inning. Unless we depart from this current approach, we are screwed.

The superintendent told her today to plan to stay out for the school year. She isn’t happy. The home learning thing has been a pain with technology issues etc. she was told not to give homework that takes more then 30 mins a day.

Haven't gotten that talk yet, but I'm betting we aren't going back in April. I'm a first year teacher (been in education for 12 years before becoming a teacher) and this is NOT how I wanted to end the first year! I was looking forward to celebrating with my 3rd graders! I got my fingers crossed this whole thing isn't as bad as it could be!
