What weve done right:
Ban travel from SE Asia.
Ban travel from European countries that dont controll their borders for 30 days.
President and his team reaches out and got all these big venue events to cancel out large gatherings, sports world, business,then univ,state local govts followed suite. ** This is huge** FLATTEN THE CURVE THEORY.
Proppossed and hopefully today get passage of remaining massive economic releif. From banks,small business,consumer,American individual.
Tried to stave off panic pre arrival coronovirus. ( see what went wrong below).
Administration consistently reminding all of us. This isnt the end of of the world. We will get through it.
Everyday American citizen, outside toliet paper rush most everyone has banded together like we always do.
Southernwx board. Lot of great ideas,info shared in here.
- More exposure to our next catastrophe. Supply Chain is in bed with China way to much. Need to get back to made in USA. Espeacilly pharmaceuticals and steel.

What has went wrong:
Failed to stave off panic, [ wall street]. President tried, statements are recorded in history. Didnt work

Testing kits. Presidents team owning this botched deal. This one didnt expose itself till the day we needed them. Now having to react to. We are a week to 10 days from fully rectifying.
Politicizing this event. Viewing it as a gift wrapped knock out punch. "Never waste a good crisis". Sorry but the DNC and Mainstream Media are in lockstep on this.
Flip side President spending to much wasted time having to lay out, defend his actions against this constantly. The biggest farce was the play hes got vp runing this when it should be doctors,med profession. That whole response team is working together on lock step,doing a great job. The best of the best are on it .
** yes Pres made several ghaffes in his pre arrival of corno virus statements. Was it attempt to keep markets calm, or he truly beleived at time? Probably a mix of both. But that play is over. Its on to the next play. You can go back and re do that play.

Trying to keep it real.

Since this is a clear right-wing statement, please also mention that House Democrats are trying to sneak in the abolition of taxpayer paid abortions into a bill designed to help this country fight the outbreak. It's a loophole in the Hyde Amendment.

Also the President and his team had nothing to do with sports events cancelling. They did this on their own, or based on what states have limited.

Edit: This kind of politicized statement is what helps spead fear and misinformation. Please do everyone a favor and not post stuff like this.

IndyCar also postponing. I believe that is the last of the sporting events scheduled to be postponed/canceled

UFC events will still be held at their complex in Vegas, closed to the public, but still televised.

Also, debate if you want if it's a sport or not, but Pro Wrestling (WWE and AEW) will still be running shows.

Apparently they weren't going to do a practice run so a few teams cut bait and left, which is how it got postponed.

Postponed because of the virus. They had cut down the weekend schedule to bare minimum and then decided to postpone altogether, i believe
 
When this virus has slowed the economic impacts are going to be felt for a long time. Here is something to think about. Let’s say it slows and a vaccine is developed but like the flu comes back and is different strain. Do we close everything again? Anyone want to bet the world economies will survive a second wave?

Your wrong on the sports deal, he called and collaborated with some contacts ,then they pitched off to their contacts. Also to the states as well. Lot of collaboration from the team himself and state govts. Go back and listen to California Govenor 2 days ago.
Pres has also ghaffed, I pointed that out. Is what it is. Fair and balanced my friend. We got a long ways to go, Admin No doubt has whiffed on a couple and hit on a couple. This isnt fear ,panick whatever you deemed. Its factual.

The vast majority of court cases do not have a jury, I mean I understand the move but the backlog this will create in the court system is going to be problematic.

Good question. In other countries everything is shut down. So many say this will not be as bad as 9/11. Hope they are right.

Don’t think we should compare this with anything. This is its own evil and will set history moving forward. Just crazy.

The courts are packed daily, probably one of the best places to spread it because being sick isn't a reason to not appear before a judge

I agree with the choice to suspend. How are court clerks paid? Anyone know?
 
Welp my building in downtown Raleigh just sent out a Notice saying they are testing somebody for Coronavirus currently. I have been extremely cautious this past week plus. Using stairs, sanitizing and washing etc. Mainly because I have a dad with Cancer but Man this certainly makes you wonder why my employer hasn't said work from home. Seems silly now because I'm fully able to.

Yes. Bombshell incoming. Might close don domestic flights. Keep in mind, this is still the beginning. Whatever the president says here in a couple hours, it won’t be good. I’m at the grocery store now about to pick up a few more cases of beer and some canned goods.

Listen to the helpless pleas of this healthcare worker from Iran: "Please take #CoronaVirus seriously. Don't come out of your homes. We healthcare workers are exhausted. We cannot cope with it any longer".

Due to the negligence of authorities, the virus has spread all over Iran https://t.co/Q4udfdj0b4

 
My supervisor is checking with everyone today to see if we are able to work from home if our office is closed.

But look how many people the flu kills every year :rolleyes: At least we are not hearing that any more.

I think Trump will announce an emergency declaration this afternoon activating FEMA and other organizations.
