While media and some are focused on the cases and deaths. Many food banks are being set up and many already going hungry. Italy is also saying riots are breaking out in their southern part of countries. China is starting to have riots. I will find the article but the higher unemployment goes and GDP declines the more likely of social unrest. No it’s not doom and gloom. It’s looking ahead at what can happen instead of only focused on what is in front of us.

Did you read my link from yesterday?
 
Amazon workers in NY and Whole food workers walking out tomorrow. Shut it all down so many want. Disruptions in supply lines. Crimes and looting will increase if this happens. Media continues to fuel the panic. But let’s just focus on the cases and deaths. Not the ones already hurting. No that’s not me thankfully.

You're fueling more panic than the media. My wife just did a grocery run. Everything is running normal people out and about and no looting or rioting to be found.

'The economy is number two, my focus is saving people's lives,' he said."

Trump has definitely had a major change in his tone thanks to the docs.
