    We can't just magic up a few dozen hospitals. Nor can our hospitals simply drop everything else and focus only on this. Its getting to the point that expectations have far exceeded realistic solutions...

    Huh? Aren't you watching the news? They are flying in foreign doctors and nurses in Italy, as if it's some war torn African country.
    Italy has the 2nd best healthcare system in the world... you know. It's just THAT massive.

    Some hospitals in hard-hit Lombardy are at saturation point, unable to admit new patients. Every day is a scramble to find more intensive care beds than the critically ill who need them. There still aren’t enough protective masks to go around.

    The solution is for people to stay home and slow the infection to a rate that our hospitals can handle.

    In fact, Trump's opposition is openly cheerleading for this pandemic and other catastrophes Trump haters think might nullify the 2016 election and rig the 2020 election.
    The public is onto them.

    All this election cycle hyperventilating only diminishes Trump's opposition. How much is the DP paying its "expert" political advisors? ;-)

    Only grocery stores and certain business stay open. You can only go out at certain times based on your last name on your ID card.... Oh wait, liberals are against IDs and we have 30 million illegals here. Damn it!

    Pff. If you want to make it rapidly spread than you only need to have people who are unaware they are effected mingle all over the place. Currently that is possible. Currently that's made not possible in a heck of a lot of EU countries who are closing everything down.

    If you make it slow down, by closing all kinds of facilities so people can't mingle, than there is no sharp high demand for hospital beds. And it seems like this is all new to you. Really? lol

    We are definitely being punked in numerous ways and it's been going on since the beginning of civilization.

    I think the market has been overvalued for sometime, this was just the straw that broke the camels back, it had to pop sometime

    that said, what worries me is that the fed has been trying so hard to keep the bubble up for so long, and we are now down to zero, what do we do when the recession hits - go negative interest... sign me up, I will take a billion dollar loan

    Not true. I have friends lucky enough to live on a sweet family farm deep back in Henry County, Ky. They have clean water, milk cows, crops and a garden. Chickens and pigs, too. There's good fishing nearby.

    Rural hospitals are a severe problem in our country, but my country friends are in a much better position for a pandemic than I am here in Houston Tx. Simple demographic fact.

    are you saying America should not believe Trump and Pence, they lying to us?

    if this was only occurring in the USA, I would agree with you, but as for now, I say trust the Pence task force

    All kinds of companies are being grinded to a hold. It's costing a fortune. It aint a straw. It's a massive hit.
    You can see how it even affected the air quality in China. Same crap is going down in Italy, France and Spain.
    No doubt Germany will be next. Good attempt to downplay it though.

    Late election cycle smears like that are not very effective anymore. The DP needs to hire younger political strategists.

    Trump and Pence are saying this... why don't you believe them?

    not good

    "Dow Plunges 3,000 Points As Trump Says U.S. ‘May Be’ Headed For Recession"

    https://www.forbes.com/sites/sergei...-us-may-be-headed-for-recession/#4e8ded44c401

    "The stock market tanked on Monday, falling more than 12% after President Trump said the coronavirus could last longer than expected, and that the U.S. could face a recession despite the Fed’s massive interest rate cut over the weekend."

    None of that will matter.

    Biden WILL Win...Period...End of Story...:salute:

    The WORST Part of this whole thing is that Trump's Date With Karma is affecting everybody.

    Trump has led a Dishonorable Life and Karma was Bound to catch up with him (sooner or later).

    Sadly, Trump is DRAGGING the Whole Country Down With Him...Sad...

    Thanks, Alot, Trump!:smh:

    In the United States we don't use or talk Gross NATIONAL Product.
    We talk Gross DOMESTIC Product.
    Plus Norway doesn't have a huge underclass including
    Homeless and those on Relief,food stamps and unable to
    see past one paycheck.
    The Motto in Norway has been for Centuries ALL FOR NORWAY.
    That is their strength.
    In Our Land { The United States } we have one Political Party literally
    fighting and mocking a president's motto of
    Make America Great.This same Party literally celebrates Illegals,
    Abortion on Demand,Welfare and more welfare and stuff like
    BlackLivesMatter.

    More "LW" cheerleading for the pandemic only serves to empower Trump.
    Most Trump supporters would choose Biden because they know that Sanders is the better man and the stronger more credible candidate.

    no one is buying your attacks on the left, especially since all of this is coming from Trump and the pence task force, your behind, Trump no longer thinks this is going from 15 down to zero

    I agree, I think many republicans voted Biden in the Primaries to keep Bernie from winning, scared of real competition they is

    Of course we're going into a recession, we literally froze the markets in response to Corona. There's no chance we wouldn't be in a recession. The issue is, can we rebound from it quickly enough.
