Ricofoley Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Everybody pray that the theory that this thing behaves like the flu and does worse in warmer weather holds up because right now I think that's the best we've got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricofoley Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Even under the theory that Trump's main motivation is pumping the markets, that was a failure of a speech. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osxmatt Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I want to make sure I have everything here: - 30 day van on travel from Europe - Additional $50 billion (additional to an original undisclosed amount) in loans to businesses That was it? No paid sick leave, no tax extension, no direction on work or social interaction? Like, there was literally nothing for people. No relief. No direction. No confidence.

There were some brief directions about washing your hands and staying home when your sick, but the overall tone of it definitely was not going to prepare people for the scope of what we're going to go through, if they're not aware of it already (or actively think this is a hoax) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except you can still come in from the UK and the UK still has freedom of movement with the rest of the EU until the end of the year. So any EU citizen can just hop over to the UK first and then fly into the US from there. So it's simultaneously draconian and market-wrenching, but also pointless.

Ghost_MH Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I was expecting games to be played without fans. The playoffs are only a month away and the TV revenue would have kept the money rolling. That's a shock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
