#4 When the media really, really, hopes for a body count to take out the President is it finally okay to question their patriotism?

#5 The stock market doesn't predict election results. The key is unemployment.

The unemployment rate is not going to spike in the next four months. Labor markets are too "sticky" for that.

Quit panicking. It's unseemly. Never Trumper-ish.

#8 The only thing I am majorly worried about with this pandemic is the panic that happens with it. That will shut down work, schools, transportation, etc. and cause some pretty severe economic slowdown.

Keep calm. Buy food/water just in case and carry on.

#9 Bernie could win in a time of pandemics as his politics has a lot experience rounding people up and quarantining them from the rest of the population. Mostly it was done for having ideas the state disagreed with , but you can see the skills transfers.

#10 'This might be bad': Top CDC official warns it's 'not a question of if but when' coronavirus spreads in the US and tells parents to prepare kids for school closures and 'significant disruption in our lives'

#11 Skidmark, that CDC official is funny as I don't believe any kids have been infected so far. Seems to prefer old folks mostly. Someone is spreading fear for whatever reason.

#13 True but the stats out of China show 0% under ten have been infected, so far.

#14 Re #10, 11, "school closures and significant disruption,"

i.e., "KEEP IN THE VOTE!"

#15 From Wikipedia: The Spanish Flu In 1918–1919, 99% of pandemic influenza deaths in the U.S. occurred in people under 65, and nearly half in young adults 20 to 40 years old. Some analyses have shown the virus to be particularly deadly because it triggers a cytokine storm, which ravages the stronger immune system of young adults

#16 Skidmark, that CDC official is funny

Reported she is Rod Rosenstein's sister. Getting ahead of the virus or getting political?
