Well, if that's the case, then what Trump said is true then.  We do have a drug that can treat the main symptom of this virus that causes death.  So let's just continue to destroy the economy on this nuttinburger.

Face!

Since Chuck apparently wanted to make sure this thread became political...

 

Richard Burr (R - NC) has had himself quite a day. Richard Burr is chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee and receives daily briefings on the virus, and has for quite some time.

First off, recording of him warning wealthy donors, things were gonna be bad...while at the same time the administration was telling everyone it's all good

The chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee warned a small group of well-connected constituents three weeks ago to prepare for dire economic and societal effects of the coronavirus, according to a secret recording obtained by NPR.

The remarks from U.S. Sen. Richard Burr were more stark than any he had delivered in more public forums.

 

Dude was just getting started apparently

Soon after he offered public assurances that the government was ready to battle the coronavirus, the powerful chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Richard Burr, sold off a significant percentage of his stocks, unloading between $582,029 and $1.56 million of his holdings on Feb. 13 in 29 separate transactions.

As the head of the intelligence committee, Burr, a North Carolina Republican, has access to the government’s most highly classified information about threats to America’s security. His committee was receiving daily coronavirus briefings around this time, according to a Reuters story.

A week after Burr’s sales, the stock market began a sharp decline and has lost about 30% since.

Sorry bud. If it is any consolation, your post is more thorough and should get more attention.

And there we go...that's why him rushing out and implying we have a cure is potentially harmful.

how many people heard him and have said...well then...all over...let's roll

Great post! 

[Tank]

my wife received her first fwd:fwd:fwd: email a few minutes ago from a co-worker.

in essence, trump is about to declare martial law, and will once enough national guard troops have assembled. there will be a two week shelter in place for all residents, so you need to stock up and have a two-week supply of everything you need.

*sigh* this is why people are panic buying everything, fearing that this is an absolute eventuality.

[Lou]

I never take a list when I grocery shopping so I end up buying things I don't really need. As a result, I have a pantry full of items people are evidently hoarding these days - rice, canned goods, paper towels, etc.

This was absolutely brilliantly timed on the part of Probublica.  NPR drops their story 9 hours ago.  Burr acts like a whiny little twat in a series of 8 tweets over the NPR story.  Then.... boom goes the dynamite.
