Would have loved this to go out during trading hours. Just imagine it. Still there's always the morning opening to come.

The flu killed 61,000 people in the United States in in the 2018-2019 flu season. Thus far, covid-19 is ~20x as fatal as the seasonal flu. So what exactly Trump's point was in saying how deadly the flu is, I don't know.

It's one of the talking points of people trying to dismiss this as another seasonal disease.

If there's a huge outbreak in the US before the election Trump can just blame it on Pence and pick a new running mate.

No details, it seems.

" The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been informed of the first case of the coronavirus in a person who did not recently return from a foreign country or have contact with a confirmed case, according to a person briefed on the case. Officials have begun tracing the contacts of the resident to find out how the person may have been infected and who else might have been exposed..

A new case of coronavirus was confirmed in the United States on Wednesday, bringing the total number of cases in the country to 60. The CDC did not specify Wednesday how that person contracted the virus. "

Despite his proclamations, do you think he has an inkling, deep deep down, that he is by far the stupidest person in the room?

If there is a huge outbreak the market is going to crash. They already are having problems keeping up the illusions in the stock market with supply chains breaking down. Imagine how much worse it would get if the US is directly effected. Trump will likely be very vulenrable if his shield of a "great" economy is shattered.
