Really? Like Senator Burr after an closed door representation of the virus dumping ALL OF HIS STOCK PORTFOLIO? If you think that is normal, you don't ...

Why would people listen to Trump here? Already the leadership in this crisis has been taken by the governors. That's the truth. Trump just mumbles his...

Or then the loonies of Modern Monetary Theory are correct and I and you are wrong. What has to be understood that in the end this con game the end, a ...

I think there's a proper way to do it. Follow the protocol given in these kind of situations. The Congress has it's disciplinary system. And in the en...

You totally have the right to your opinion even if I'm not so suspicious as you are about it. Then I think you should follow how the pandemic will be ...

NOS4A2, Have you picked up what people have said about the strategy of how to prevent pandemics? Step 1) Nip them in the bud: Prevent local epidemics ...

Which is totally crazy. Economic recession isn't the same as an all out nuclear strike in the US. Recession is a time when wealth changes hands and pe...

Meanwhile in Spain: Coronavirus: Spanish army finds care home residents 'dead and abandoned'

Totally wrong. South Korea is in recession: And it likely goes into longer recession when the Global economy tanks. Secondly, because they simply were...

Perhaps I'll clear myself. 1) Policy decisions taken by countries do effect the spread of the pandemic. Hence the what policies Trump or the Federal S...

Did you understand my comment?

Nah. The Global recession is already here, just like the pandemic. And your economy isn't ruined. It would be ruined if Russia fired all it's nukes at...

82 000 has already passed in reality.

Yep. There's actually no sarcasm in that, because when you have politicians who promise everything for everybody and portray themselves as quite omnip...

Well, you can be Trump and be the US President. And possibly be re-elected.

Does anybody need to attack Biden now? Isn't Joe doing it to himself? And now for Trump the best thing is to appear in the television talking about th...

Yep. This is the point I'm trying to make. Somehow it was a danger that we could live with. Cartoonists could make fun of it: https://s3.amazonaws.com...

Other way around. Possible outbreaks, things that earlier would have been in regional news and medical newsoutlets or papers will be headline news. We...

Really? I assume you haven't lived in a summer cottage where you have to haul the water from a well? It does take time. And soap? Soap is those long d...

Lol. Well, when has that been a problem??? :grin: Immigration??? I think it was travel and quarantines (tourists aren't immigrants). Anyway, that is n...

And you could go similarly saying that these aren't actually so important: Light bulb: the invention of the oil lamp happened earlier and that gave li...

Fair enough. Didn't want to sound like Trump, but I guess it came out like that. The intention was to say that they (the Chinese) have had to deal wit...

Then you're like my economics history professor in the university: he thought (in the 90's) that the whole internet-thing was rubbish and the last tru...

This is true (well, I cannot verify that particular case, but the response has been huge). And this is the reason why we shouldn't be calm that China ...

Sure, but the question is what measures do we make after this example. How do we respond to another outbreaks? Let's say in Thailand there's an outbre...

Well, that means that in our lifetime and our parents nothing remotely fundamental has happened. How about this that you spend part of your daily time...

A fine article. I noted one example that he gave, which was surprising: Sounds incredible that China can put 9 000 people to track infected persons, b...

What then does constitutes a change fundamental change for you? Never is there that kind of fundamental change from one year to another. I bet the Sov...

Something being "cheap" is quite relative. What has happened is that absolute povetry has truly been reduced. We in the West just whine about our econ...

I might just do that, thanks. Schiphol has become quite familiar to me as that hub and Paris have been the way my family has gone to Mexico (as my wif...

I don't think so, especially if you look at this from a different point of view. I think this will be one of those important collective experiences an...

I gather that nationals and residents can cross the border, but for example some in Mexico cannot now come to Finland as there aren't any direct fligh...

Bernie still running? With winning "the Abroad" vote?

That's the way it goes. First it was cheap labor, then as the labor gets more expensive, it has to be more productive and the industries change. Then ...

Now we genuinely and totally openly have Helicopter-money. The Federal Reserve just pledged asset purchases with no limit to support markets Remember ...

Seriously speaking, this macabre example does tell us something: There is a genuine incentive not to be open with the numbers of infected and especial...

You have to have quite a long memory for this "games" to be played out, because the actual death toll will likely be only known much later as people d...

This really goes down to things like the common sense and how people take authorities and orders from the government. For example, cafes and restauran...

Did I get you right or are you proposing that instead of us now saying that the javelins went 10 feet, 20 ft, 30ft and 40 ft we would say the contesta...

It's not only the aviation industry. All service sector jobs have severely been effected. Hence what is very likely is that there will be an economic ...

That order of "You are not allowed to go out for a walk for fresh air" is simply stupid. (Especially when your annoying neighbor with an ugly dog can ...

I hope your mother is wrong this time, but take care and hope for best.

Because everybody understands if a person dies to Covid-19, the reason is the pandemic. If climate change ruins the Egyptian harvest and the economic ...

Yeah, China fights back the meme that it was a "Chinese" disease. Blame the Italians!!! (If Trump & Fox News can do it, so can the Chinese and CGTN. B...

Countries that have had the outbreak earlier are good forecasts for later epidemic areas. Italy with being earliest hit and where the containment of t...

At least here I think matter basically would be the boss vs. the State and the Constitution. State and the Constitution will likely be the way which a...

Rounded, right. Ever thought being critical about data? Especially one that simply doesn't add up? You really think NOBODY is hospitalized or in inten...

Then there's no reason to argue with you how governments work. But why at least I am suspicious: Now, which politicians have that information first?

Ok, let's take the example. There can be a cranky individual of a boss of a small company that does this, but I think it's rare. Likely it's that the ...

Well, it's a law. But who cares in this administration...if it's not Joe Biden etc. And it goes on, but I think anyone interested gets the picture...
