@maust1013 - there is messaging that Biden wanted to cut SS when he clearly didn't. He proposed freezing cost of living adjustments for one year to help offset the budget deficit. People would have gotten their money, just not an increase over the previous year.But they aren't. Biden proposed a freeze on only cost of living adjustment, not cutting SS.
Do you mean martial law? Don't know who the Marshall dude might be...Are you saying the Feds are going to trump the state rights and call some type of Marshall law?
I don't believe it. I believe individual states will probably impose local lockdowns, unless you're specifically talking about Illinois.
They are also testing 10k people a day and have uniform measures in place. We aren't doing that because our leadership is incompetent

Look at a map of incoming international flights of the U.S. on any given day along with additional connecting flights that massively mix up the germ pool among so many people every single day from coast to coast. We are like a food processor on high. Now compare the above countries and it is laughable to compare.In this country, perhaps yes, but the concept that government is inherently incapable of serving its people in a robust, efficient manner, is not true. You need not look any further than governments who have responded to COVID in a meaningful, productive manner.
See: Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Korea.
The common perception when politicians speak of cutting Medicare is complete defunding of the program, which Biden's freeze proposal was not. The argument that is being made that he wanted to strip people of their benefits is disingenuous. And the statement in Bernie's ads that Biden has "advocated cutting Social Security for 40 years" is patently false.That's doublespeak, a COLA freeze is effectively a cut. Unless you believe there will be zero inflation in which case a freeze would be pointless as there would be no offset, which brings us back to the aforementioned doublespeak.
It is going to get worse and we’ll see an increased rate of new cases and deaths before it starts getting better. That’s not an opinion, it’s a fact.You don't understand exponential rate yet but I fear that you soon will. Remember how you said " only 50 deaths" a day ago?
Again. I really hope you're right.
737 new cases in one day.

doesn't give a bleep about him

The curve will get flattened over time due to measures by the government and individual citizens. In South Korea and China the curves have already flattened out. South Korea had 70 or so deaths but they were able to work quickly to stop the progress of the virus. It can work in the US too, but given the size of the US population the number of deaths will be more than South Korea. And the overwhelming number of US cases are considered mild.
so far only 70 dead after the first case on January 20.

Look at the test rate differences between South Korea and the US. We're lagging way behind.

That’s why everyone, without exception has a responsibility to follow federal & state guidelines.
UK could face huge problems also due to lack of ventilators...I'm in the U.S. I cancelled a trip home at the weekend. I could say a lot but it would be political and, well ... if you've nothing good to say, say nothing.
Stay safe, everybody.
What are you talking about?Trying to figure the next step here. We're dealing with at least two emergencies. The virus, and now our economy.
If things level off (market wise) today or tomorrow, I think we're good economically. But if things continue to plummet (down 2k points currently), does anyone think the folks that fund politics are gonna seek a change?
I mean if they're losing Billions... could you see a meeting with Pence and the Cabinet? Even this week?
Try to sure up national confidence and stop the economic bleeding.
