Canada just closed its borders to anyone not a citizen or permanent resident.

However, Americans are currently exempted (kind of a big hole!) for now. Wonder for how long though.

Trump announces vaccine in phase 1 clinical trial

Oh yeah that's been reported for hours now.

Promising for sure, but still many months out at best.

Trump anticipates this is life for the next several months...until July or August. That is, if Americans do their part.

Good to see he hung around for questions. Even if folks don't like him, a president needs to be out front on things like this.

So even though I dislike him... good job taking questions.

Crap. Market reacting to the "August" statement. Just shot down to 2,650. 11.5% down.

The second market circuit breaker is 13%. Don't think it has ever been hit before.

I only mention it because the NBA talking heads were talking today about resuming in June/July. That isn't happening. I realize sports is not a priority but I just see it as an indicator of things and it is pretty depressing.

Trump is doing a nice job taking all these questions. He needs to stay out in front.

Oh look, more Trump lies.

SF Bay area going into full lockdown.
Bay Area 'shelter in place' expected: Only essential businesses open in 6 counties with 6.7 million people until April 7

The Bay Area has some even more serious problems than just this virus. That whole
Cory should be quarantined.

Complete shutdown or only pickup and delivery?

Pick up and delivery only. Doesnt help servers and bartenders. Not sure destroying the economy is the best solution for this.

Better that some old people die and the economy stays afloat?

In case anyone missed it, Dr. Fauci did confirm a potential vaccine is in testing.

However it started today, and the timeline is 1 year in order to get through testing.

So at best we're looking at a year if it works and is deemed safe.

Then it'll have to be mass produced.
