Thanks...that's the name...Defense Production Act. Lockdown and closing the borders...not sure how many days or weeks it took for him to invoke that act especially while knowing / hearing they didn't have enough PPE supplies and testing kits. wrbtrader
He was too busy salivating at Cuomo's daily briefings for two months on CNN before he realized Cuomo was making salient points, and decided he should lift a toe and start doing a bit more than he was doing. Too late!
"The Trump administration has ordered hospitals to bypass the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and, beginning on Wednesday, send all coronavirus patient information to a central database in Washington — a move that has alarmed public health experts who fear the data will be distorted for political gain." Of course Trump will try to cheat again, like he is doing already 4 years. I am curious if the Americans are smart enough to understand that. We will see end of the year if they were smart. If you see how Trump gets away with all his lies I am not optimistic. With the bad data that is published Trump is already doing a "great" job. Wait till he decides what the published numbers should be; he will be the best President ever all over the world who managed covid-19 perfectly. He will say: nobody did ever better. Trump did achieve a few unigue things nobody ever did before: no president ever caused so much protests abroad when visiting other countries no president ever had so many deaths from a "flu" no president ever had so much fights with other befriended nations no president ever cancelled so many international treaties no president ever used so much blackmail to force universities to open schools no president was ever so arrogant (I am the best, the most intelligent...and other nonsense) no president ever grabbed so many pussies etc...
but many Americans like him. That's why he was voted in. We traders like him not because of his personality/character/politics, but because he moves the market.
That's the only positive thing about Trump. On the other hand if he uses nucleair power he will move the market a lot too... That tells a lot about the Americans... Luckily less than half of the US population voted for him... so there is still hope.
China data is extremely good. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/china/ there is hardly any reported death since mid Apr 20. Who knows, soon US data will be even better. and who knows, death number might even be negative like crude oil price.
Except that little fact that about 10 times more casualties in Wuhan than what they stated, yes. The current numbers are probably close to the truth.
I believe that maxinger post was ironic "Who knows, soon US data will be even better. and who knows, death number might even be negative"
The issue with Trump and the part of americans voting for him is not too dissimilar from what is the status in the rest of the world: Europe wit Orban, the Polish dude, the right wing in Italy and France, UK... Erdogan in Turkey, India with Modi, Venezuela with Maduro, and so on and on, unfortunately. I just think that we live in a time where many people look for easy "solutions" for complex problems, these same people have lost the thrust in competence and look for story tellers that promise them the moon (but will end up delivering a pile of shit). good luck to us all
What China can do, Trump can do better. Numbers of China are fake, but I am sure Trump can fake better. Maybe the US goes the way of China. But then the Liberal party will control the country as there is no communistic party in the US.There are enough arms in hands of the people to help a hand. Each country will soon have it's own dictator and abolish democracy: China (Xi), North Korea (Kim jong un), Russia (Putin), Venezuela (Maduro), and soon the USA (Trump).
