Its also of interest that there are things getting shut down all over the nation. Texas shut down their music thing that they made over 350 million on every year. Seattle has shut down the ComicCom, etc. This, I suspect, when all over will certainly effect the economy. The next unemployment report is going to be a doozy!
The SXSW Film Festival got cancelled.

A statement from the ACU said that the unnamed individual had “no interaction” with either Trump, or Vice President Mike Pence, who also attended CPAC, along with scores of other high-profile conservative politicians. The person also did not attend any events in the main hall, according to ACU, which drew the largest crowds. Some 19,000 people attended last year’s event.
The individual’s exposure to coronavirus occurred before the four-day conference that began Feb. 26, according to the ACU.
So he or she may have been to the shedding virus stage, contaminating hallways, entrances, the parking garage, food and drink service aeas, etc. Nobody knows yet how many people they infected.
The current CDC estimate is that roughly 4.5% of COVID-19 cases result in fatalities. 4.5 % of 330,000,000 is 14,850,000. Fourteen and a half million dead.
Anyone who thinks fourteen and a half million dead Americans won't be a big deal has lost all rational sense.

I think politician may be the most dangerous occupation right now: Unlike health care workers, they can't wear protective gear and they have to be meeting with lots of people who meet with lots of other people. Their "contagion network" is huge. If they meet with 20 people per day, who have also met with 20 other people, and those people have met with 20 others, all within the pre-symptom period, then their chance of exposure is about 8000 times mine (as a retired stay-at-homer).
That doesn't count such things as rallies, CPAC, airplane flights many of those people took, etc. There is a reason why several members of Iran's leadership has it.
two people who tested positive for the new coronavirus died in Florida, marking the first known deaths on the East Coast.

For six weeks behind the scenes, and now increasingly in public, Trump has undermined his administration’s own efforts to fight the coronavirus outbreak — resisting attempts to plan for worst-case scenarios, overturning a public-health plan upon request from political allies and repeating only the warnings that he chose to hear.
The White House overruled health officials who wanted to recommend that elderly and physically fragile Americans be advised not to fly on commercial airlines because of the new coronavirus, a federal official told The Associated Press. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention submitted the plan this week as a way of trying to control the virus, but White House officials ordered the air travel recommendation be removed, said the official who had direct knowledge of the plan.
Johns Hopkins! Them libtards are experts! Trump sez we can ignore experts because his gut says so. And God (or Fox News) has a direct line to his gut.
Ask Dr. Trump. He knows more than you do.
