What I did notice is that at first Trumps response was too much, and now it's too little.
Notice from who?

Clearly you haven't been reading his posts today. It's obviously because Orange Man Bad.
Actually I've thought that CV seems to surprisingly not be coming from his usual TDS today.

And a much greater domino effect. That is why you see what you see in the financial markets and attempts from officials to soften the blow.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Did I say softened? I said attempts to soften. (and some softening must have occurred).

A 50bps rate cut (I saw somewhere that JPM expecting 100bps cut at the next meeting). Major enhancements to repo operations. Market circuit breakers. ECB LTRO (the realize that lowering rates will do nothing, and they seemingly have more tools available to them than the Fed does). Proposed tax relief. Proposed tax filing deadline extension.

Your responses and posts in all these threads are clear.
This is a pandemic, what part of that don't you understand?
How about opioids ?
How about the poverty/suicides from all people losing jobs?

It just doesn't really translate into a/t tangible for the average American. Rate cuts only helped the market tank further AND interest rates on mortgages/Helocs stayed the same or jumped, ECB LTRO- well, I'm not a European citizen. A tax relief prob would help my pocket a bit. I hear what you're saying, I'm just trying to figure out the practical benefit of it all.

The pneumologist said she could visit so she's going. I hope it all works out.

Meanwhile my wife's grandmother is in the hospital with an unknown illness (probably pneumonia). She was tested for COVID-19 on Monday and they sent the test to Albany. On Tuesday the hospital got permission to run their own tests, but they won't retest her because she has a pending test. It's now Thursday afternoon with no results from Albany. And they won't treat her because they don't know what she has. And they won't allow visitors
Chasdei Hashem they finally allowed the hospital to administer their own test and got a negative response in a few hours. They are finally treating her pneumonia
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

*Joint Statement from the Crown Heights Schools*

Dear Crown Heights Parents שיחיו,

As of this morning, there are 3 confirmed cases of COVID-19 positive cases in the Crown Heights Community. All are doing well, but they each have had a very extensive exposure to the community. There are many young people presenting with mild flu-like symptoms who have been tested and are awaiting results.

All the schools in Crown Heights had a joint conference call this morning at 10am with professionals and Rabbonim. We were advised that all local schools be closed because we expect a very large outbreak in the community based on the trends seen all over the world.

All Crown Heights schools will be closed as of 12pm today until further notice.

There is no reason for panic or worry. We simply must take action to keep the vulnerable members of our community safe. Professionals advised that young children should not visit the elderly and that everyone should take extra precautions and stay home as much as possible.

It is very important to note that many children who are carrying the virus will not even appear sick. We need to keep them home regardless to stop the spread.

This is an ongoing situation and we will do our best to keep the community updated on new policies and when we can re-open.

Wishing everyone a Gut Shabbos and Besuros Tovos,

The Crown Heights Schools

That’s silly. If the death rate is 1-2% there’s no need for drastic measures? At its worst polio killed maybe 3000 in the US. Way less than 2%.
But the disabilities it caused, such as paralysis, was far worse.
