    No plan for reopening.
    No details on expanding testing.
    No explanation why FEMA is seizing supplies purchased by the states.
    No accountability. Just PR. And distractions.

    Everything is about Trump’s fragile ego. 25,000 dead and he cares only about himself.

    It’s crazy how everyone he brings up makes sure they credit the president. “Under your direction Mr. President”...

    What, you don't think it is necessary to be reminded how "powerful" our hospitals are?

    South Korea took the same guidance that WHO issued on Jan 10 and 23 and acted on it better and got better results. The WHO isn’t perfect. There is blame to go around. But doing nothing throughout February is part of the problem.

    You can’t have it both ways, saying the WHO was fooled and failed but we were not fooled and don’t have our own failures.

    Same old, same old. Blame someone else and avoid the mirror.

    Maybe science doesn’t always get it right. Turns out it is possible to kiss an ass from 6 feet away.

    I'm glad we live in a time when historians don't try to put a positive spin on everything. They are willing to show the flaws in leaders. The history books covering this administration are going to be amazing.

    At what point are they going to talk about how to roll out testing, contact tracing and isolating so we can open things back up.

    How many tests are needed? When will that number of tests be ready?

    There isn’t any way out until we can execute on a real test, trace and isolate program.

    Seriously, he is just reading random CEO and company names. Banks, then defense contractors, then oil companies. If you donate to his campaign, does he read your name or something?

    Edit: On to investment houses and PE firms.
