I read today that most of the big companies are canceling all work related travel, what do you think that will do to the economy?

Airlines and health care companies are fucked for sure, mass events of any kind will be cancelled. Look at the experience of other countries further along in infections for a preview of things to come. Much will depend on the rate of spread, if they can slow it down it will be better, if it overwhelms the health care system all at once it will be very bad in both human and economic terms. Testing and containing is the priority now, if it runs through the country quick it will be a disaster, Trump already gave it a head start and crippled the response.

You know Trump must be thinking that from time to time too. Epstein him or Pardon, Epstein or pardon..... must keep him up at night.
 
When are they gonna lock Roger up anyway, that will be D day or C day for commutation of his sentence by Trump. Trump won't pardon Roger, he would be easy prey for a grand jury or congress with no 5th amendment rights and would he would have no reason to lie for Donald and risk prison then.

I don't really understand how prison works for rich people.

Many generations of wealthy scions and assholes with cash have helped to warp the legal system, mostly through the appeals process and filing endless motions. Only the wealthy can afford these options and they stand a better chance of getting off at each stage, they can afford armies of private investigators and ruin the lives of police and prosecutors or even blackmail them. They can and have bribe judges who set precedents and juries too, victims can be bought off, as can witnesses. Need and greed are all around us and in our own hearts, a million in cash is mighty tempting for an regular person.

When people look at the next quarter of their 401Ks there might be a few attitude changes concerning Trump and if the june performance drops too, there will be even more folks thinking things over... If these morons fail to contain and control the spread of this and lot's of people get really sick and the health system is overwhelmed, the larger economy could go tits up, much less the market. State and local officials will take dramatic action if this gets bad enough, Donald can't spin that. Donald on TV asking you for a trillion dollar bailout will not inspire confidence, or trust.

..it's as if all of Americas worst attributes are in the OA and we're being visited by the three ghosts of Christmas..
 
Well the GOP is making it clear that people are on their own. A pandemic is here and nothing is free. If you go to the hospital to be tested and or quarantined they are sending you a bill, people are getting them already. So because of their incompetence this thing will be worse and more people will die but as long as the bill is paid they don't give a shit. MAGA, WINNING.
 
This administration is a shit show and has morons running every aspect of it. They were chosen for their positions based on ideology and loyalty pledges and not for their intelligence, experience or expertise. Since getting into office the orange jenius has dismantled our ability to fight a pandemic and they are actually now still sabotaging it both deliberately and by their incompetence. Good luck to everyone, you're going to need it.

New York City doctor says he has to 'plead to test people' for coronavirus

The CDC sent test kits earlier in the outbreak to public health labs around the country, but those kits were problematic and potentially inaccurate.

He WILL pay for this one at the polls if it gets bad and they don't control and moderate the spread, it will overwhelm the medical system and the economy will take a dive.
