Damn only one confirmed too.
Everyday for the past week I've been asking the Federal government to suspend payments....nothing yet....just what are they doing????

Something small, called taxes not due until 7/15.

Oh, and they also are allowing for those of you getting a rebate, file now and get your money.

Listen I'm glad they did that but it's far short of what they need to do. Far short.

google a list of everything they have done. A lot more than you/many give credit.

Can they do more? Always. This is a crisis after all. Will the public always want more? Yes. As they should.

We should all be thankful for what they have done -- by being respectful and understanding of what they have done -- and politely asking for more.

People tend to rally around their leaders in times of crisis. That's been true for a long time.

Guys,

I went full Xi Jinping here and moved posts out.

Please don't "live post" with your emotions in this topic.

A reporter was baiting. And anyone who expects Trump to act "politically correct or presidentially" is from another planet.

They both should do better considering this time of emergency, but it isn't worth the space here. Not relevant.

HotRocks34 will be posting a recap of the press conference with the actual points that may matter.

627 infected people died in the last 24 hours in Italy.

It would be more helpful to have seperate press conferences. One from Trump, Pence and whoever they want to add. One from Fauci and other medical experts.
Right now it is 80% political baiting and blame game and 20% information.

The numbers out of Italy are tragic and terrifying. My thoughts go.out to anyone in NYC (and Italy of course). Please shelter on place as much as you can.
