The Corona Virus III

All schools are closed in Bergen County; Broadway has shutdown across the river; the Archdiocese of Newark has suspended mass and closed all of its schools. The NBA, NHL and NCAA have suspended their seasons. MLB has delayed the season opener by at least two weeks.

March Madness won't happen this year. Disneyland in California has closed. Trump got on TV last night and in a disjointed, and apparently error strewn rambling talk stopped most travel between the US and Europe.

I say "error strewn" because staff members had to issue corrections after the speech. Apparently the idiot can't even read a teleprompter.

 These are all good moves but without adequate testing it’s just not enough.

Hopefully we’re buying enough time to get test capacity up to snuff but I just don’t see a sense of urgency from Washington. Congress and the White House seem more concerned about the economic fallout. The numbers start hitting millions of infected and thousands of dead and the recent economic loses will look like boom times.
