Liberty Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House has ordered federal health officials to treat top-level coronavirus meetings as classified, an unusual step that has restricted information and hampered the U.S. government’s response to the contagion, according to four Trump administration officials. “We had some very critical people who did not have security clearances who could not go,” one official said. “These should not be classified meetings. It was unnecessary.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stahleyp Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Banning flights from Europe (except UK) for 30 days. $50 billion to SBA and trying to get congress to do the payroll tax relief.

Spekulatius Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Was at Costco in Roseville, CA today. No paper towels, no toilet paper, no pasta, no rice, no canned tomatoes/sauce. Went to Walmart next and grabbed the last bag of lentils off the shelf and a few of the last remaining bags of brown rice. They had lots of canned tomatoes. All of the TopRamen was gone, so I went to the asian foods aisle and stocked up on Sapporo Ichiban. Walmart still had pasta. Walmart was completely out of dried chickpeas, dried pinto beans, dried kidney beans. The trouble with telling everyone to keep two weeks' of food on hand is that the stores don't have it on the shelves when everyone wants it all at once. Fascinating. Do Americans even eat that shit? If you have Covid-19, do you want to spend 45 minute boiling chickpeas, or do you want to throw a frozen lasagna or frozen pizza into the oven? Brown rice, lol. SJ Brown rice is easy to make. 15-20 minutes in our small steamer oven or even in the microwave. Healthier than white rice. I went low carb, so switched to granulated cauliflower or quinoa.

Yep, even the last holdout got the idea that it’s not just the flu any more. Probably another limit down day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Ok. We just went from the Disney Stage to the Friday the 13th in 1 weeks time... unbelievable. Tomorrow could be a bloodbath. S&P Futures are down 900 (7:20 PST). Hello capitulation? The key now is at what point do Republican Senators put their big boy pants on and, with House Democrats, start to do what needs to be done. First step is jointly demanding that the President handle the crisis properly or get out of the way. Too much at stake for the nation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregmal Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 So the big question is, does Tom Hanks get let back into the US? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stahleyp Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I do wonder how Trump could get much of anything passed. If the Democrats approve, Trump has a much better chance to get re-elected. If they don't approve, they'll pretty much guarantee their guy gets in. I'd like to think they would put country above party but who knows.
