He was also going to keep the NYC schools open until the teachers said were going to all call in sick.Some on this thread have mentioned elected officials. What was going through the mayor of NYC's head. Working out in a public GYM this morning. Setting a bad example.
That is the dual edged sword in play here, but with the plethora of statistics and projections that have been generated I would hope a case could be made where the reaction was 'just right'.....Unfortunately, if we are NOT overreacting and the strict measures work and slow things way down - people will use that to prove we overreacted.
Today I read that the situation is so bad in Italy, as far as having room to treat everyone in the hospital, that if it gets much worse people over 80 will be turned away.I was wondering why things were so much worse in Italy - one reason cited is that Italy has a considerable amount of older people in its population and especially in the hardest hit areas on Italy.
Maybe it's not busy when he goes? I still go to the gym early in the morning. It's my one activity out of the house. Our gym is relatively empty in the early morning. This morning I was two elipticals away from the nearest person so there is social distance. I wipe down the machine thoroughly, use sanitizer and wash my hands before and after. I am in my 50s so not quite in the worst age group.
May need to start running/walking outside if they close this down. I would have gone stir crazy on one of those quarantined cruise ships stuck to my room.
Agree, he was not setting the best example - well the Bay Area just went on shelter in place so I guess today was my last day at the gym for a while...this is getting real...I think it's great you are exercising(literally) your right to make your own decisions. I think it may change soon. But my point was the leader of arguably the largest City in the World is going to a public gym. He is not onlyexposing himself but his Security team to the virus. And again he is setting a poor example of self isolating.
at least they will be alive to make this allegation. people say things, let em. there can be no "proof" of anything.Unfortunately, if we are NOT overreacting and the strict measures work and slow things way down - people will use that to prove we overreacted.
Our elected officials are never able to self-isolate in emergencies, they drive into them. If he has no symptoms and no known contact with a positive person, and is observing the 6 feet, I think the man should work off his stress and stay healthy because people are depending on him.I think it's great you are exercising(literally) your right to make your own decisions. I think it may change soon. But my point was the leader of arguably the largest City in the World is going to a public gym. He is not onlyexposing himself but his Security team to the virus.

Is Wall Street overreacting? Seems as always yes as eventually normal will happen again. But wall street make a lot of money when stocks go up and when they go down.
I agree Wall Street is over reacting to the Coronavirus. I feel Wall Street is causing people not to purchase homes, automobile, major appliances, clothes, eating out, etc.,
Yes and those who had money to invest were better off but many others struggled unfortunately for years.I do not think Wall Street is over reacting. They are just reacting to what people are thinking and doing. If anyone is over reacting, it is the people and Wall Street is following suit. When and if there is light at the end of the tunnel and some positive news comes out, then the stock market will start improving. This is what happened in the past. For example, stock market started to recover in 2009, well before Main Street improved.
Probably every official on that stage has been tested. As for the gathered media ........How is this worse than a crowded stage for press conferences?
For the agents involved in protecting the President, a virus is the least of their worries.I think it's great you are exercising(literally) your right to make your own decisions.

Did you mean Affected? I think you did, and I agree. Hammered. I am shocked to hear there are still people on cruise ships floating around without permission to dock.The business that will be most effective are small business, restaurants, the airlines & cruise lines, the entertainment and sporting industries IMHO.
Thus, Wall Street will be following the fears of the American Public.
Is this a National Pandemic? The Governor of New York State; stated Yes.
This Coronavirus is not under control anywhere on planet on Earth.
For the agents involved in protecting the President, a virus is the least of their worries.
