    Guess that's what happens when you try to implement a complex financial program in a little over a week.

    It would be infuriating if it wasn't so comically awful.

    I feel bad for some bankers working their tails off, but it's a cluster of cosmic proportions.

    The actual SBA application was easy...navigating the banks running around half-assed is the problem. But, it’s the SBA who changed everything the night before it opened that threw everyone in a tailspin.

    Sorry if already posted...

    A report published this week by Reuters claims that a group of more than 100 Vanderbilt University students that ignored concerns about the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic were responsible for spreading it to their home communities after leaving campus.

    According to a report by Reuters, a group of Vanderbilt students that ignored directives from their university about the Wuhan coronavirus may have spread it to their local communities.

    Seems like the story about the man drinking fish bowl cleaner chloroquine might be a lot of bullshit.

    Apparently the woman that talked about hearing it on the press conference hates Trump and wouldn’t take his advice from hearing it from him.

    She also had social media post about wanting to divorce her husband and he had filed assault charges against her recently before his death.

    If we assume Joe's campaign is being truthful here, shouldn't he be getting roasted over the coals anyway? I mean what good comes of this?

    Is Joe saying he needs to be president during the pandemic? How does this happen? Is he so dumb to think it wasn't an immediate problem and that we all needed to wait on next year so he can handle it?

    Maybe he's simply trying to use the pandemic to his advantage and make sure the nation stays divided enough to elect him. Typical and crude, but this wasn't a good time to take such an action. Surely someone who is trying to be elected President of the United States understood that this was a time the country needed to come together and not further try to undermine the sitting president by calling him a xenophobe in the middle of an international crisis. Words can kill Mr. Biden.

    What is the next viable idea? Is he advocating everybody drop everything and change the constitution so that he can be elected immediately? Brilliant. That's happening.

    No, no, I've got it. He wants an uprising. He's advocating for a second revolution. He has to be pleading for an armed uprising to take over and name him president, dear leader, whatever. That way he can right this wrong. It's still gotta happen pretty quick though. At least he'd have a ready made army for martial law if this was the approach.

    Perhaps he was acting on China's behalf. China has tried to downplay this event from the beginning. This is exactly in line with that. This seems familiar. I'm thinking there needs to be an investigation when he's elected. If you think about it. He seemed mighty confident the Chinese flu shouldn't be labelled as such. Perhaps he is their candidate. Can anyone tell me if this guy has had conversations with the Chinese before? Has he eaten at a Chinese restaurant? He's working with China. The problem is he's fallen into the trap so many have. He called on a virus made in China. The quality just can't be reliable. It's gotten far worse than they told him it would. He already needs impeached.

    Nah, it's none of that. It's just, when you spend so much time saying anything to get elected and believe the only way to get there is to be the opposite of the other guy, sometimes your campaign has to make up flimsy excuses and rely on the media and so called fact checkers to put you over the hump.

    you are revising history. all of this was unfolding under the backdrop of impeachment, but you have excluded that from why biden is talking about someone else needing to be in office and invented a call to armed uprising.

    We don't have a king, man.

    Trump announces travel ban from China to combat the coronavirus.

    On the same day and after the Tump announcement Biden says, "You know we have right now a crisis with the coronavirus, emanating from China," Biden said then. "The national emergency and worldwide alerts. The American people need to have a president who they can trust what he says about it. That he is going to act rationally about it. In moments like this, this is where the credibility of a president is most needed, as he explains what we should and should not do. This is no time for Donald Trump's record of hysterical xenophobia and fear mongering to lead the way instead of science."

    Biden references the coronavirus from China. Says Trump xenophobic and fear mongering.

    A direct question with a simple answer: did the travel ban measures contain the illness outside of the United States?

    It's pretty clear what Biden was saying. For once.

    Read this morning where if the person who signs the death certificate (or however it works..) believes CV was a cause of death, yet has no proof or positive test, the person can still list CV as cause of death for those patients.

    Impossible because it was already here, but obviously dropped the number of positive patients coming into this country by the 100's of 1000's.

    I read this morning that in Italy, unless the death occurred in a Hospital it was not counted in their CV death totals.

    We’re third world because we’re trying a treatment on a novel virus that has been used for other uses for 75 years and shows some potential to help?

    No but it bought time which helped with more hospital capacity due to pushing the cv increase at the end of an already heavy flu season.
