Will this stock market madness affect cards?

They are used to manipulate, which is why I questioned you using a post from a Russian Instagram account while dismissing a verified media publication like Vox.

This is a golden opportunity for you to show at least one of those sound clips was taken out of context by showing the longer clip and facts showing that it is misleading. I’ll wait patiently.

The very first clip is dated February 2nd - when there were 8 confirmed cases in the country. The press conference took place in China Town to celebrate the Lunar New Year and address reports of discrimination towards Asian-Americans. I could not find the complete press conference, but below is the Press Release from the event: https://www1.nyc.gov/site/doh/about/...ronavirus.page

“We are continuing to work closely with our partners at the CDC, State and federal government as the coronavirus situation evolves,” said Health Commissioner Dr. Oxiris Barbot. “If you have traveled to the area affected by the outbreak in the last 14 days and feel unwell, call your doctor or visit a clinic, and you will be cared for. Also, practice everyday precautions like you would during flu season — wash your hands frequently, and cover your mouth and nose when you sneeze. We remain grateful to all New Yorkers for their cooperation.”

If the implication from the highly edited video clip was that New York Health Officials weren't taking the matter seriously at the time, I would disagree.

This is the problem with fake news, edited videos and biased sources.

Sure. The Nancy Pelosi comment on MSNBC was in San Francisco's Chinatown on February 24 outside the Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory. Her comments were not about the virus, specifically, but to discourage people from avoiding Chinatown. At the time, there were no known cases in Chinatown. In her speech to local business owners in the area, she acknowledged that there was concern that the U.S. would not be adequately prepared due to the $1.3 billion dollar cut to the CDC.

Her comments came 4 days before Donald Trump declared the coronavirus: "The Democrat's new hoax"... and approximately 2 weeks before Trump told Sean Hannity on March 4 that the flu was a bigger threat to public health than covid-19.

That said, the DeBlasio comments were moronic - he's done a pretty poor job handling this situation... I think most NYers, democrat or republican would agree to that.

The Bernie Sanders comment about not closing down the borders did not provide any context as to what he said. He said we should be listening to the scientists for the appropriate approach instead of using the virus to vilify immigrants.

Dr. Barbot's comments were all from early February (the first on Feb. 2). If you read anything about her response, the dept. of health was concerned about a late-season spike of flu that was popping up in NYC. NYC or anywhere in the U.S. for that matter had tests for covid-19, so there was no way to determine whether or not it had arrived in the U.S. Her comments were, like Pelosi's, to discourage avoiding Chinese-owned businesses.

Like I said... those videos are meant to manipulate. I don't care if they are targeting only Democrats or targeting only Republicans. They target one side and blast it out to their audience, not giving the full context of the statements. It's designed to drum up the emotions of the people viewing it, which leads to them using videos like this one to justify their hatred of the other side.

Ask yourself... Why didn't the video also show Republicans downplaying the virus?

Like Devin Nunes?

Anyone else think Chris Cuomo is faking it?

I have not heard the guy cough once.

I cough taking a sh-t.

This guy "has the Virus" yet talks an hour straight without so much as a cough or sneeze. 3 days in a row since he's "had it."

No and I hope you aren't serious with this comment.

Then you've got a lot of coughing ahead of you, because you're completely full of shit.

3 of the 4 Brooklyn Nets, including Kevin Durant were asymptomatic when they tested positive. Did you miss this?? Or the fact that it’s been reported throughout that many may have it and not know, thus are at greater threat of spreading it to be people who can least afford to contract it?

There’s a reason I’m not going to visit my 83 year old dad or 80 year old mom right now.

Btw- are you still calling for all to go back to work now, or before Easter? Or is it now a “war” and people should now stay inside?

To the folks who think the GOP would have been supportive of Hillary, I think Mitch McConnell would strongly beg to differ. 2010 on, he openly boasted about blocking Obama legislation, and a Supreme Court nominee. Let’s please not forget that.

Let’s also not forget a circa 2010 rallying cry against ACA was to save grandma from the death panels. Curious where those party “family values” have gone when grandma is now just in overtime or extra innings.

1st I don't follow basketball, when did the Nets move to Brooklyn.....ah skip it, I don't care.

As for back to work before Easter, never said that, I said "soon". Still feel that way, very soon. President said April 30, I'm good with that. He and his team are doing an outstanding job, so I'm good with their decisions so far. He always has one eye on the economy, unlike Hillary who would not have, but she lost so thank God we don't have that nightmare going on now.

Some guy accosts a man standing outside his own home and then files a police report? Some people need to take a breath.

You are missing the point. Mr Quarantine. Mr Social Distance. Mr Bullsh-t.

I mail a letter it pretty much gets there in a few days and costs me under a buck. Can't come close to that privately. There are just some things that don't work well privatized, like roads sewers, and political campaigns.

What Todd said about the finances is spot-on.
