All it takes is for one H-E-B employee to get the flu, not even Corona, and for H-E-B to shut that store down, even for one day, or just a few hours. There will be a mad rush to every grocery store in town.
Cuban also kept saying he couldn't believe it was real, it was like a movie. Looked a bit scared IMO too. Also said every player knew the season had been suspended.

The only benefit of Trump downplaying is that the stores haven't been rushed. Store can handle the slow waves of initiative taking individuals. There will still be a mass rush eventually though which they won't be able to handle.
Even people that are aware of what's happening are shocked when it becomes reality to them.
Great leadership tbh
It's a fine line to walk. I do wish the basic precautions to take were being pushed more. I think yesterday Pence tweeted out something that basically no Americans have seen.
Leadership fail. See how DJT handed off to Pence then Kushner. Our President doesn't want to be seen as being in charge of the federal response.
Naturally, Trump’s attempt to use the flu to somehow prove the novel coronavirus isn’t so bad have involved false stats, like that the mortality rate for the flu is “much higher than” COVID-19, and easily debunked lies like that a vaccine is just around the corner. (“It’s a little like the regular flu that we have flu shots for,” he said two weeks ago. “And we’ll essentially have a flu shot for this in a fairly quick manner.”) While Fauci has repeatedly countered that the actual expected timetable is 12 to 18 months, on Wednesday he was more blunt in shutting down Trump’s fantasy timeline. “No,” he said when asked if there was any merit to the president’s assertion that a vaccine might be ready in just a few months. “I made myself very clear in my opening statement.” Elsewhere, Fauci, who has served under six presidents, generally took aim at Trump’s assertion that everything is fine and that the virus will just “go away” on its own. Asked if the worst is yet to come, he responded unequivocally, “Yes, yes it is.”

I bought six weeks of chicken, pork, and beef to throw in the deep freeze last week when it was widely apparent community spread was well under way in the US (can't stand frozen fish though). In addition to cereal, oatmeal, rice, beans, potatoes, and canned vegetables plus lots of soap. And a load of eggs since they'll usually be good for a month, plus they're cheap and I eat a lot of them anyways. I don't need to be out at the grocery store too often interacting with people who are working sick to make rent.
The law defines recklessness as knowing disregard of or indifference to a known risk. One extremely credentialed doctor who serves as a public health advisor is testifying that DJT disregarded the known risks of coronavirus but went one step further in actively disseminating incorrect information. That action is directly tied to hampering the governments response.
Many have commented that this isn’t about red or blue. I agree. This is about science and truthfully speaking to the public. Hopefully the government can get its act together because we frankly need it right now. But how can anyone look at this whole situation and not point a finger at a charlatan who’s obviously more concerned with his re-election prospects - in the least subtle way possible - at the direct expense of peoples lives?
Fauci directly contradicting WH messaging might have prompted Trump's delegation of the emergency. DJT is in way over his head after three years of diligently dismantling the civil service.
"A top Italian doctor said intensive care wards should place an age limit on beds as a way of prioritising medical resources amid the deepening crisis..."

Spiro Interview - How The Coronavirus Is Being Used To Control You And Remove Your Rights
Trump
Trump said ZERO about how our health system will attempt to handle the soon-to-be overwhelming of hospitals and the shortage of ventilators...
funny - but this hole administration had zero problems ramping up tents and cages for people seeking asylum
and
zero problem trying to sound an alarm with dire warnings of “impending caravans” and
fox news calling it an invasion....
but when russia attacked - *crickets
coronavirus pandemic- *crickets and mealy-mouthed incompetence and misinformation...
Who gives a ? Is he supposed to be happy to be delivering an address knowing 40% to 70% of the country is going to contract this virus before it can burn itself out?
BB thiking Trump has any feelings now.
Yeah Trump cares what happens to anybody but himself, buddy. Sure stuff
Why do you need guns? Just call the police.
