Just In Case You’ve Been Missing Devin Nunes
Good ole Devin was back on Fox News last night fighting that damn ole science with Laura Ingraham.
He thinks it’s overkill to close California schools.
Congressman Devin Nunes (R-CA) stated that it is “overkill” for schools in his home state of Califonia to be closed in light of the coronavirus pandemic on Laura Ingraham‘s Fox News program late Tuesday night – further downplaying the severity of COVID-19.
“The schools were canceled here in California, which is way overkill.”
There’s overkill and there’s way overkill. Making Nunes read and understand a whole chapter in any high school science book when a whole paragraph is pushing it is overkill. Then making him go on Laura Ingraham’s show to defend it is way overkill.
I guess “way overkill” is one way to describe what California is trying to prevent by closing its schools until the pandemic has burned its way through the state. Devin Nunes’ cow is smarter than he is.
1Set an example for everyone and send your own brood first…. bastard. I don’t know why we just don’t call this the American holocaust- GoPanzer SS and MSM propagandists. Jackboots on ICE using up supplies of facemasks. Keeping children in cages when calls to release them to safe areas abound. Led by Der Fewer*, presiding over his personal genocide re-election campaign.
2Nunes is behind the curve here on the latest propaganda. It’s a terrible threat that only the president in his infinitely wise wisdom was able to recognize, while all around him even the experts were saying “what virus?” Now strong men with tears in their eyes are thanking him for saving their wives and daughters from this terrible scourge caused by the democrats and China.

US STOCKS-Dow falls 600 points to start second quarter as virus anxiety grows.
April 1 (Reuters) – The Dow Jones fell 600 points on Wednesday as investors fled to safe-haven assets after new orders for U.S.-made goods plunged to an 11-year low and the White House issued a dire warning on the U.S. death toll from the coronavirus pandemic.

Spoiler Alert –
People were not jumping out of their vehicles but
6**it does happen.
Leave it to a second amendment Republican to include both the words ‘school’ and ‘overkill’ in a single sentence, with complete lack of awareness.
7I watched the PBS show on polio last night – it took about ten years to get the vaccine. I think this virus might tie us up in knots for some time, and I am not willing to sacrifice my grandkids or their teachers, just as I’m not willing to sacrifice myself for the economy. Caveat – I am willing for Dan Patrick to sacrifice himself!
8What Grandma Ada said.
9Since Dan Patrick appears to be willing to take a chance to assure the safety of our grandkid’s economy. I suggest a concrete example of how he might add value to that effort.
A well designed clinical trial testing the for effectiveness of the vaccine and/or therapeutic solutions to Covid 19 will have to include a control group (e.g., no treatment or standard of care-in these cases, palliative care). Please volunteer for the control group as I am sure there will be openings.
I am not even suggesting that he volunteer for the initial safety trial establishing the safety by dose escalation. That would be really risky as the end point wold be to determine the upper dose limits before onset of unacceptable side effects with no assurance of benefit.
So Mr. Patrick, please help resolve this economic and health crisis by volunteering for the study as an elderly control group participant. You would make a real contribution to the effort.
10What Mel said, only add all Repugs to the trials.

New York (Reuters) – Wall Street’s three major indexes fell more than 4% on Wednesday, after President Donald Trump’s dire warning on the U.S. death toll from the coronavirus sent investors running from even the most defensive equities.
Trump warned Americans late Tuesday of a “painful” two weeks ahead and health officials highlighted research predictions of an enormous jump in virus-related deaths.
Economic data did little to lift the mood. While U.S. manufacturing activity contracted less than expected in March, new orders received to factories fell to an 11-year low. And business closures pushed private payrolls down by 27,000 jobs last month, the first decline since September 2017, according to the ADP National Employment Report.
But money managers mostly focused on Trump’s comments and those of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, a state badly hit by the virus.
“With comments from President Trump and Cuomo suggesting this is going to get worse before it gets better, investors are coming to the realization the virus will be with us for longer than they would have expected,” said Chris Zaccarelli, Chief Investment Officer, Independent Advisor Alliance, Charlotte, NC.
“Because of that the bear market is going to last longer,” he said. “The longer people stay home the longer it takes for the economy to restart and the longer it takes for corporate earnings to come back.”
The Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI fell 973.65 points, or 4.44%, to 20,943.51, the S&P 500 .SPX lost 114.09 points, or 4.41%, to 2,470.5 and the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC dropped 339.52 points, or 4.41%, to 7,360.58.
Even sectors generally seen as the safer bets because of high dividends saw a stampede to the exits. Real estate .SPLRCR and utilities .SPLRCU each declined 6%, making them the leading percentage losers among the S&P’s 11 major sectors.
Virus worries also heightened nerves over the upcoming earnings season which starts in roughly two weeks. Some companies have withdrawn their financial guidance.

megasoid, Don’t know where Reuters got those numbers, but they’re low. Per my Morningstar notice and ‘markets’ closing page, the Dow sunk almost 1000 points today [-973.65].
Plus it was down ~-410 yesterday the 31st.
When the full devastation finally sinks into the collective psyche, I still look for the Dow to hit 15,000 and down from there. Perhaps by June.
Worse if the death toll exceeds 1,000,000. You know tRump is lying about ‘only 100,000-240,000’ dead.
