Yes, I do.

As people did in 1968 when one million died worldwide (100,000 in the US then - equivalent of 165,000 today) from H3N2 Hong Kong virus, as well as every pandemic ever since. Bird flu, swine flu, this flu, that flu, mad cow disease, etc. No economy crashed.

The difference is, we didn't have the 24/7 news cycle peddling panic porn as today.
Covid will die out when hurricane news season starts.  When does California fire season start?

Trump has accomplished a large number of really good things for this country, hardly incompetent.   But yes, he would like to get re-elected so he can continue doing good things for the country.  Imagine that.
His reaction to only real crisis he had to deal with -  the Corona-crisis - was a case bad management.
He will blame the others, of course, but they were not in charge. He was and still is.
a 100.000 people killed and 33 million unemployed; you can be sure they do not return all to a job.
Imagine that.

Where did I wrote it would be smooth? It will not be easy, but I prefer to live in a society that values human life above the $ and corporate greed.

Seemslike you ask a question, get the answer, and twist it to conform to your uninformed opinion. It must be tiring.
I wish Portugal well.  Heck, we all need a lot of luck now.  But I don't see much difference between our two countries.  To say we don't care about our own people is very insensitive thing to say.  It's insulting. It's political. It's also wrong.

You live 3000 miles away on another continent.  You have no personal knowledge of what we're doing here.  You read the fake news American press and parrot all the bad things about Trump and my country.  You don't drive around like I did yesterday and see every store closed except grocery stores and maybe a pizza shop or two.  You didn't see every person who was out wearing a mask.  You apparently didn't read how Trump and America built hospitals, sent medical ships, and helped during the worse outbreak in the worse areas.   At least 90,000 health workers have been infected with hundred dying. We're working day and night to heal people and keep people economically whole.  The fact we've shut down our entire economy says something. There are 30 million out of work already. 

You seem to want to make political points and insult us.  Why don't you worry about your own country.  You might be counting your chickens before they hatch.

Well the way some people here put out "shock posts", not naming anyone ( Slobo ), it seems like they really don't care about the loss of life. I know that's just their act to get attention...but with these insensitive posts you can see why people feel like some Americans are insensitive to the issues on hand and only care about themselves.

Bad management?  Really?  He is in charge of the Federal effort and aside from the CDC screwing the pooch on early tests and the fact that we have moved production of so many things offshore, the Feds have done a pretty good job on their end.

The States shoulder the burden of doing what is needed in their respective States. The good and the bad fall on them.  The Feds are just a backstop to their efforts. 

Yea, lots of lives lost, Trillons of dollars lost, many business will never recover. WORLDWIDE  Welcome to reality.  Its sucks but we have China to thank for that.

Well, so far we have one death, one broken arm, and one body slam. I can only imagine what violence hasn't been reported in the national news as security guards try to enforce the wearing of masks in stores.

Actually he has, for the parts he is responsible for. Everyone else has to shoulder their part of the story, but I know it simply won't fit your rabid Trump hater views.

Does that include drinking bleach or saying we have this virus totally under control back at the end of Februrary. Or was his statement that the virus will magically disappear show his great leadership? Or does his rooting on protestors in Democratic states show his true leadership.

Trump is a major failure from many views. His sheeple see things differently...but hey...they were stupid enough to vote for him so now they have him...at least until November.

So Chez has learned his lessons of propoganda well.  Tell the big lie long enough and loud enough and hope it becomes the truth.  How utterly sad for you.

Trump is rooting on FREEDOM.  Not that you can understand that. But please, keep calling Trump voters stupid, and help re-elect him in 2020.

Just spoke to a client of mine in NYC about shooting a few projects.  So things seem like they could be moving on up there to. 

Anyone able to get COIs?  I heard last week no insurance agencies were issuing any. 

On top of that, he said block and stoop parties were common all throughout this.

Well Trump had 4 years to make America great again. Let's see...Thousands of people dying daily and over 30M unemployed and estimated 25% of businesses won't return. Yeh...give him four more years and he'll totally screw the US.

Weird. Is it really worth getting into a fight for? Makes you wonder how anyone gets through the day with all these imagined slights.

I don't think that all Trump voters are stupid. Many are, of course, but many others are racists, immoral, or woefully misinformed.
