twa Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Didn't one of the Dem congresscritters meet with the Iranian official that died? maybe they are all infected now . in other news airlines are being required to provide contact info for passengers, the govt asserts they are not being as cooperative as possible. https://theweek.com/speedreads/899552/major-airlines-officials-reportedly-odds-over-ways-track-passengers-coronavirus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted March 3, 2020 Author Share Posted March 3, 2020 11 hours ago, Renegade7 said: Solid article about social media giants , like facebook, taking stand on coronavirus misinformation. Which begs the question, why doesnt facebook take this stand on other dangerous forms of misinformation? Posting BS about global pandemics isnt free speech, Zuckerberg? https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/02/28/facebook-twitter-amazon-misinformation-coronavirus/ I would say no, it isn't free speech as it is akin to shouting fire in a crowded theater. Quote United States, 249 U.S. 47 (1919). It specifically rules on the limitation of freedom of speech (first amendment): The original ruling is this: The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man in falsely shouting fire in a theater and causing a panic. So deliberately spreading false information that may cause a panic is not protected speech. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tshile Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Emergency rate cut? that seems like a solution provided by a person that doesn’t understand the problem are people supposed to be more likely to go out in public because of a .5 rate cut? Are health departments going to not sure down schools and daycares because of a rate cut? what part of the underlying panic is addressed by cutting rates? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The administration is treating it as PR crisis rather than a health crisis. A PR crisis for the administration is measured by declining DJI price. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOF44 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) I have a friend that works at NIH in this area just sent him a message and asked if this was BS. His response. Trump is at nih whole campus is locked down Having a round table meeting about Coronavirus . Pretty sure no one is being quarantined. He said no idea about an agency shutting down a building. He says people are hugely overreacting. He said he's more worried about the regular flu at this point. Edited March 3, 2020 by HOF44 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping you can talk some sense into her. Told my lady friend that I wanted to take a vacation somewhere out of the country in the first week of November (I'm sure you can figure out the timing here). Preferably somewhere remote, no access to cell phones or anything. We were going to book it in the next month or so but that's not going to happen now.

FrFan Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Virus to dent Foxconn's consumer electronics revenue in first-quarter Foxconn, however, sought to allay investor concerns about the virus’ impact, saying it expects to resume normal production in China, its top manufacturing base, by the end of the March. The company’s “long-term cooperation” with suppliers will also help provide a cushion against the rise in prices of some components, Chairman Liu said.
