Walmart, Walgreens, Target and others say they'll now host coronavirus testing drive-thrus in their parking lots "Normally we're viewed as competitors but today we're focused on a common competitor, and that's defeating the threat of the coronavirus"

Dude, a screening site is basically going to be like a search engine, which Google is extremely good at.
Yeah, these are people who run companies that most of the country depend on. I don't understand the cynicism at all.

That's actually telling of what government thinks is going to happen.

I can appreciate a good heckling, but I'm learning quite a lot about the motives of some pundits right now and how it shapes the public paradigm. As weeks go on, I'm less convinced of the virus' seriousness. I'm not implying that we should do nothing, but there is clearly an effort to make a huge deal out of this. Again, not saying it isn't a big deal, but this lens is smeared by a thick layer of vaseline.
I think Trump is b.s.-ing people and will be called out for it while at the same time folks will ignore the regulation-shredding and the corporate handshakes. I'm glad that brands are at least stepping up. The media is doing its part to made things look as bad as possible, and if the t.p. and hand-sanitizer rushes are any indication, people will panic based on little to no info and will do stupid or even harmful things.
The media needs to make a public commitment to accurate reporting during this period of time to help avoid panic. These scumball corporations are at least trying to step up. Where's CNN and MSNBC?

So knocking down industry regulations left and right as a response to an emergency....I'm sure there wont be any unintended effects from this.

Why is it a dog and pony show? He's called in executives of major companies that have the resources to really help out and they are committing to helping out. Why not have them come speak? It shows a lot of good solidarity for the nation, too.

You got us, we JOOOOOS released the virus to make all those Shekels. JOOOOO GOLD doesn't pay for itself my friend.
We tried controlling banks, hollywood and weather machines, but this Virus stuff is where its at. Notice how no JOOOOS are infected. Don't believe the fake news about AIPAC or the Jews in New York or those infected in Israel.

Yep. I was planning on buying some more if it dipped below $20,000, but looks like that might not happen.
Good incentive for them to get on board with this and do a damn good job.

Time to put China in their place. It's no joking matter and they're playing games as if they have any leverage.
Trump better send Lighthizer.
