I've an abundance of derring-do, but you would call it "rash". I am quintessentially fluid, indulgent, unmatched in ardor. I am unflinchingly faithful, secretive & illusive, & I cherish your confidence as you cherish mine. Two approaches work with me

The federal government is limited like it's supposed to be.
Most hospitals(I've stated this before), are corporate and/or state run. Who's doing the inventories, organization, and planning? It's not on the federal government for that. They're supposed to be in support of if needed.
ALL are at the mercy of the manufacturing, packaging, and shipping processes. If orders are placed, they don't get filled. They're still finding stock piles of things here and there. How did so much become misplaced and/or unaccounted for? Who's doing the records keeping?
They ARE managed by JP Morgan, while he is president.

President Trump Reveals His Stock Market Investments, Here's What We Learned
Simon Moore Senior Contributor
Investing
Trump's investment holdings across different trusts. These trusts are currently managed by J.P.Morgan since the President is not involved investment decision making process. These investments are likely a much smaller portion of Trump's overall wealth than some of his business interests, nonetheless, looking at the portfolio composition and fund selection yields some insights.
Tracking The S&P 500
Trump's investments in the market are not all that unique. One of the larger holdings across Trump's various fund holdings is the SPDR S&P 500 ETF, which is a very popular fund tracking a very popular index. This is a liquid and inexpensive and way to track the largest U.S. firms, however, it costs 0.09% a year, and both Vanguard and iShares operate essentially equivalent funds for 0.04% or less, so Trump is likely over-paying, given that this is a passive investment product and results across all three trackers will typically be similar except for costs.
I know Mclaren and Munson started taking over big time in my state starting around 2014 or so.
They seem to have gotten pretty fat. I'm not too impressed with either one so far but I really haven't had to use them enough to make an actual assessment.
what his businesses hold, which are also out of his control, I can't say.
While those companies are SUPPOSED to be divested, they are controlled by his family,
which lets face it, are actually controlled by Trump himself.
One of them he sold was among the first he had to deal with.
But, I like this company, which is available in MI;
Trump’s businesses and real estate holdings around the globe leave the potential for unprecedented conflicts of interest during his presidency, which Trump has pledged to address by handing his businesses to his three eldest children.
Some legal experts have argued that will not go far enough. His children are helping his presidential transition and daughter Ivanka sat in on a meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
Trump’s stock holdings were one part of his presidential decisions that could have affected his personal fortune. For example Trump’s proposals to loosen financial regulations and promote American energy production could have boosted some of the companies in which he invested.
Saudi Arabia increased production hoping to drive some of the competition out by out lasting them. That was the original reason for drop in gas prices.
I'm not sure if it's still the same or giving a break during the this virus.
What it actually did was release the hold Saudi Arabia and other OPEC companies had around the globe.
and to the people sick and to the people out of work.
As to waking late, I'm narcoleptic (and a nonconvulsive epileptic--partial seizures). I have very peculiar sleep troubles, and I stopped using most pharmaceuticals to manage the problem in 2015 when I was diagnosed and deemed "disabled". I had been taking a lot of meds to manage my sleep cycle so I could work on someone else's schedule: Knocked myself out to sleep, jacked myself up to work. I don't do that to my body any more so there's no telling when I'll be awake or asleep.
My brother-in-law uses medical marijuana vaping to help control his epilepsy.
Some federal agencies were merged and some people resigned. He appointed new people.
The merging cut out some middle people. You would have had the sequence of events for that in the link you deleted too.
For raph,
those numbers were the current numbers available at the time. I never said any thing about them set in stone. We won't know the full figures until it's done. Even then, it may not be done.
With current information. It's all still comparable and still maybe better than some of the worst from our past.
Sad when people try to make it sound like we're unique when the odds are higher that we have natural selection processes just like the rest of nature.
So far we can fight every thing better, being a developing and adapting species. There's still that possibility the time is coming where all the politics in the world, won't be able to be twisted and turned to what people want it to be. It really will be an almost ultimate killer of man.
Every thing is still decimals to date.
But, that may increase soon, as it peaks. It's more like 50% for those who
need to go on a ventilator. Your attempts to minimize this is dangerous to yourself and others.
H1N1- 60.8 million infected over 12,000 deaths and no shut down.
Current figures I heard earlier today; over 200,000 infected with 50% tested Asymptomatic. It's going to be hard to shut out something where many won't, actually become sick from it. That's how it gets around. There isn't any real defense against something like that any where.
This coronavirus has a higher infection rate. The fact that many infected with little or no symptoms actually makes the shut-down MORE necessary. If we knew who was infected, we could just isolate them only.
An estimated 45 million cases and estimated 61,000 deaths from flu alone 2017-2018. Vaccines available but it's an annual thing now for ever it seems. Every year we lose thousands.
We all need to do everything we can to stay alive until then, and also not infect others.
We also need to better prepare for the next virus.
This includes voting for people who put American's health above $$$.
One of the latest models drops the total death rate to about 1.83%. this was based on gathered data and studies with other factors not accounted for. It even added that it could be substantially lower. Since numbers change all of the time, we wont know much again until another model is produced. Another report suggested a rate of .66% but didn't match the Lancet report any where.
Some results from new york using plasma from virus survivors and malaria drugs is showing positive results already. "..It's a game changer", is the description given by one doctor using the malaria drug treatments.
The reason it's bad already and going to get much worse is because the virus is so contagious and transmitted even my asymptomatic carriers. That meant a huge reservoir of carriers built up before we realized how deadly the virus is for some. That huge reservoir of carriers, and the time lag for shutting down and folks taking safety seriously, meant a huge wave sick people was bound to hit all at once. Because of this, the system being overwhelmed with insufficient PPE and respirators, many more ill die than otherwise would have had this perfect storm of impediments to care not manifested. This disaster has also been amplified into fruition by the gross incompetence and venal positioning to make profit by, and avoid losses, by Trump who turned away test kits offered by the WHO and minimized the danger to avoid damaging the stock market--which was his only selling point for getting re-elected. In the end the overall mortality from the virus may be quite low but, among certain demographics, it's devastating. Erring on the side of minimizing it is just plain rash, arrogant and stupid. Your cavalier attitude, if coupled with cavalier behavior, makes you a threat and a vector of death. You need to get a clue.
