Let me guess, "We are the best and have been doing the best at responding to this flu. We will continue doing the best because we are the best. And when I say we I mean me. Oh and I don't have the virus."

Now that would be one hell of a lottery to imagine.

I mean has any of his speeches about anything really been any different though? Why would we expect anything unique here?

He just said, "We don't want everybody taking this test....it's totally unnecessary."

I think a lot of the ideas are pretty good.

To non-US people, I'll agree with you all that having Google build up a website and Walmart being a test center doesn't feel good, but Google is the best for search and Walmart is among the best in supply chain management.

Yeah, it sucks, but I think Google won't make Obamacare Website 2.0. We really can't afford this to be done half-assed.

Regarding supply chain, just imagine if you all had to ship tests to the entirety of Europe. It's just not an easy problem, and I don't think any gov't would be prepared to handle this scale.

You dropped out from a class on supply chain and you are now an expert?

Color me impressed.

I really don't get the people saying "can't shut down schools, who'll babysit the medical kids?"...like kids can't survive home if they're old enough to attend class.

Holy crap.

Spain update today is 2086 new cases and 47 deaths. They're up to over 5k total cases and had less than 500 5 or 6 days ago. They are on pace to pass Italy for total cases and deaths in about a week even with Italy continuing to accelerate.
