Wasn't referring to you. Opinions from supposed "experts" are all over the map on issues like will warm weather weaken or strengthen the virus? I perused at least a dozen articles and there was wide divergence of opinion.

I think we should all take info shared on here with a grain of salt Because we all come from different backgrounds, cultures, but we do have one thing in common..mongering..lol

Did they gamble and make a profit from those expenditures?

You seem to be confused between the FED and the banks. The banks got crushed in 2008. The FED is the one that made $$$ on the bailout loans.

That doesn't tell me which articles you are referring to. Make more sense to start from common ground.

Just look at the first dozen or so articles that pop up on the first google page. That's what I looked at. There was no consensus.

That was in response to Slim's question, not about the banks.

Have you ever considered the greed of public sector employees?
Cops, firemen, and municipal workers who work max overtime their final year to pump up their pension payout?
Public school teachers (the WORST!) who cash out with 300+ sick days?
The above all make 6 figures in my county.
And they are bankrupting us!

Correction on the quarantine post: 2773 includes all the people who have self-quarantined in New York State due to potential exposure to one of the 100 people in New York State that have the coronavirus. The majority of those people are related to the case in Westchester County, NY (the lawyer). There are some misleading headlines that say "NYC" to encourage people to click, but when you read the article, it is a NYS statistic.

In New York City (the five boroughs of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, Staten Island), there are:
  • 13 confirmed coronavirus cases as of today (mandatory quarantine)
  • 146 cases came back negative
  • 76 tests are outstanding (self-quarantined)
Logically, all the numbers will rise with confirmed cases growing. NYC Mayor Bill De Blasio talked about the 13 people today that will receive random police and health worker visits to enforce the quarantine. Those people will be fined if they leave their house. He attributed the three initial New York cases to international travel. As @krideynyc knows, community spread is what happens after that.

The most vulnerable are people with any or multiple of these five preconditions: Heart Disease, Lung Disease, Cancer, Compromised Immune System, Diabetes; AND are over the age of 50. An additional factor they are concerned about are people that are smokers/vapers as that appears to make people more vulnerable.

The vast majority of people without these risk factors will experience the virus like a common cold and will not require hospitalization. That lesson was learned by watching the international community of people that contracted the virus. And that's partly why so many people can self-quarantine. A healthy person over 50 will normally do fine (even though you should be more cautious if you are over 50). It will not be pleasant, but you are not likely to die.

Here's the mayor's full briefing. I recommend listening to at least the first 11 minutes where he addresses the facts and the many myths out there:

I get that. Couldn't help notice though that your first several posts on the topic had a distinct anti-Trump flavor to them.

Since he is in charge of the White house his administration has our health and financial wellbeing so I hold them accountable as we are currently in this quagmire which regardless of party affiliation affects us all

I get the impression (though I could be wrong), that you are employed in the public sector.
Education administrator, CUNY professor, something like that.
People in the public sector have a VERY different perspective than those of us in the private.
I understand that difference. But it seems, sometimes, that the public sector people do not.

Oh trust me, I’m super far from working in the public sector, I would be quickly fired for making some crude remark to a female coworker or even worse have an affair with her

I work amongst LE (biggest mongers FYI) teachers, business owners etc so I empathize with all points of view. I comprehend the burdens of starting your own business and getting fucked over with taxes and regulation. At the same time I also understand that my tax dollars goes to support all of us so I want teachers and cops, basically people that take care of me, my friends and family be well compensated. Why are we constantly sucking big corporate dick and please don’t tell me the old “they create (low wage) jobs” cause it’s been proven bs

Most of us here are live around the NY tri-State area and we’re in a bubble. NYC is like a city-State, a world on its own. Even if we do bad it’s not as severe as the rest of the country. So I guess I am idealistic and what I expect is fairness regardless of party affiliation

They effectively used taxpayer money to finance the bail out, and then kept all the profits. And some of you are arguing that's a good thing?

Not a good thing but the world was on the brink of a financial collapse..even the cash was going to run out..Because where pulling American dollars cash out of all accounts worldwide in early Sept of that year..that tripped a safety measure at the federal reserve..
