For sure. But the primary source is old orange face himself - he is the tail wagging the dog. Fox, Hannity, Rush are all invested in him and his reelection. Their blind, biased support has made any trump fail a reflection on them. There is a benefit to independent thought and opinion - something they know not of. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/stock-market-news-live-march-12-013620137.html Quote President Donald Trump reiterated his reassurances amid the global coronavirus pandemic, saying he expects markets will recover from their steep losses, according to a Bloomberg report Thursday. “It’s going to all bounce back and it’s going to bounce back very big,” Trump said at the White House Thursday during a meeting with Ireland’s Minister Leo Varadkar, Bloomberg reported.

This is not the case, correct? Read into it as you wish. My recollection wasn't perfect and I amended it. I think using a faulty test could be just as harmful, Point being you would find fault regardless of how this were handled. Yet I have yet to see a bolded and font size increased rant about China allowing this to become a global pandemic. 1 1 Link to comment

The only accurate test I'm aware of (and I'm no expert) is a CT scan of the lungs. 1 Link to comment

Yet I have yet to see a bolded and font size increased rant about China allowing this to become a global pandemic. I'm not usually one to argue with someone who lives and dies by right wing talking points. I learned long ago that it is useless. What I am going to do is share this message. China has done everything it can to contain the virus. Watch any zombie movie/ show, no matter how well you contain something a carrier always gets through. We should have had a secondary line of protection at our ports of entry. This article outlines exactly how someone who was a carrier got into our country, even person 1 here in Nebraska. I know you won't read it because it doesn't fit your narrative and facts don't matter to folks like you, but this will be my one and only attempt to helping you see the failures of the Trump administration in mitigating this outbreak for US citizens. Pretending like the pandemic wasn't happening, wasn't going to hit us, and then that it was all under control instead of testing ill people at the point of entry is why we are now dealing with it and having our lives so thoroughly disrupted now. All that security and safety at Camp Ashland was undone by improper training, handling, and messaging. - I'm out. He said "the alarm bells" sounded when he saw how the outbreak was being addressed at San Francisco International Airport. "They literally had no idea what they were doing," he said, adding that one airport official even admitted that since things had escalated so quickly they were in disarray. As passengers got off the plane, no one was at the gate to recording their temperatures, he said.

All of these cancellations have been pretty sudden though. Big 10 and 12 had already started their tournaments then were abruptly cancelled. Seems to me the Dance is going to suffer the same fate.
