Ina historic press conference,President Trump enlisted Google, Walmart, Target, Quest Labs, Walgreens , CVS, in fight against virus pandemic, warns ‘the next eight weeks are critical’
For me the defining take-away from the presser was, “this will pass.”
Dow pops 1,985 points as Trump’s national emergency enlists Google, Walmart in coronavirus fight
The nation’s biggest companies have joined together to fight the coronavirus
The major averages rebounded from a Thursday selloff that was their steepest since the Black Monday crash of 1987. All three lost at least 9.5 percent amid an avalanche of cancelations and postponement of large social gatherings and sporting events aimed at slowing the spread of the new coronavirus.
Friday’s gains come as the U.S. Congress, which was supposed to recess on Friday, works overtime to pass a stimulus package. Meanwhile, reports indicate Europe is set to announce measures on Monday that could amount to 1 percent of gross domestic product.
Some of the hardest-hit corners of the market were among the biggest gainers on Friday.
The cruise operators Carnival Cruise Corp., Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings and Royal Caribbean Cruises, which have collectively seen nearly $50 billion — or over 70 percent of their value — erased amid the selloff, all gained at least 20 percent early in the session before paring their gains.
American Airlines, Delta Air Lines and United Airlines, which have all lost more than half their value, were up at least 10 percent before pulling back.
The online travel-booking sites Expedia and Booking Holdings rose.
Bank stocks soared as the yield on the 10-year Treasury note climbed to 0.920 percent and the yield curve steepened. Financial institutions make the majority of their money from the difference between interest paid to depositors — who supply the money a bank lends — and interest charged to borrowers.
Big technology names, like Apple and Amazon were also in favor as Tesla shares dropped.
Meanwhile, the Walt Disney Company gained despite announcing the closure of both its Disney World and Disneyland theme parks.
On the earnings front, Gap reported better-than-expected top- and bottom-line results but warned it would take a $100 million revenue hit in the current quarter due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
Elsewhere, Slack Technologies, the workplace-messaging platform expected to benefit from more employees using technology to connect as they work from home during the outbreak, gave a disappointing first-quarter revenue forecast sending shares lower.

Jake Tapper looks exactly like Vlad the Impaler.
An acquired representation, no doubt.
He looks like the jackwad from elementary school who goes around sniffing the seats on girls’ bicycles.
I’m sick of the Corona virus.
LOL Yeah, that is for sure. The last few days OAN has about half their articles coronavirus this and that.
Meanwhile people continue to buy out toilet paper. Funniest thing I ever heard of.
I am in Redmond WA, about five miles from the outbreak at the retirement home, and there was no panic buying last weekend at our local QFC. Checkout guy said it was pretty crazy the week before, but as of last Saturday it was laid back and no empty shelves.
The butcher said people were not seeming panicked at all, though. This is less than five miles from the bulk of the virus related deaths in this state so far.
coronovirus is real but only 3% of those infected die. So its mot like ebola or plague.
But stock market is manipulated so if you are invested , get out of it before it crashes further.
Same here, the panic buying of toilet paper and bottled water which wiped out entire inventories over some garbage posted on social media.
If only people employed the same skepticism reading social media as they do while reading the Bible, if ever.
The Democrats are definitely the cause of the whole “panic this” and “panic that” syndrome here. And they are working in cahoots and collusion with the Chi-Comms, for sure.
Then, buy Heineken instead.
Add a slice of lime.
I call it the Kung Flu
You and a few other people, I’ve noticed. But it fits anyway.
Do you take any responsibility for the failure of the government to cure every American of the coronavirus before they contract it, Jake Tapper, Jim Acosta, Wolf Blitzer and the rest of the leftist-treason media scum, for the chaos you have distracted the President with by your conspiratorial false reporting and transparent criminal coup against him?
This is the question YOU need to be prepared to answer.
These very sadly sick and self-serving liars and frauds are doing the only thing they know how to do — attributing their own sloth, corruption and hypocrisy to the President who has indeed ACTED to minimize the threat that China has launched against us. But China, the primary source of their graft and treason, will nary be mentioned on CNN.
When around forty U.S. citizens have died (corona virus), as of Wednesday past, and the swine flu killed over SIXTEEN THOUSAND U.S. citizens …
The swine flu (H1N1) originated out of mezsko. So, mezskins “launched” that threat. What did we do? We continued to allow MILLIONS of spics in this country. Many of them on full-blown taxpayer support. Why didn’t we kill off every single spic, within the borders of this nation? Talk about a CNN coverup.
The media and the Democrats are working hand-in-glove with the Chinese government on this matter. All of their talking points come straight from official Chinese Communist propaganda. Even the Big Lie that anybody who calls this ‘Wuhan virus’ is “racist.” This is the REAL foreign meddling in the 2020 campaign, to unduly influence an election and manipulate the public into throwing away the last chance to change course and drag us back to the nightmare of One World globalist treason.
If Israel develops a Coronavirus, watch the BDS movement suddenly become as irrelevant as it ever was. Wouldn’t that be delightfully ironic. Yuge profits for whoever develops first. Go Capitalism!
coronavirus vaccin <3
Pelosi Announces Deal With Trump Admin On Coronavirus Relief
The package includes free coronavirus testing for everyone who needs a test, including the uninsured, paid emergency leave with two weeks of paid sick leave, and up to three months of paid family and medical leave, increased spending on unemployment benefits; more money to provide school lunches to students whose schools are closed; and an increase in Medicaid funding. Voting later Friday night.
Maybe you already know…. but if you don’t ….
You don’t want to know what was in the first spending bill for this. Let me put it this way, there was more foreign AID than domestic AID. DEMS put OTHER countries over OUR country. It was a pent up Christmas wish list for globalists.
How dey gone be usin’ dat extra school breakfast ‘n lunch money when dem schools done be closed?

Oops, yeah. Thanks.
This makes the WHO look like a bunch of performing chimps.
President Trump rightly is marshalling all the resources private and public of America as much to fight panic as the corona virus itself. It reminds me of how big corprations did everything to support the American war effort during WW2. One thing is missing. During WW2 movies, radio and print newspapers and magazines were all 100 percent behind winning the war. Today all of these same media industries plus TV are 100 percent against America winning the war against fear and the Corona virus.
Major problem here. As of Wednesday, only forty Americans had died from this virus. Close to 70% of them were in the same nursing home.
Swine flu had killed well OVER one thousand Americans, before obimbo took ANY action. Although it killed over sixteen thousand Americans .. no schools were closed. No special foreign aid. No additional taxpayer funding for abortions. No additional funding for school breakfasts and lunches … going to CLOSED schools. And, the list goes on.
Forty dead and you’re comparing this to WWII?
When Trump speaks he reassures Wall Street. He needs to do that more often.
Macron Confirms G7 to Hold Leaders’ Summit
via Videoconference over Coronavirus
VICTORIA FRIEDMAN 13 Mar 2020
…
Mr Macron announced via Twitter on Friday: “Following my call with Donald Trump and all G7 leaders, we agreed to organise an extraordinary Leaders’ Summit by videoconference on Monday on COVID-19.
“We will coordinate research efforts on a vaccine and treatment, and work on an economic and financial response.”
…
(Ms Trudy’s wife in Canada, has the virus.)
STOP! The “finnacial response” is up to you and other EU leaders.
The U.S. is NOT your piggy bank. Your tanking economy, prior to the virus is your problem.
….

Trump is from the pre-Globalfirm, era.
He’s so detached from kindness that he thinks his selling of weapons & missile defense system to Africans-enslaving, girls-declitorizing & vocal Non-muhammadists torturing & killing Saudi Arabia won’t make him an enemy of the state.
He didn’t prosecute officials that armed ISIS.
He armed ISIS-affiliated Erdogan with fighter jets & victims of Boko Haram imprisoning Buhari.
He allows plastic & mercury disposal in the oceans, PFAS & Fluoride in tap-water & environment, PFAS & aluminum in pots, estrogen & antibiotics in dairy & meat & pesticides on plant-food.
He keeps people in manual work to keep people from self-realization while I want to automize work to have the people sleeping healthily, not be at risk of infections, be self-educated, healthy & ready to self-realize themselves.
He’s from the Clinton-era.
You can fool some of the people some of the time but not all of the time.
For example while Trump wants the old monetary system that is responsible for having infected many people with the deadly corona-virus I now want to make ecological best quality basics free.
Cause it’s not what cheap, unhealthy food people buy but what healthy food the government ought to serve to the people. Selecting quality food is efficient when the government does it but not when everyone has to search for healthy food in the jungle of capitalism.
The reason why the world is so unorganized now is because Trump blocked my ascend to power.
I want to cultivate ecological best-quality basics which also proves it’s worth in emergency-situations such as now & support the individual to self-realization & eliminate Muhammadist caliphates as soon as possible.
If you love your health, love the American English language & want to be treated with kindness support the Globalfirm governance.
KINDNESS & HEALTH.
Look, I don’t know if I’m the Messiah, but if I’m the Messiah, I don’t wanna be the one who screwed up, ok?
So give me my money.
You need to find another resource place. Or is all of that just speculation? Because none of it is true.
Little wizzy is WELL beyond that point. No hope. No medication strong enough. Rubber room for the rest of its life.
This effectively demonstrates the advantages of having a lifelong businessman at the helm in the WH, someone who understands how a capitalist society can and should work.
It is a win for the vast percentage of the population but the corporations enjoy the dual benefits of positive image advertising plus the well-being of their customer base.
Brilliant!
Trump 2020!
The MarxiCrats are in mourning
Wow. That almost made up for what it lost the day before.
Not to mention it lost more than that in the first hour of trading on Monday…
