There will NOT be a ....Run On Banks...All accounts insured up to $250,000.

If the bank goes broke, you get your money back ...up to $250,000...Yes, banks have gone broke, and Savings and Loans too, (they also have same kind of insurance)...and savers have got their money back...from their accounts...
...........ALL THEIR MONEY BACK...ALL, up to $250,000


.....This was passed by the Congress in the 30s to prevent future runs on banks...It wasn't that large of an amount, but it has gone up since then...up to $250,000...................


JUST SO YOU KNOW, IT WAS PASSED BY A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS!!!!

I just listented to Governor Pritzker of Illinois give an update of what is being done to stop the

spread of the virus.

...He sounded very intelligent and knowledgeable. He touched a number of bases, and said he had sought help from experts from a number of areas. He had on other leaders of the state with information that they had and the contacts that they had made. Most important, it was clear that he had done his homework and gotten significant information on this subject and made it also clear that the purpose of the rules he was trying to put into effect was simple: to save lives, and stop the spread of the virus. He did sound as though he cared deeply about people and what is happening and the deaths and illness in Illinois. What else is there to say?

One good thing from this: When over, the Trump name will be totally worthless.

...There will be few if any "Trump" items around. Except for Fox News, Trump may not be asked to be interviewed. Trump will not be reelected. Trump museum not likely. How many events other than those for "true believers" will be held at Trump Hotels? Yes, 30 per cent may still admire the asshole, but when over, who will admit it? Keep in mind, many more people will get sick, and some may die. How will the country feel in late April? We don't see much about Bush Jr. who kind of keeps to himself. Will Trump do the same? Would Trump be able to shut up and keep to himself? (on this last one, I kind of doubt it)

An interesting opinion. Most of us here at Democratic Underground,would have done better than Trump.

Why? Because of intelligence, ability to listen to others, and empathy, we would have done, and will do a better job with this horrific virus situation than Donald Trump.
... Supposing we had the information that Trump has, and the access to top advise on how to transmit that information, (as the President of the United States has), we would have done a better job already. It is a sad reflection on Trump, but I am sure that what I just said holds true for many of us. We have all faced horrific events and issues and dealt with them. Remember that there is access to the very best information in the world to the President of the United States. And access to the top leaders of the world for that person to discuss how and why things should be done. Instead of being a "leader" Trump has shown by his actions and words to be far less than that.
... Of course this would be extremely hard and consuming, but because we would be representing this country, in most difficult times, we would rise to the occasion. Rarely has Donald Trump done that.

A positive aspect of Joe Biden as our nominee.

...Please do not underestimate this aspect of Joe Biden being our nominee for President of the U.S.A....
...Often when the name "Biden" is mentioned many people will think of Trump trying to get dirt on Biden's son, and then many will also remember that Trump is "a crook". Trump tried to get dirt on Biden's son, and he was impeached. Often people will immediately think about " Trump the crook."
...Further, most people know that what Trump did and was impeached for was indeed crooked. The Republican Party backed up Trump, and people will also think of that too. We are not talking about a minor aspect of Donald Trump. Trump has a lifetime of being a bully and doing crooked things. His past lawyer is serving a prison sentence , as you read these words, for the "Crooked Bully Donald Trump." Many of his other past associates are also serving prison time, or are going to. Trump enjoys being a "bully" and getting away with all sorts of things, and that is obvious..
...Donald Trump often screams and yells about "Obama did this and that " Biden will bring up in many minds, immediately, "the positive aspects of Barack Obama compared to the bully Donald Trump". Deep down in our hearts, the great majority of people everywhere, hate the "bully" and have awful memories of the bullies we have encountered. Trump personifies the ."crooked, pushy, mean bully. Joe Biden is the perfect opponent.
...Most honest people in the U.S. will think of the "Bully Donald Trump" when they vote in November. I remember the people who bullied me more than 50 years ago. And most people who vote next November, will also remember the bullies. And one more fact: bullies never apologize. And guess who else does not apologize?

Report that may have shifted Trump's Opinion, CNN

If you hit the link below, you will read an article that predicts as many as 1,000,000 deaths in the U.S. This report was given to the White House Task Force over the weekend.

updated 4:01 ET, Tuesday March 17, 2017, ... Nick Paton Walsh, CNN

title of article:

"US, UK coronavirus strategies shifted following UK epidemiologists' ominous report"
_________________________________________________________________________________

(CNN) — A study by UK epidemiologists predicts that attempts to slow, or mitigate -- rather than actively halt, or suppress -- the novel coronavirus could overwhelm the number of intensive care hospital beds and lead to about 250,000 deaths in the UK and more than a million in the United States during the course of the current pandemic.

The study, which has not been published in a peer-reviewed journal, was released on Monday by London's Imperial College COVID-19 Response Team, which says it is advising the UK government on its response strategy. The study says it used modeling that has informed the approach of the British government in recent weeks; on Monday, the government abruptly called on vulnerable and elderly Britons to isolate themselves for 12 weeks, and introduced a variety of social distancing and quarantine recommendations that days earlier seemed distant prospects.

Sir Patrick Vallance, chief scientific adviser to the UK, confirmed Tuesday that the Imperial College study was among those the UK government was looking at "What suppression in that paper talks about is exactly what we are doing," he said.

Also on Monday, President Donald Trump unveiled a 15-day plan to slow new infections in the United States, including more stringent recommendations about staying home and avoiding groups of 10 people or more, among other steps.

An author of the study, Imperial College Professor Neil Ferguson, said in an email to CNN on Tuesday the study was given to the White House Coronavirus Task Force over the weekend and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Monday.

The essence of Trump is his total stupidity. He made fun of something he knew nothing about.

He said words to effect that there would be 4 or 5 cases and then zero and it would go away. Trump thought he had knowledge about something, and he knew exactly nothing. He faked it, and the fake was totally wrong. Something to prove his stupidity to those who think he is not stupid. Further, this is about a "life and death matter" and he should have kept his mouth shut. But he had to fake it, and act like he knew it all, but all he did was prove that he is stupid and knew nothing about the issue. (And Yes, Trump had experts who he could turn to for more info, but he didn't turn to them, because he "knew it all." Now, sometime later, he has turned to the experts for information.
