You’re just upset because I was right at the time (because I actually knew the information being provided) and you thought you could call me out. I’ve showed you I was right and you were wrong, but you don’t want to address that do you?

Except you weren't right...not at all...you were parroting misinformation while real healthcare experts knew the wild projections were wrong...7% mortality rate is not even close to reality

Ever think that the stock buybacks were getting out of debt? Probably directed by their reorganization filings? I'm not in favor of high exec bonuses during those times but I don't think that even with those bonuses they could have stayed solvent during this issue. Once again, you can say let them die off and the hardiest survive but you need to understand the depth that earthquake would go. Really understand it.

You seem to be invested in the airlines in some way. I've flown on TWA, PanAm and Eastern each of which were the pinnacle in their day and watched each of them disappear. The same thing will happen with Delta, American and United until they learn how to run a business.

Richard Branson, a billionaire, is begging for money for one of his airlines from the British government. While he awaits his requested money he is isolating on his private island in the Caribbean.

An open letter to Virgin employees

Let him file bankruptcy and reorganize the old fashioned way when a business fails.

Unlike airlines here in this country, he is only asking for a loan:

This would be in the form of a commercial loan – it wouldn’t be free money and the airline would pay it back (as easyJet will do for the £600m loan the government recently gave them).

I have no problem with that.

If airlines go broke they go broke I don't want the Government saving them like they did the banks!

Actually I wish they'd treat the airlines like the banks. The banks for the most part got loans in 2008 that they had to pay back. In this CARES Act the airlines only have to pay back 30% of what they get. That's BS

So are there so many people in line because they have no food at home?
And if so is it because they have no money or because the grocery store is empty because of hoarding and people buying mass quantities to give to food banks?
Or, are they in line for free stuff because they don't have anything else to do?
I remember seeing something on Flint MI, where people were in line to get free bottled water, not because they needed it, but because it was free.

Probably some of each, but I'm betting that many people wouldn't be in line just to have something to do. Lines suck (unless mirrors are involved.)

Why does a billionaire need government help? Well I guess he does if he isn't willing to spend his own money?

Many businesses need cash flow. All he wants is a loan. He very well may not have that kind of cash laying around. If he defaults on it, take his casinos or whatever. I have no problem with this

Chris Cuomo is ridiculed for 'staging' reunion with his family after 'several weeks locked in his basement' - nine days after he left his Hamptons mansion and had a row with a 'loser fat biker'

Chris Cuomo has been mocked for filming a 'reunion' with his family after 'several weeks locked in his basement' - even though he admitted leaving his home just nine days ago.

The CNN anchor posted footage on his Instagram on Monday night showing him walking up the stairs to greet his kids at his Hamptons mansion, three weeks after he went into 'quarantine' to recover from coronavirus.

But Cuomo has been accused of staging the clip after he revealed he left his home on Easter Sunday - two weeks after testing positive - and confronted a 'fat biker' who asked him why he wasn't in quarantine.

The biker, only identified as David, claimed Cuomo stormed over and asked: 'Who the hell are you? I can do what I want!'

'He just ranted, screaming, "I'll find out who you are!",' David said. He then reported Cuomo to East Hamptons Police.

'I said to him, "Your brother [Andrew Cuomo] is the coronavirus czar, and you're not even following his rules — unnecessary travel,"' David told the New York Post in an interview last week.

'I hate bullies,' David said.

David has since said he has no plans to press charges unless he feels threatened.

Twitter users accused Cuomo of staging the video and called out CNN for their 'lies'.

We did the right thing, because if we didn't do it, we would have had a million people.. a million and a half people.. maybe two million people dead.

I’m curious why you think that many would have died when there’s no data to support that from what I see. The early models that were clearly wrong don’t count as data to support your claim because there was nothing to support those predictions. So why do you think that many?

A 10-year-old girl from Texas who made hand sewn coronavirus masks for healthcare workers at her local hospital has died in a tragic ATV accident.

The fifth grader, whose mother is a nurse at the Knox County Hospital District, inspired her community when she made masks for Anson General Hospital workers earlier this month.

With school closed Lexi spent hours sewing 100 colorful coronavirus masks.
