President Trump met for hours over the weekend with Dr. Anthony Fauci, Dr. Deborah Birx, and the rest of the great team he assembled on the Coronavirus Task Force. After reviewing new data, it became clear that his aspirational goal of having the country back in business on Easter weekend had to be adjusted.
Along with the left/right divide in America and around the world, another split is becoming evident. It's between those who choose hope and optimism and those, particularly in the media and on the left, who seem to have a vested interest in despair, panic, and pessimism.
As we warned, the new weekly jobless figure released yesterday was horrific. We cringe at the news of each coronavirus death as we should. But each of these 3.28 million people are going through their own nightmare. Some worse than others.

(COVID-19) is affecting most nations in the world. Germany announced today that it is sealing its borders.

Given the mass hysteria that we're getting from the media, I want to provide some thoughts and analysis on the coronavirus, the economy, and how both may impact the elections.
