He's scared, that's certain.
President Trump said Saturday night that he will not impose a quarantine on New York, New Jersey and Connecticut but would instead issue a “strong” travel advisory to be implemented by the governors of the three states.
Mr. Trump made the announcement on Twitter just hours after telling reporters that he was considering a quarantine of the three states in an effort to limit the spread of the coronavirus to Florida and other states.

NY Post:
The Trump administration has added the firearms industry — gun shops included — to a federal list of critical infrastructure during the ongoing coronavirus emergency.
The new language, added Saturday to the website of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, now deems as critical “Workers supporting the operation of firearm or ammunition product manufacturers, retailers, importers, distributors, and shooting ranges.”
Previously-designated critical industries include energy, food production, emergency services, government offices, transportation and healthcare.

This punitive, you-but-not-you parceling out of supplies and equipment will surely be looked back on as Trump's most horrifying and incomprehensible action through all of this, unless something worse is on the way.

another very ugly thing about this is that it spurs people to lower themselves to that level.
like in that tweet thread are new yorkers saying we actually deserve more resources than other states because of the federal tax revenue we generate per capita.
how about, resources go where they are needed!

i'm with you - i really do think it's straight up murder. white collar murder, on a mass scale. people in executive positions are often forced to make decisions that really do lead to life and death results. choosing which conflicts to enter, or to ignore. states not expanding medicaid to their most vulnerable citizens, that's another form of it. but even that seems more indirect. the situation now, with trump and some of the dumbfuck governors, really does lead to a very predictable range of deaths, in the short term, and he's choosing to favor the lives of people who live in states where he gets along with the governor. he can't die soon enough
― Karl Malone, Sunday, 29 March 2020 16:25 (four years ago) link
yes. politics is life and death, all the time, so no difference there. this seems unique, still, because 1.) there is no way to spin it and 2.) the reasoning is completely stupid and based on the whims of one person, not the interests of the business class or whatever

In stimulus news, I am wondering if most people, like with the 2008 stimulus, might be reluctant to spend theirs, and add it to their savings. Nobody could blame most people for doing that, but that's one thing that prevented the 2008 stimulus from being effective.
There's also confusion about how it works. I'm seeing friends basically saying they'll just save it because it's just going to come out of their taxes next year, which of course isn't true. People are seeing the word "advance" as if it means this $1,200 is an 'advance' from their refund next year, so then when they file taxes next year, if their refund was calculated at $2,000, they'll only get $800 since they already got $1,200 the previous year.
When in reality, it's an advance of a one-time refundable tax credit newly created for 2020, so it isn't impacting your tax refund for 2020 or 2019 at all (other than the possibility that you get overpaid this year because your pay in 2018/2019 was drastically lower than it is in 2020, but that part is murky - government hasn't said whether you'd have to pay any portion back yet). You just don't get the credit next year since you got the check already, but your tax refund or liability is what it would have been had there been no stimulus at all.
As for me, I'm going to commission another Police Academy movie with mine.

When our $2400 arrives it's going in the bank and staying there, as part of the "get us the fuck out of this insane, rapidly devolving country" fund. The country I want to live in says you have to have a certain amount in the bank in order to apply for a residence permit, the number is right on their immigration website, so that's our target, plus a few grand more for lawyers' fees and stuff. $2400 is about 5% of what we need. Not a lot, but not nothing.

Interesting in a "root for injuries" sort of way. If only he could set up some kind of Deadhead situation where his knuckle-walking followers could follow him from rally to rally in their RVs, only interacting with (and thereby infecting) each other.
Trump officials are talking loosely about when rallies can resume, looking at end of April/early May, and looking at whether they can be done differently so attendees aren’t all pressed against each other. https://t.co/4EaqgFqwnU— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) March 29, 2020
