Buffalo_Gal Posted July 21, 2020 Posted July 21, 2020 Press: The $600... how much lower? And if the economy is bouncing back, why do we even need it at all? Trump: Blabbing about the economy. They are thinking it about 70%, people are going to want to go back to work. He's saying how PPP was successful.
Buffalo Bills Fan Posted July 21, 2020 Posted July 21, 2020 Agree with President Trump on mask. They do help lots. 1
Buffalo_Gal Posted July 21, 2020 Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) Press: Why don't you use a mask? Trump: If you can, use a mask, when you can, use a mask. I do use it in the elevator. I used it at the hospital. I look at as if it can help... (paraphrased) Edited July 21, 2020 by Buffalo_Gal 1

I took that as 70% of the $600 initially in next bill, but like yu he is going fast and I may not be hearing everything correctly
Buffalo_Gal Posted July 21, 2020 Posted July 21, 2020 Press: ####### question about tone Trump: I've always agreed with social distancing. Maybe make it further. Press: Resurgence is for real, instead of fires. Trump: we have embers and fires. 1

FORTY states reported either single digits or zero deaths. We need a ‘national policy’ why again? Policy yes, mandate no. Sundays and Mondays are always the lowest. Monday is not a catchup day. 1

An off day for him is a good day for us. On the numbers, we will break 1000 deaths today assuming CA reports more later like they usually do. Looking at the list of top states, almost all did not get the initial rush.
