As disappointed as I am (very) that Biden is the presumptive nominee, watching Trump and Biden speak back-to-back makes it easy for me to forgive Biden's faults. Biden is solid in that clip, and even at his worst I can still parse wtf he's trying to say. Trump's word salad earlier today was wholly incomprehensible.

So Trump basically brought in all the CEOS who own america to say that everything is fine, spout off how these people are gonna profit from the testing, says he'll cancel student loan debt which will get the progressives and youth on his side and that's all it takes to make the DOW start climbing again? Even through the last time he did this his speech was so disjointed various WH reps had to clarify and pull shit out of their ass to try and make sense of it on twitter.

It's absurd that people trust anything coming out of this administration's mouth to such a level especially when the people telling them have personal interests in the virus getting out of control
Pretty much. This was a press conference for the shareholders, not the people.

The unproven, somewhat shaky theory about bats is that their immune systems are similar to ours in a way that makes them effective incubators for viruses which can effect us... but those viruses still need the right environmental conditions to jump from bats to some other animal, to humans.

The under-reactors (who are trying to muzzle the CDC and pretend this is a hoax) are a much bigger problem than the over-reactors (who are creating a toilet paper shortage). Whether this coronavirus ends up being super deadly or not, our species utterly failed the test and it should be a huge wake-up call.

Yay?
That's not a given, but it's possible. This is being floated as a concern because it's exactly what happened with the Spanish Flu of 1918.

JFC.
Some of the most memorable scenes in the MCU involve characters with no powers... Nick Fury trying to escape from Hydra in Winter Soldier, for example. Black Widow and Hawkeye / Ronin are both interesting characters, imo, and with a little tech / gadgetry, they're no less "super" than Batman. I don't get the complaint about superhero powers at all.
