Transcripts For CNBC Mad Money 20240713

Virus could soon peak in new york city. Weve already seen the apex in madrid italy is clearly over the hump that means buy storks. Cover your shorts. The bull is backs todays run d 1627 points marking its best day in two weeks s p soaring 7. 03 . Nasdaq 7. 3 . Can it really be this easy or does this represent too much optimism i think its a bit of the latter wall street is a group of index buyers and traders when we care about the new number of coronavirus cases, number of hospitalizations and mortality rate index buying was so intense it moved stocks like they were play things now, does that mean we should buy the nasdaq when we have more ventilators, sell it if we dont have enough personal protective equipment . Do we buy the s p retail etf when we get a decent number from, i dont know, Governor Cuomo . No, its kind of ridiculous. Were simply seeing, though, the flip side of what happens when people were downbeat as they were last week when the president s team told us some pretty horrifying death projections if this thing didnt slow down. I do not like markets driven by inderkz buying or selling because neektither is sustainabe both fake people out when they see the big futures down, they get scared and they sell low and when it goes up really high, what do they do . Buy, buy, buy they buy high and then they get smoked im trying to fight that dont get me wrong, its great that were starting to flatten the curve with this pandemic i am glad the worst Case Scenario may be coming off the table. Im glad more people will live than we thought after one of those press conferences last week its a relief. I am thrilled that so many Small Businesses applied for money to get back in business, particularly with the community banks. That may have been the best untold story but none of that necessarily translates into better earnings per share for corporate america. When youre investing in the stock market, you know what, the overall level of the index wont matter if youre buying individual stocks and then if you do id be more forgiving of the attitude if it were all in a vacuum when youre a day trader you dont have to care about earnings you have to worry about what Companies Report en masse. Thats soon. If youre worried about the state of the economy, you should be, maybe you should let the market cool off after a day like today. I dont like buying on top of the index fund wave. Again, i am neutral. I dont like it when the futures send things down and i dont like it when the futures send things up. I like individual stock buying and i like thought lets go over what this day does mean when people are searching for light at the end of the tunnel you and me both. If you havent been contributing to your 401 k this year, last week would have been a good time stay the course. You have to wait for a profittaking session. Im not calling nor a short cover in a bear market that doesnt get us anywhere i believe well beat the virus because of science after a mistake like today even for 401 k money, i dont like to chase the big buying opportunity was last week. I dont think the market has bottomed yet i think individual stocks have bottomed why not buy right here 1234 i care and you care, too if you have to pay more than 6 on friday. I bet you will not feel good if you come in on top of a mini bull market start to finish because covid19 perhaps can be beaten, albeit with tens of thousands of casualties. Yet what happened if we get another leg downbased on bad economic numbers that makes you panic and all these index fund buyers become sellers . Dont put yourself in position where youll be tempted to buy high and sell low. Be patient after last week i am convinced there will be more selling what about individual sectors . Today we saw incredible strength in tech, retail, banks and industrials. Lets dissect each one cloud kings and data center plays. We hear about budgets being delayed and cutback. It may be tough to beat the numbers. Will workday thrive when there are no mergers Companies Choose their software. Ring central, did adobe deserve the rally . You need to take it case by case let them caveat the earnings with near term covid woes. And that sends them down the Data Center Hardware plays like nvidia, amd, those could have terrific quarters because there is so much demand for their products and their stocks are still inexpensive. I have liked them and i reiterate that i like them now thats great also when we get the Data Center News for alphabet, for facebook, amazon, means theres Strong Demand. But alphabet and facebook, they may have Strong Demand but too much exposure crumbling Advertising Market eyeballs unpaid. I say go request amazon. Or if you want more exposure to gaming and pc and data center you can still even up here by mofr microsoft. How about telco . Own apple, dont trade it. If you havent bought it yet, dont come in and buy it up 20 the downside could be significant. Not dont own this one if you cant take some pain for me im happy to buy apple into weakness. I slewed tim cook for getting personal protective equipment. Mark benioff got a 747 with ppe from china to hear is business the greatest source for social good . Benioff, thank you with the essential of walmarxce, costco and amazon, most wont be able to whistle baft their debt covenants if they dont get the economy moving again i need you to look at the work of oliver chen a terrific analyst put up numbers last week they can bump up here. Third quarter Earnings Conference Call go up furththeyn they can go up further, but im concerned. Now im worried about the spring will they have the big customers they usually get normally may would be gardening season for them. But maybe we dont have a gardening season this year ive had 32 years of gardening and i think this year could break the string i like to make stuff its my favorite thing i do in life, but ive got a feeling there will not be, at least for me, a garden season. And its everything. People dont like to invest in their homes during a downturn. It feels like an expenditure rather than an investment. That also makes me worried about home depot and lowes. These are great companies. I want to tell you, go buy their stocks next to banks one minute theyre buying back stock hand over fist at high levels the next minute they cant do their buy backs. That whole thing looks like they paid too much. The principal reason i like citigroup they decided to purchase 7 to 8 of their share year over year now its a dividend. You shouldnt switch reasons why you like something even though 5 is nothing to sneeze at hard for me to feel enthusiastic maybe todays rally didnt help. To me the banks have gotten risky again. After this move up, even though theyve already gone down a great deal weve been telling action alert. Com members, i dont have much appetite until we see the earnings probably the downside. I like fin tech and pay pal and visa mastercard, these are sainted stocks captain even sell them up here one derivative, the Home Builders exploded higher, 15, 20 gains. Im putting this in the are you kidding me category. Finally, there are the industrials. There are so fuel of them when wall street starts feeling more confident about the global economy, the whole gruch flies higher if you want an industrial here youre betting on a rapid return to normal city with the ee kwon am i bouncing back in record time along with the return of auto sales, construction not going to happen. Specious reasoning we dont need new buildings. Stay at home office is the heart of the Retail Industry we dont need asmany retailers nursing homes, office buildings, movie theaters i dont want to own anything of that we need less oil and gas there is not anybody on the road dont bet on a quick industrial recovery bottom line, ill become more sustainably bullish when theres more testing test, test, test, when there is less fear of getting sick, sick, sick and most importantly when the Unemployment Rate peaks which is why my Charitable Trust is putting money where it sold stock today, you know what, unemployment matters more than a potential peaking of the coronavirus transmission when we get a peak in unemployment, man, these stocks will be buys until then youre going to have to deal with the sell programs and deal with the buy programs but dont be fooled. We dont have actual stock pieg going on on days like today. Lets go to david in ohio. David caller hay, how are you doing . Im not doing badly at all, david. How about you . Caller im all right im gonna stay out of the way. Caller whats goi whats going on caller what could a novice investor learn from this market . And should i look to invest short term or long term . And also what sector should i be looking at it depends on your time horizon. Younger people should be looking at tech and biotech thats because they have their whole lives to make up with may checks what they may lose otherwise a young person now, i think you should be thinking about what tech do you really love. Is it zoom or is it amazon do you like to use alphabet or do you finds yourself thinking, you know what, im worried about Cyber Security think like that. Or do you think regeneron is going to come up with something for the antibody against the illness. But you should be thinking longer term. As you get older, you have much more to worry about. You cant risk being too crazy in the market and you have to scale back all right. The market rallied hard today, but i dont want you to get ahead of yourself. I saw a lot of index fund buying, not a lot of individual stock buying and, therefore, its a little more dangerous to come in on top of it on mad tonight, the c. E. O. Of zoom is saying he really mess tsed up as the Company Faces backlash he didnt duck the show. Which stocks could get a boost from the millions of people working at home . I have a list for you.

The most obvious winner from the covid19 lockdown zoom Video Communications it had a pretty tough week thanks to the Video Conferencing Software Many of us use zoom has become the face of the economy 200 million is huge. Rallying from 87 when we spoke to the c. E. O. Two months ago all the way to 165, the high two weeks ago. Since then zoom has come under increased scrutiny, falling to 123 as of today. Journalists, security researchers pointed out security flaws. Competitive ring central, losing key clients like new york schools. What do we do with the stock thats gone from market darling to bat many ground in a number of days . Lets check in with the founder and chairman and c. E. O. Of zoom video to get a better sense of these concerns and find out what hes doing to win back his Customers Trust welcome back to mad money. Hey, jim. I really appreciate it of course, youve been a delight. Youve always come on and youre not willing to duck in periods when i know its been difficult. You yourself have said, sir, that you cant afford to have this happen again. You cant be afford to lose Peoples Trust so what have you done to make sure that doesnt happen yes, its a good question, jim. When we built zoom, over the past few weeks we had new users. It was never expected. When were working together with i. T. Team, nobody takes a Computer Class this time a lot of firsttime users, had he heard about zoom, they started using zoom, and we make sure they use security settings and firewall. The pass word, they were probably frustrated. We needed to enforce the security safety, privacy settings for firsttime suesers. Uh have you gone back to new york schools and said, we have fixed it come back to us. Dont go to microsoft. We have the superior product and all your kids love it. So, youre right. Over the past several days there are so many schools, they are working together with us directly we have a master account to manage all the schools to make sure every Public School has security, too. Over the past two weeks, we have passwords for all the schools by the fall i think we are seeing the process. Okay. Now, we had Chuck Robbins on last week. We also had ring central on. Obviously they want your business chuck did mention that and you know cisco well, of course, that webex does have better security now, thats a heavy enterprise product. Yours wasnt an enterprise product. Now being blown out by everybody. Can you risk having this weaker security than chuck when it comes to the big enterprise customers . Prior to this crisis, we had lots of enterprise customers, right . Right speaking about security, im aware of webex im in this industry for more than 20 years. Look at cisco. Microsoft before to support you cannot have users dial in. You cannot support a recording from a security perspective, i really dont see any big difference i do not think they are better unfortunately we become so popular. I have to disagree with you, eric cisco does not traffic through china. A lot of companies and a lot of individuals do not want our traffic im not talking about zoom cocktail. We dont want our traffic through china. Is there a box we can check that says, listen, chinese servers will not have our information . Because that cisco doesnt do. That is a big difference you are right so i want to share take a step back to share with you. By the way, on wednesday i have a weekly zoom webinar. So, because we have a global distributing center. You and i have a meeting here. It will never go to china at all. However, in extremely rare cases, you and i probably go to the data center the infrastructure, part of test in china. Our data center come back. Again, thats our data center. Do you have the global distributor media architecture, we can do that this time was missed steps missed steps, fair enough now, this zoom bombing, i like the fact zoom is a household term we do all use it i was hesitant to be as critical as others because i am on this product five times a day and i never even used it until jensen wong told me at it when we were at nvidia. I also know there has been this zoom bombing it has not happened to me in any of my groups can we stop the zoom bombing can we out this people can you make it so they dont wreck terrible, terrible insults and miserable things you and i both would never, never want to have happen to us. Jim, youre right ive been using zoom for almost nine years for meetings. I never saw that when youre working with firsttime users, we enforce security safety. You need a pass word with zoom dont share your meeting with others in the meeting, lock the meeting. We have a lot of features built in, right. You can go further step in further security safety. Learn a little more about our best practice. I think it should be okay. And you think the people will convert from free to paid when its time . Thats another focus because we really want to go back to okay. This is totally name of the game one last question do you need a belt and suspenders situation should you bring in somebody like a crowd strike, some sort of Cyber Security that everybody says, well, its not just eric hes really got this thing buttoned down. You are right on. Tomorrow, you see the zoom, a lot of our customers even though they check the security information officer, they all want to help us. They work with us for many years. They trust us. I totally agree look, i know you can fix this. You have made a dmimt to fix it and i know you you will fix it. I want to thank you for coming on you could have ducked. You could have said, listen, jim, im not coming on you came right on. I want to thank eric, founder and c. E. O. Of zoom eric did not have to come on i sent him an email. I said, why not come on . Boom, he comes right on. Mad money is back after the break. Thank you, eric. Life isnt a straight line. And sometimes, you can find yourself heading in a new direction. But when youre with fidelity, a partner who makes sure every step is clear, theres nothing to stop you from moving forward. A partner who makes sure every step is clear, our Retirement Plan with voya gives us confidence. Yeah, they help us with achievable steps along the way. So we can spend a bit now, knowing were prepared for the future. Surprise we renovated the guest room, so you can live with us. Oooh, well. Im good at my condo. Oh. I love her condo. Nana throws the best parties. Well planned, well invested, well protected. Voya. Be confident to and through retirement. You got to look at this period of mandatory social distancing as a learning opportunity. We keep hearing about new behavior what people do when theyre working from home all day. As the state by state lockdown gained steam nationwide despite the big rally, how are people handling it . First we know about zoom zoom has taken america by storm. To the point they cant handleal the traffic without compromised security i dont know if they can handle the security by themselves ciscos webex platform does the same thing, but it has much tighter security which is why a lot of businesses prefer it over soon zoom we spoke to vlad on friday its already embedded into a vias phone systems. Zoom has them beat picture quality. But the stock is run up dramatically i dont know how successful it will be taking market share because zoom has become a verb in our whole country how about the Cloud Infrastructure plays that make all this stuff possible, Amazon Web Services has always been a leader in this services. Its leading again now we need a tremendous amount of capacity to cover all the people who are working remotely. Thats what Amazon Web Services specialize in. I like aws built for this moment i think the stock to goes to an alltime high. The most straightforward part of the quantity is food people want to stock up the pantry im no different, by the way store up snacks. I was looking for potato chips we have all these things loo look like potato chips, but theyre pita chips theyre awful. One persons opinion the Food Companies arent taking anything for granted here. They dont want to rely on a temporary surge in demand because they know the lockdown wont last forever i think this is more sustainable than they think. Even when the lockdown ends people will be afraid to go out to restaurants which translates to more sales for the food and Beverage Companies the winners, believe it or not, its one that we had on friday that was up nice and today should be up more. Constellation brands they are killing it. The maker of corona, modelo fine wines, liquors, hard brands has seen a gigantic pick up in demand this was obliterated february and march because the stran restaurants and bars are closed from the lockdown. 80 to 95 of the beer is consumed at home when it comes to home consumption, constellations brews are really the only growth offering i am so impressed by how these brands are doing especially the premium version. Modelo especially they havent rolled it out. They have a heavy debt load because they paid a lot a lot to buy this Canopy Growth there were two tranches. First one was a good price second one was way too high. It was still flying high if we legalize weed in this country, i expect canopy is going to dominate. Constellation is getting 850 million from gallo sell off of the nonpremium spirits business everything they do is premium. I love that because that means you can charge more and it also better the new lineup of corona seltzers is a big hit. Some people think theyre late to the party i love one on a sunny day out in the summer if we ever get those in any more. At the end of the day quarantine doesnt make people stop drinking they buy their beer at the super market rather than a bar it makes it a terrific recession stock. Now that youve seen the quarter, you can buy it. Who else wins . Conagra did impress me when we had them on with their results theyre seeing tremendous strength in snack and dinner they stock all the chef boyardee thats a sign people stuck at home on convenience. Frozen food is a bargain theyre going after the brands of their parents we always had birds eye and green giant. Birds eye is conagra. Im guessing wall street doesnt believe the pick up is sustainable and the stock would be higher. Conagra is not speaker next. It has spotty execution. But this is the time to shine. Conagra is the middle of the store. Maybe people never left it you know what else i like . I like snacks. When it comes to snacking, pepsi co. Is king. Thanks to its frito lay and quaker brands. We havent seen the lockdown numbers because pep reports early. I bet they make a killing. This is it this is what my wife wont buy why . I mean, its got 160 calories. I look okay. Right . I mean, these are fabulous what about General Mills i have to tell you, i was disappointed they spent so much time someone let me orchestrate their conference calls, please about the loss of haagen dasz foods in china. Pet food made me want to buy chewy, not General Mills i expected more from them. I think their business is in better shape than they do. The people running the company have a bad sense of show manship. You know when you have instead of Mickey Rooney and judy garland. Not only the spam, but multiple plaf flavors, i did not care for the pumpkin base other brands, skippy they have major appeal i got this much of justins in the pantry this much of skippy. My mom served me skip. Plus its great to know hormel had the 53rd dividend boost. Not in the package food space. How about lees hasnt come in at all maybe thats a sign snacks are on fire. The company also has gum has been declining i like it. Maybe lower. You dont want the possibility of number cuts when picking a recessionproof stock. You know who is a winner Mark Schneider at nestle they have candy, pet food, hot drinks scores high here a remarkable company i wish it was listed in the united states. I would recommend it it hasnt happened how about the restaurants . Dominos pizzas works because they spent years building out delivery infrastructure. Theyre a pioneer in contactless hand offs. I bet dominos comes out better than other places. Its sad, same thing with the retailers. We need that Small Business bailout money and we need it fast or else dominos wins by default. I believe in the bailout its not really a bailout. I believe that helping Small Businesses, okay same goes for chipotle another chain that laid the groundwork for this moment by bulking up their take out and delivery capabilities, i think the stock their Balance Sheet is so perfect. When you look at the claps of the restaurants, especially the ones driefowning in private equy debt, they will survive this period other than retail, restaurants are the most damaged by the stayathome ee dikts. Eventually it will rof, but Companies Might not make it. The ones that are down arent the bargains you may think stay at home economy may be temporary, working remotely has so many advantages we might be witnessing a permanent shift in that direction thats why i like all these stayathome stocks for the long haul if you bought them up here, it may turnout to be theyre not up here, theyre down here, going up here. Brian in maryland, brian caller hey, jim. Thanks so much for taking my call absolutely. Caller booyah from the state of maryland. We love the state of maryland, we love it go ahead caller thanks so much. Longtime watcher. Thanks for your Public Service and keeping everybody level headed well, thank you and i like that under armour is doing some special masks theyre a baltimore company. Its good that people step up. I have to get a special mask i got the more traditional one, you know okay caller jim, heres my question i have a position in tyson foods. The reason i like my position is they have a strong Balance Sheet, they have a lot of cash on hand. They could weather potential recession if we got there. They have decent margins the other day they announced a 60 million bonus to all their front line employees Truck Drivers came out and said their demand is increased due to the pandemic and the consequence of food hoarding but it really didnt. See, brian, thats the problem i always talk about winners, Charitable Trust has good ones we did badly in tyson. We bought the stock for actionalerts. Com we told club members, heres the deal now that we solved the two countries are getting along, china and the united states, theyre going to buy our Prince Georges County theyre going to buy our pork, its going to be tyson the stock was cutback. Its been very poor at communicating which is one of the reasons its a huge loss and drives me crazy. I wouldnt be surprised if the behavior that makes these popular becomes a thing. Staying at home has advantages you have the one thats the best im trying to find bargains. The reit space, which ones are good, which ones i dont want. Ill reveal the names. Is it time to use creativity when it comes to fighting covid19 ill take your calls, rapid fire, lightning round. Stay with cramer we cannot do all the good that the world needs. But right now, the world needs all the good that we can do. To everyone working to keep america strong, thank you. Today was a real good day. You know, were still staring into the abyss of bad headlines that are going to be coming up the next couple weeks. I want to get prepared to do bargain hunting the next time we get slammed. Were doing new groups there are some sectors where we are still getting real bargains. You know what, even after today. But you have to be very selective and they take a lot of work we did it this weekend, last week, ill present it. The Real Estate Investment trusts which are so hated. Most reits are still untouchable here as i said at the top of the show, office reits, hotel reits, theyre in trouble with the economy on hiatus with the economy on lockdown. Hedge funds were borrowing money to buy reits they were doing this with action Alert Limited partnership. After the past six weeks they had to unwind that leverage which is one of the reasons reits are down so much when that happens, the whole group ends up getting hit. Some Real Estate Investment trusts to work here. Especially the specialist reits that are not connected with retail and not connected with nursing homes. See what im talking about here is and these are small so you have to understand what were talking about. Alex andrew Real Estate Equities weve had them on a couple times. Crown Castle International a Cell Tower Company Data Center Reits like core site, Digital Realty trust and equinex. None of these has particularly high yields, but they are all in a powerful secular growth theme. This should be immune to potential recession and i think that we are going to have a recession. So lets start with alexander Real Estate Equities its an office space reits that especially eyeses in owning science and technology which is a cluster. Theyre a landlord for Biotech Companies working on vaccines for treatment in the pandemic. Office reits are going to be hurt particularly with the stay at Home Movement but its unusual this is about pharma and biotech that thrives during economic downturns. That hasnt saved the stock the past month its down 22 from its highs pulled back down by the group, okay its better than the average stock but definitely not good. Thanks to the dramatic decline, alexander real estate is down. It reported a Strong Quarter in early february and tenants arent the kind of businesses that will go out of business during a recession the pandemic should trigger major Government Investment in Scientific Infrastructure so that were better prepared the next time Something Like this happens. More investment in Scientific Infrastructure, we give a company like alexandria Real Estate Equities a boost, its a small name im looking for bargains after today. Next up, a cell tower reit these are three big ones, i like them all based on the 5g wireless build out theyre uniquely focused on small cell towers that facilitate basically known as the last mile of wireless service. These small cells are essential to the 5g roll out remember big secular themes is what im focused on. I like hsbc. They have no emerging market exposure crown castle is alltel domestic. Dont get me wrong, all reit towers work. They have ironclad financing i like crown castle the most that said, even before the coronavirus outbreak there were signs the 5g build out might be pushed back a bit and Global Pandemic will delay things further. Many conferences with deals get made were canceled so the narrative is damaged sooner or later the build out will happen. One problem with crown castle, it has 2 3 yield stock is currently at the 138 range. Maybe pulls back to the 130s, 2 blow off at the end of the day even after the run, i still like tmobile i think its terrific. My Charitable Trust owns verizon which is my favorite for income, okay follow along at actionalerts. Com these are companies that own vast warehouses of servers that power the cloud. These stocks will pull back, but nothing about the outbreak hurts the cloud narrative. There will be more data enis terz to support people working from home. Like zoom video. As i see it the data center is the best secular growth theme of our era. I wont try to pick one data enis ter reit in particular. I think they all work. You can do a lot worse in any of these names. A couple Data Center Reits set themselves apart with connection capabilities they offer highspeed connections to the best Public Cloud Companies like Amazon Web Services or microsoft azure. They set themselves apart on this particular front. If you put a gun to my head and told me to pick a data enis ter re data center reit, first id tell you to put the gun down. Even after this brutal market decline, you have to pay up for quality. Thats a continual theme, by the way. Stocks have gone down. Look at walmart, barely down core site is the other leader in the connection it has all the tools to be a great data center reit, it has been an inconsistent operator. The Company Reported a disappointing quarter. It had the highest yield, 4. 2 higher risk, it gives you some protection as for the others, digitally somewhere between equinex and core site, the fourth best performing stock of the s p 500 during the First Quarter i think it works there is a fourth Big Data Center reit. We had them on a bunch of times. That is about take over speculation, i dont think its worth the risk if youre looking for relatively safe stocks that can work in this environment, even after todays run, check out the specialized Real Estate Investment trust not the mall reits, not entertainment. Crown Castle International thats 5g play data center plays. We had micron on last week how hot is data center the next time the whole market gets slaughtered, these are it in the meantime, i dont even mind if you start buying them right now. The specialist reits and the ones that can survive, and even thrive in this hideous downturn. Mad money is back after the break. When you look at the Critical Issues facing our world, what do you see . We see breakthrough medicines getting to patients in record time. We see harnessing natural gas unleashing the promise of clean energy. We see engineers simulating the future to improve today. At emerson, when issues become inspiration, focusing core strengths to create a better world isnt just a result, its a responsibility. Emerson. Consider it solved. It is time its time for the lightning round. Buy, buy, buy sell, sell, sell. And then the lightning round is over. But not until we first introduce you to the newest addition to cramerica. This is olive spencer hugh sane. Congratulations to our rock star producer katie and her husband greg we cant wait to meet the latest member of the mad money family some good news for once.

You dont want to do either of those youre making life too hard for yourself you should be thinking about a high quality drug or food stock or maybe a Technology Company with a good yield and its got good Growth Prospects much better and that thank you. That, ladies and gentlemen, is the conclusion of the lightning round. [ buzzer ] announcer the lightning round is sponsored by t. D. Ameritrade aand were here for you ry day fespecially now,rs. Doing Everything Possible to keep you connected. Through the resilience of our network and people. We can keep learning, keep sharing, keep watching, and most of all, keep together. Its the job weve always done. It is the job we will always do. I wish washington would be more open minded about ways to fight copvid19 millions of americans want to help beat this thing, but they feel theres nothing they can do aside from staying home. They feel helpless weve seen this before in the battle against polio back then a nonprofit, the march of dimes, asked americans to donate money to pay for research millions of people mailed in dimes and that money funded the miraculous work of a polio vaccine. It wouldnt have happened without the march of dimes we need to do the same thing by making it easy for people to contribute thats why im adamant about selling a trillion 30year safe and sound bond perhaps with a 2 yield. The money will be used to make our people safe thats 500 billion and our economy sound, another 500 billion. We raise that half a trillion to build coronavirus testing sites all over america, testing, testing. Everyone needs to be tested just like everyone had to take the polio vaccine. Meanwhile, we also need factories to make protective masks and gowns because you cant rely on the Global Supply chain to get us necessities at a time of crisis we have to bring those industries back home the white house should also use osha remember osha . To mandate that everyone wear a mask when theyre at work. We now know masks help them i m immensely in asia. We have a labor day agency if you go to the website you wouldnt know they care. They have a page or two. Its nothing like it should have osha should be insisting temperature taken at regular intervals like they do in china. My writing partner reminds me of that demand testing at every workplace where there is an outbreak osha, get involved how about making economy sound the best thing anyone can do to fight this virus is to stay home but a lot of people cant afford to skip work so we need a nationwide policy where we pay people to stay home believe me its cheaper than if we keep bleeding things out. Thats the 500 billion we need to work out this side of the equation paying people to do nothing they did it it seems counter intuitive. But we know that europe does it. Its easy for people to stay home when the governments covering the cost of their wages even when theyre not working. Just throw money at people then if they go out without a good reason, the police will hit you with an expensive fine that way we automatically bend the curve. We need a month of aggressive lockdown while we buildup our testing infrastructure oh, and we should also test for covid19 antibodies so we know who is immune. Meaning they can go back to work immediately, all right thats what we need. We need shoppers and workers we cant just make everybody stay at home who has the antibodies i know that paying people at home will be expensive but an aggressive lockdown now will save a lot of money later dont forget the bond market is desperate to give the u. S. Money. The moratorium on rent and mortgage payments. Make it retroactive to march to put it at the end. A 20year, put that last month there. Rent, 13th month health care, if you dont have insurance, uncle sam has you covered for the duration in normal times we allow the free market to handle the stuff, but the free market cant work its magic when the economy is in hydrogen bomber nation and government is closing businesses whats the alternative to a moratorium here . A more aggressive fashion. This virus has killed more than 10,000 americans why not take half the 125,000 men and i am wiwomen with medicl knowledge in the defense and army and have them help out in hot spots. They cant be worse than afghanistan. Iment i am tired of hearing how the chinese economy built hospitals out of field cloth we should be able to dot same thing. Ask Doctors Without Borders for expertise if were having trouble. Cash units, the army can do it better than anyone we spent decades sending our military all over the globe. Why not have them protect americans for once might be a nice change of pace lets kick these ideas around. Sure, the market was on fire today.
