Trump really needs to stop downplaying this pandemic. (Hopefully the above was reported out of context)

I would agree if I thought anyone actually listened to him on medical topics.

We had an all-hands meeting yesterday, well over 1,000 people.  Two key questions were addressed: 

#1 "Will there be layoffs?" (Paraphrased: "Yes, up to 25% of the company.  Also the remainder will take pay cuts.  Also all budgets will be cut by 20%.  And let's remember this is round 1")

#2 "Will we follow Trump's return-to-work order?"  (Long pause followed by sotto voce derisory laughter followed by "We take direction from the CDC and from the state and local authorities where our offices reside.  Whichever is later.")
