    He didn't fail to find new people to loan him money after he went bankrupt. And he didn't fail when he lied under oath. He has a Houdini-like talent for squirming out of tight spots.

    I know all lucky streaks eventually end, but I expect he will find a way to escape this jam, too.

    He's going to make a lot of people think he actually didn't want to start a panic, when it's clear that he couldn't care less about starting panics, except that he probably enjoys it. He'd start a panic tomorrow if he thought it would help him get elected.

    The motive for understating the risk was the stock market (see blowup at Dr. Messonnier's warnings), which itself is a derivative of his self-interest in re-election.

    It is worth recalling that on February 25 Dr. Messonnier warned that: "Disruption to everyday life might be severe."

    She was silenced after that. Basically for telling the truth.

    If you tell the truth, people will be scared but also adjust their behavior and save some lives.

    If you don't, it is better for the stock market.

    Seems like an easy call.

    In light of everything that has been disclosed in the past week, dont let it get lost that Steve Bannon was arrested for bilking Trump Wall supporters.

    Yes, when he says "panic", he's talking about a stock market panic, which was not what he was implying to Woodward.
