From the article you posted:

But what about the morality of hoarding products that can prevent the spread of the virus, just to turn a profit?

Mr. Colvin said he was simply fixing “inefficiencies in the marketplace.” Some areas of the country need these products more than others, and he’s helping send the supply toward the demand.

“There’s a crushing overwhelming demand in certain cities right now,” he said. “The Dollar General in the middle of nowhere outside of Lexington, Ky., doesn’t have that.”

I say about four of us ought to load up in a pickup truck, get a case of Bud, and let’s drive over there to Chattanooger and whoop this man’s ass and pull his codds. (blue font)
 
All I can say is if President Trump is doing a poor job I don't think we can count on Mr. Biden to do better.

Propaganda masquerading as news.

A wall will not stop it. A travel ban will not stop it. It is already here. It does not matter if the virus originated in Wuhan or Montgomery.

The travel bans may have and perhaps will continue to be part of a comprehensive strategy to stop this pandemic. We have effectively created limited travel bans and limits on mass gatherings here domestically. Combined together every little bit helps as long as we make those decisions based on the science and not on xenophobia.

One more thing:

The horse is already out of the barn. There is no use in pretending you can close the barn door and he will magically go back in there. (the proverbial horse is the virus in case anyone is wondering)

There is a ton of disinformation and misinformation out there, some spread by well meaning folks who don't know any better. To address some of those please read the articles here and stop spreading information that is wrong and may result in people having a false sense of confidence and resulting in more people infected.

I don't understand the logic that if the virus is here it's OK to add more fuel to the fire. Mr. Biden was also against the China travel ban BEFORE the virus came here. I also don't understand how news stories of faulty policy by Republicans is always legit while news stories of faulty Democrats is always propaganda.

"The travel bans may have and perhaps will continue to be part of a comprehensive strategy to stop this pandemic. "

Did you miss that?

If Biden really was against the travel restrictions way back when then he turned out to be wrong, but that is not the quote in the article and the quote in the article is absolutely true - you can't stop something from coming here if it's already here and you can't stop it from spreading here if it's already spreading here and your response is to stop it from coming here - It's already here!

Now to stop further spread a foreign travel ban as part of a broader set of actions can help. How many times and different ways do I have to say that?

Forget about the Republicans and Democrats and focus on the science of the spread of the disease. Biden will listen to his medical advisors and scientists who were trying to get us prepared for the pandemic that we KNEW was coming weeks ago. Getting people tested as early as possible is critical. Trump was so concerned about the “numbers” and how it would affect his electability that he DID NOT WANT PEOPLE TESTED BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE REVEALED THERE ARE MORE PEOPLE WHO ALREADY HAVE THE CV. He thought he knew more than his own experts.

I have never voted for a Democrat in my entire life and I cast my first vote for Dick Nixon. Trump has completely mishandled this crisis by lying to the public and ignoring the truth. There is absolutely no evidence Joe Biden would have done this. Trump is not a man of character. Joe Biden is. Disagree with Biden on policy as I do but please don’t fail to recognize that our president’s mismanagement of this national emergency will possibly cost thousands of American lives.

He's in a presser with a USA hat on. He remembered his flag lapel so we're good. He's talking about removing the chair of the fed, which will send stocks plummeting to levels not thought possible a few days ago.
Fed not lowering the rates fast enough for his rich buddies? Releasing $1.5 trillion dollars and dropping it half point wasn't enough?

Joe will also make mistakes just like I will. I do believe Joe is not delusional like Trump. I'm trying to decide is Trump is delusional and stupid or just plain evil. I choose to believe the former for the most part though I do believe his selfish ego has inflicted as much harm as his stupidity and arrogance.
