Re:U.S. Jobless Rate May Soar to 30%, Fed’s Bullard Says by nkurz on Monday March 23, 2020 @12:54AM (#22661365)
Yes, a unedited quote would be useful. But I did find one corroboration that I think elevates this above "fake news" status. On the St Louis Fed's website, there's a list of James Bullard's media interviews. At the top is this article with the "30%" figure in the title: https://www.stlouisfed.org/from-the-president/media-intervie.... While it's possible that was just an intern who scans the news and adds things, this certainly makes it seem like Bullard officially endorses the 30% number.

It's a link to the same Bloomberg article. :-) It doesn't make it any less fake.
