There was a meeting in congress or some high government place between doctors and representatives and they were discussing the crisis. The doctors stated that we are vastly underprepared for something like this and we need to be prepared.

Some idiot asked the question. "Where are we going to get the money for this?" The doctors proceeded to tear the guy to pieces by pointing out the trillions of dollars wasted on the wars in the last 20 years.

Russia is doing the right thing, close borders with China and Europe.
Ukraine needs to do it too. Their health care system is going through changes and that means they're vulnerable.

I came across this video on the Internet today. I understand that the Apocalypse is coming , but I not understand how can toilet paper save you from it?
Personally, I would have purchased canned meat, pasta, salt and matches.
And I can wipe my ass with a newspaper as a last resort.

Because it’s a snowball effect. Toilet paper is very bulky and easy to notice, it probably started with one person stocking up, and then other people thinking I should probably do that too (forgetting about all the other items). All in all pretty crazy. Americans (including myself) should probably abandon the unsanitary practice all together and adopt the bidet, unfortunately American soldiers during WWII associated it with brothels when they were stationed in France, so the bidet never caught on in the US.

I think that the CDC is able to control the epidemic and produce required number of tests. Could US authorities try to hide the epidemic so stock market not crash?

In any case, stock market crashing.

Russia is doing a good job when it comes to CV, given the proximity of China on one hand and Europe on the another.

( All new cases of CV are tied to the new arrivals from Europe.)

Mishustin was a good pick ( Who is he? Prime-minister now?)
Clear, concise, well-spoken and all business.

But Russians usually operate the best when in emergency mode, as the history shows.

Приближается к Каиру судно
С длинными знаменами Пророка.
По матросам угадать нетрудно,
Что они с востока.

Капитан кричит и суетится,
Слышен голос гортанный и резкий,
Меж снастей видны смуглые лица,
И мелькают красные фески.

На пристани толпятся дети,
Забавны их тонкие тельца,
Они сошлись еще на рассвете
Посмотреть, где станут пришельцы.

Аисты сидят на крыше
И вытягивают шеи.
Они всех выше,
И им виднее.

Аисты — воздушные маги,
Им многое тайное понятно:
Почему у одного бродяги
На щеках багровые пятна.

Аисты кричат над домами,
Но никто не слышит их рассказа,
Что вместе с духами и шелками
Пробирается в город зараза.
(с)Nikolay Gumilev, 1907
