NK was the first country to firmly close its borders with China, and it’s one of the safe heavens from this pandemic. Russia was briefed by Kim to stay alert therefore the country survived this outbreak well...otherwise it would have been disastrous for that dwindling regime.

Regardless who started it, if it was indeed a Biowar, Trump and his allies are the biggest losers who were totally naive, idiotic, arrogant, defiant, and compromised in their initial “hunches” of/wokeness to the severity of this outbreak despite been watching what was unfolding in China and being informed by his intelligence team to take appropriate/timely actions to prepare and prevent...

https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/20/polit...rus/index.html


Most NYers were fooled by the “negative” Reports when NYC tested numerous cases on/off in Jan/Feb, which all confirmed to be negative...did anyone ever question how many of those cases may have been bigly misdiagnosed by the faulty/sloppy CDC testing kits, therefore those infected #0 patients got released to spread the virus on crowded MTA vehicles? The city should be required to retest that initial cohort of suspects to help educate the naive fear-mongering-theory-believing masses that the pandemic threat was already in nYC and real, not any hoax or fear mongers.

If China/Russia/NK were the initiators of this biowar, then Trump and CDC were the US insiders who facilitated the success of the war on America. I watched the CDC director’s responses to the situation prior to the confirmed outbreak, and was so wondering how on earth trump kept an incompetent and tardy loser in such an important position in charge of Americans health and well-being?? It reflects that mr orange man was good and strong in business and political gaming but totally underestimated the importance of scientific foundation in sustaining society stability.

Not to deny that he did a great job in clearing a lot of plagues that sickened the US sociopolitical system, improving the internal/external conditions for a booming US economy, and restructuring a new foreign policy framework that repositioned the US as the world leader in resorting world’s peace and order. He was about to have the entire world as his stage, but then he made a fool of himself in broad daylight on that stage by making those foolish comments on a critical public health situation based on his uneducated gut feelings and hunches. It is sad for him, but it’s the people, ya’ll included, are suffering/dying.

The response has been a disaster. I think that's clear to everyone. It doesn't have to imply a political statement.
The who knew what and when can be sorted out later. At this point they are all culpable/complicit in my mind.

Poor nyc parents can get $15 a month internet or free through some providers.

Pandemics and diseases do not require premeditated government action whatsoever unless you believe medical science and history are essentially bunk.

The most likely explanations for Russia’s numbers are pretty reasonable—it’s somewhere between underreporting (like Wuhan/Hubei officials did initially) and insufficient testing (like us as of the time of this writing still).

Look at the virus world map. It is all over the world but higher in western countries that are economically strong and globally linked like Western Europe, U.S., Canada, Australia, Brazil, etc.

On the flip side, notice less spread in poorer countries that have less global connectivity like Belize or Burma.

It’s the price you pay for being economically strong and global. Same with NYC. What made this city the wealthiest and globally connected is also what makes it the current epicenter of the outbreak.

No one was going to be able to prevent this from coming into this country, not even Jesus himself. And once in, with how much movement goes on in this country, it was going to easily spread.

Entire world suffers USA, Japan, South Korea, Germany, Italy, France, UK, Canada, Australia those some powerful economic powers China need those countries also. The poorer countries will take hit because of tourism no one staying at hotels, eating at restaurants, going to beaches, doing tours.
