So China takes revenge on the U.S. by wrecking their own economy?

Revenge for what? China is eating our lunch. China's economy is growing 3 times as fast as our economy. We are less dependent on the world economy as China is.

It would make no sense for China to collapse the global economy.

Suicide missions are quite prevalent in some cultures, as long as a small group in power benefits.

Anyway, just a theory. Who knows?

China isn't one of those.

This post I quoted is not even two weeks old. My how quickly things have accelerated.

560 coronavirus cases confirmed so far across the United States. 22 deaths. over two/thirds of the states in America have confirmed cases. Thousands of people still waiting for test kits or waiting on test results.

Ok, I have a question. I am basically (it feels) surrounded by this virus here in Westchester County NY... actually its in my exact town and the cities/towns around me. From word of mouth, I am hearing that MOST of the 82 confirmed cases are very very mild with a low fever and cough.. why are these people not at least being phone interviewed to relay this to the public to calm fears? Instead, we are bombarded with pictures of the person in bubble being lifted into an ambulance??

Remember Kim Jong Un's statement early last December that he was going to send a Christmas gift to the US?

The number of cases in the United States is growing, however 99% of coronavirus cases are still outside the United States.

I’m not sure why there has not been a ban on most if not all international travel to and from the United States at this point. This is a foreign disease, and we should not wait any longer. A one month ban on all international travel at least.
