I assume the healthcare system in this nation is just going to fold like a wet paper cup over this whole thing.

This may be on purpose. If the cdc test many Americans, it will discover many many cases of “community transmission” meaning these have no known contact with infection countries and folks from those places. The virologists from Taiwan (hardly china’s friends), japan (American ally) and Russia are confirming that the US has has 5 different generations of the virus while China has only two of the newest of the five generations......so what does that mean? It means the US has the older versions of the virus and hence the US is a place of origin for this virus. China is only the first major outbreak place. The US may very well have been dealing with the outbreak of the corona virus and not knowing it and assuming it was just a severe seasonal flu.....and passing the virus to other countries. If this is confirmed, China should hand the US a bill for the cost of fighting and containing the virus that it cause. The Chinese are absolutely not going to take the blame for this virus like the Spanish did for the Spanish flu 0f 1918, which originated in the US but got the Spanish name because they were the first to record and tried to contain it, while the US ignored it and England and France were too busy trying to end WWI.

https://www.statnews.com/2018/09/26/...deaths-winter/

Now ZERO deaths to date in US from coronavirus and the MSM and democrats are hysterical, and fomenting hourly fear and panic amongst the population and in the money markets. What could possibly be the reason for this?

Deaths are mostly in countries/areas with limited or poor healthcare… big surprise. But let’s pretend it’s the same everywhere. Leftists are desperate to promote some sort of Armageddon to blame on President Trump.


I repeat .... ZERO Deaths in the United States.

Great example of why government should not be in charge of healthcare.

Is that all the constructive discussion you have to add? You're basically saying that this article isn't true, but I've read the same information from other sources. Either Dr. Fauci is permitted to speak or he's not. Right?

But as it would be outrageous and antisemitic, unfortunately, it would also be predictable.
Leftists have become very predictable.... when the New York Times prints garbage like “ Can we now call this the Trump Virus?” And the Leftist Media & Politicians are attempting to weaponize this is some way ... we pretty much know what to expect from them.
