All this talk of testing at the briefing. Apparently they are unaware that we the people have realized that questions about social distancing - leadership about social distancing - is now the big thing on everyone's mind. We've given up on seeing testing in time now. Illinois just shut down, for heaven's sake. The public no longer believes a damn thing these boot licking clowns other than Fauci say.
Pence "commended" us in Colorado, and the several other states who have set up testing center.

Yea, we are so screwed....just as we were with every other corona virus in the last 50+ years.....
My post about the quality of Chinese building seems to have disappeared. However, I agree, building this temporary hospital is an indication they weren't prepared either.

Well, I think some are giving China a pass for COVID-19, even though they have had SARS and other new and novel viruses start in their country before.
When, NOT IF, the next coronavirus emerges from China, they better build a wall around that starting point IMMEDIATELY, no delaying like with COVID-19!
The issue is the poor storage and consumption of wild animals. Most zoonotic diseases spring from animal to human contact.
If you want to read a very interesting book David Quamen Spillover is the book
I don't really see how we are going to control anything. Assuming we flatten the curve still most people on this planet will need to get this. Because it isn't going away and will likely just flair up and go away. The only hope people have is to get it and build up immunity. Or hide in their house for the rest of their days.
If we had any chance of stopping it from entering the USA I could see the push but now... that is over and besides flattening the curve we face no choice but to get it at some point.
The only thing they are trying to control is how many catch it at the same time so the hospital system isn't overloaded.
I'm combating those on the left that are ok with this shutdown of the country, all for a virus that has killed less than the 100 people a day in the US that die of car accidents.
So who pays the mortgages owed on homes being rented tgat renters arent paying rent on? Or is it ok to screw the owner? And when they get foreclosed on, what then?
That's what I'm trying to understand. 80,000 people in the US died of the flu in 2018, but nobody was in a panic. Why is that?
Well, really, folks should take the flu more seriously. But you're comparing a nine inning baseball game (flu deaths in 2018) to a game in the bottom of the first (Covid 19 deaths so far)
Also, do you think ALL of the governments of the world are all over reacting?

Here's the thing, SeaMaj7..... what happens next year when COVAD-20 comes out ??
The sheeple will be pre-programmed to go along with M&DG (Mommy & Daddy Government) once again.
This is extremely dangerous.
Crying wolf about climate change is losing traction, so now off to viral panic over a virus.
Sadly yes and I suspect we'll be seeing more stories like that.
Firefighters in SC are in quarantine because of the 2 new cases this morning in Myrtle Beach.
I guess they didn't tell the EMC's they might have the virus.

Hobgoblins and all; OMG, there's always a crisis!
Same as it ever was.
We are all hoping you're right when we already know you're wrong....
