Here comes the guy (me) who has to keep watching this fucking thing as part of my job, more so then my actual job in the Army! I know so much fucning shit about this thing.
So please take my words to heart.
Infection nearly everywhere.
It's history repeating itself. Globalisation and the love of money helped a lot.
Like Philadelphia with the Spanish Flu this is repeating the same.
Some 12,000 people died after the city held infamous Liberty Loan parade

Madagascar is all that is left!
To be fair, a lot of people were (and still are, sadly) insisting the Corona virus wasn't something to worry about, regardless of political affiliation. Trump, in my mind, has reacted about as well as one could have expected of anyone in his position.
The oversized PM that was acting as a miniature secret forum for the Right-leaning. I can call it an incident or event but the name doesn't really matter at this point only that it happened.
I said possible. As in there is a possible chance they (whoever they are) have a legitimate grievance. I do not immediately condemn another user and I want to hear them out before passing judgement. That is what I was meaning to say.
I am speaking as an outsider. I came here and honestly didn't see many identifiable Leftwing users on this site.
I am not sure where you are finding that. When it started what I saw on the news was worries of an outbreak, how china was messing up the early response, and when it spread people panicking in and out of china and many chinese and other asians were being treated as plaguebearers.

To me he didn't. He brushed it off when he should have been alert and ready to act instead of the haphazard taskforce just cobbled together.
I'm not saying he's done a good job of it; but quite frankly, epidemics (let alone pandemics) are notorious in catching governments unprepared. And thus far, none of the world's leaders have proven themselves to be capable of handling this one. I'd argue there's not as much shame in being incompetent, when everyone else is too.
It is highly infective. It is a bad fly. That is all it is! Yes it can kill those that are older and have health issues. So can the fucking common cold! Like god damn! Hell more people die from drugs everyday then the amount killed in the states and iirc what my battle buddy said, then what has died outside of china...
And South Korea is reacting the best, and has gotten the furthest with testing and the like!
And the REASON America isnt doing so well compared to a place like ROK. The size and how spread out the country is.
Meh, him underplaying It served a very important purpose, it kept order. Now that there is panic, things will get out of control, it will now spread easier because the mob will be out of control. The question is what preparations were being made while the masses were calmed. If I were him, I would have underplayed it too while moving the military to step in throughout the country as needed.
easy say you are fulfilling your promise of bringing the troops home, by pulling ones from overseas bases first
Troops in Italy and Korea are staying where they are till may.
Also, the national guard getting deployed to enforce quarantine (as well as standard and reserve armed forces) because guess what. People dont seem to be obeying it.
SORRY the military is better suited to enforce something like this then local police forces. Like fucking hell!
Yall are driving me insane!
Am I the only one keeping a calm head and comparing it to other pandemics...and the like? Seriously people.
Not as bad as flu my ass. I don't remember the flu causing this much bullshit.
That is because it is a common occurance...H1N1 caused issues. So did a whole bunch of ones. They just had a lower infection rate. The standard flu is also so damn common that is why
