I can understand her arrogance, inexperience, vanity and ideological obsession, but I'm still stunned that anyone can struggle to remember how to make a cocktail one moment, and presume to lecture the world on how to solve all the world's problems two years later. That is presumption and delusion on a truly Olympian scale. The only thing more mind-boggling is that there are millions of Americans who eat this shit up with both hands. She's a millennial's dream. No proven / earned skill set, found fame (was put into position by her handlers), and now has a public forum to spout off whatever ideological brilliance she once read in a fortune cookie as though it were proven by Einstein himself.

You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before. Rahm Emanuel.
1. Create a crisis. 2. Sell the crisis in the media. 3. Flame the fear of the crisis in Hollywood movies. 4. Scare the hell out of our children in school about the crisis. 5. Blame Republicans for not caring about the crisis. 6. Need billions to fight the crisis. 7. Big Pharma and government insiders get rich. 8. Start new crisis.
The democrats are calling for 8 billion dollars to fight this. Questions. Who's making the testing kits? Who's making the masks and safety suits? Who's making the meds?
Google (Postpone the 2020 election) and you will find 10 links about how Republican are calling to postpone the 2020 election. The democrats will be blaming Trump for everything while filling there pockets with the billions we are spending.

Who's making the masks and safety suits?I can't answer all your questions, tarmac, but I can handle this one. I have a patient who owns a number of factories in China and has friends over there for asking him if he can provide masks for them, because they have basically run out in China and there is a panic and stampede on the stores for them. He asked me if I could get some for him. "How many?" I asked. "500" he answered. "Sure. I'll have them ordered today." I went to the nurse in charge of supplies and asked him if he could order 500 masks for me. He said he'd put in the order but it'd take an indefinite wait to get them because they're on back order already. "Why's that?" I asked. "Because they're all made in China."

Don't confuse him with facts Luca, he's busy blaming Big Pharma and the Democrats.

I think you mean the military's money that was moved to build the stupid wall.

Well Jim Jordan probably didn't have mind to destroy...but that's what happens when you elect a wrestling coach to Congress. You get people who can't read or understand newspaper articles...like the one he quoted and claimed was about people blaming Pence for HIV when in fact they were blaming Pence for his RESPONSE to the HIV outbreak in Indiana while he was governor.

Bi-partisan efforts to fight the flu?
Imagine if they tackled border security, or gun violence, or...

No panic... by the time this hysteria swings mainstream, Israel will have developed the cure.

Interesting non the less at the 2% death rate compared to some of the others, sure it has to do with what countries an outbreak originates and what level of medical advancement those places have. If that was ending in January where are we at know...?

It's always interesting to look at these numbers with some perspective. I believe one person has died of the corona virus in the United States, and upwards of 700 globally, and fanned by the media, Americans are near a state of panic. On the other hand, it's estimated an average of 35,000 people die every year in the United States alone from the flu or it's associated complications. That's almost a hundred a day, yet most people still forego their flu shots.
We've become a nation of sheep, and the mainstream media is the shepherd, making us run in whatever direction they want us to go.

It's all the got.

SARS, Swine Flu, Ebola....
All were supposed to be the current iteration of the Plague and supposed to wipe out large segments of the world population...
