    1) China's lax health codes and wet market's are the root cause of the cross species virus transmission.
    2) The evil, dystopian, CCP is the root cause for the violent, aggressive, global spread and global lack of forewarning and knowledge.
    3) The world's reliance on China's slave wage labor force and sub standard manufacturing, are the cause of global supply chain interruptions and goods shortages.
    ...
    4)Now and only now do we get to each countries successful or unsuccessful counter attack against the pandemic and all related issues.

    I will not allow folks to conveniently skip steps and jump to step 4 in a full outrage. Don't be like the CCP, instead be honest and helpful.

    Also, as you start to think about how stupid Americans can be, listen or read this transcript as a reminder how stupid Chinese people are as well. Point is humans are stupid, not just Americans.

    Yes, but PC Culture, China, the "China Virus" give the far right folks like @dachuda86 the talking points he needs to push his narrative that this is not Trump to blame but someone else.

    Interestingly enough all his talking points come from sources that coordinate with the White House - he is literally repeating propaganda points from the Trump admin.

    And that's fine, to consider buying a gun. Nobody is closing in on taking that right away from you. NRA is using a period of panic to manufacture a narrative that doesn't exist. The usual...

    I won't lie, I am thinking of buying a gun for the first time. It's not the NRA - it's the fact that home invasions are going to rise as people get desperate for money and the police may not be as responsive.

    The supply chains are intact people are just buying way more than usual. I give it a couple more weeks and things will hopefully even out. Doesn't hurt to have a firearm in these times, with our current leader we don't know what to expect down the road.

    You should get one like yesterday, get to a range, and get comfortable shooting it. I've been pulling out my ammo cans from storage and cleaning my guns here recently. I do think, unfortunately, after a few more weeks of this people will start getting desperate and crime is going to spike. I also pulled about $5k out of the bank just as a precaution. If things destabilize, I think will deteriorate quickly.

    the NRA has to do this because their only financial support that matters comes from gun manufacturers. They need to show value at these times and boost sales for their overlords if they want to keep cashing them checks

    Yet Taiwan is doing great. SK is on the right path. China is returning back to normal. Singapore is also doing well. Japan not too bad.

    In TWN, after they were hampered with SARS, they created a new body solely responsible for future bio threat. The Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) was created and are responsible for coordinating across all gov dept and mobilize resources during crisis. They jumped right into action in Jan and have been successful. Does this centralize coordination agency sounds familiar? Yes, because we also had something like that after Ebola, until Trump / Bolton killed it.

    Supply chain doesn't worry me, rather it's if we enter into a depression, crime is going to spike.

    Good selections and pricing at these sites, usually better pricing than at some sporting goods store or local gun shop.

    But I thought only test if fever and symptoms?
    Smh

    We have been saying for almost a week that everyone needs a test and that its not just for fever.
    Its infuriating that even now people still don't get this. The 14 day counter keeps resetting and until we all get it or get tested this is going to not stop.

    We need testing for everyone

    kinda shocking. but lots of people will contract it whether we measure it or not.

    I do: (1) wonder if Rand and family kinda wish a big, functional government could protect him from an outbreak, and (2) wish him good health.

    He may be in for a heck of a struggle.

    In Italy health care workers working with non-infected patients only get tested if coughing or fever because it is assumed they will get it. They are working with people who have it and this is a crisis.

    People in government who might have it need to be quarantined. RP being tested just saved a ton of new infections.
