Go look up the word “Epidemic” in the dictionary

Is that what we are experiencing here in the US?

Worldwide is that what is happening??

Strange that no cases have been reported in India with 1.5 Billion people

Even in other countries the numbers may be in the hundreds at worst

Got a new name for folks who spread misinformation

Pandemic Pimps

Makes me wonder where they are really coming from, what they get out of it...

I have my own ideas, pretty clear really

They have 3 reported cases in India. I would not be surprised if they actually have several hundred or several thousand. Their public health is lacking so there are probably a lot of unreported cases. The virus started with one case in China at the beginning of Dec. By the end of January they had 75,000. I do think it’s an epidemic. We can slow it down and reduce the number of victims by taking action but I question whether it can be stopped. There really isn’t anything to stop it. The media has been saying that chinas dictatorship is a weak way to stop it because of how they quashed the reporting. However one advantage they have is that they can quarantine a whole city or province with an order from Xi. Trump can’t do that I don’t think. At least not without declaring martial law.
