I hope this pandemic can keep the CCP busy from meddling in the US presidential election and investing in Hollywood.
I think it will pull any and all resources for a while.
I noticed after 9/11 (I loved working on those towers in the 90s) that people on the Garden State Pkwy in NJ were going 100 mph give or take, many of them.
The speed limit is 65.
My girl and I stopped off for a sandwich and there was a state trooper there and I told him “People seem to be going a little faster these days.”
He said “Well our resources have been redirected since 9/11 and we have very few cars patrolling the highway.”
So an event like the virus must take away from other resources.
I live in NYC and it was horrifying.
But there’s a difference. It was a horrible event but it only directly affected NYC.
This disease may spread across the entire country over in China.
I can’t imagine the amount of resources needed for that.
