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.

Resources go scarce when it takes 7 men and 4 photographers to install bars on a single door.

I’m wondering if the CCP put this out to show what a great job they were doing, taking the virus seriously and all. It looks like propaganda to me.

Maybe in deaths and immediate property damage.

BUT, the entire nation lost when Bush and his cronies started laying down new laws to strip us of our rights.

And those abuses continue to today. Ever hear of FISA? New NSA server banks?

I view the Garden State Parkway as training/practice grounds for some of the roads that are even closer to NYC, such as the LI Expressway and the merging into NYC from the north as you come down I-95.
