Many of us were too selfish to follow suggestions to change our behavior. Now we’re in lockdown and people are needlessly dying.

Yea, I read that. But unlike Italy, we don’t have Asians in this country, so we’re safe.
(do I really need to add /sarc?)
Yawn....
To keep things in perspective, 2 months into the
H1N1 (Swine Flu) pandemic, 1,000 Americans had already died.
Did you see the media melting down when Obama was there?
The media is trying to hurt the economy so that President Trump does not get reelected.
The only real threat is shutting down business and panic buying. That is the real threat.
What did Italy do in WWII?

Exactly!

Yeah, well don’t do that, either.
;)
Northern Italy is their business and manufacturing center. What type of (too close) business did Italy have with China? Is this like what happened to Iran?
Say what? You missed the /s tag.
I actually just saw basically that posted.
If that is the case, gentlemen, then why is Trump helping them by playing along?
Do the two of you actually believe that this is a manufactured event, and that nothing extraordinary is occurring, and that Trump is playing along in order to appease voters?

Gave up
“What type of (too close) business did Italy have with China?”
That has been well documented.
1. Calming our financial markets.
2. Politics.
It's really that simple.
P.S. — This is not a “manufactured event,” but I suspect nothing terribly unusual is taking place on the medical front.
Understood, and I sincerely hope that you are right.
So China is in on it? When it shut down (and locked down) 50% of its population?
And Israel, which is on lock down (for all practical purposes)? I guess Bibi secretly hates Trump, despite our rolling 3-time election being about who is a better friend to Trump?
And Disney World? Which shuts for nothing, barely even 9/11 being shut down?
Come off it.
I can't believe the number of people who imply, suggest or state that this is just a hoax designed by the media to hurt Trump. The cognitive dissonance is fascinating.
