Please remember Robert, this is WAR.
Unfortunately, only China declared as much. If you ever get the chance, please go visit China. Any building over 6 stories tall is required to have blast doors in the subgrade floors. Water tight, blast proof doors. My relatives all know their muster points and their escape route in case of nuclear attack. Civil defense isnt forgotten there, it is a way of life. Food, medicines, and hospitals for war are located in all apartment buildings, and there are medically trained people in every one of those apartment towers. The CCP ensures/assigns this. This virus was not in their readiness plan, their civil defense planning was for nuclear war. They prepare for war every day.
America is lazy. We are soft now. And we are prime targets. There are two strains for a reason - Iran was collateral damage, One Belt One Road was the way into Europe thru Italy.
Like I said - this was designed for October, with the full participation of the Democrat Party (US chapter, International Communist Party) . If you doubt me, I dare you to go to the Democratic Socialist Party (DSA) website. After you do, youll understand. They parrot everything of the Democrats and the CCP say, each talking point is there. (As of last week.
Not sure about today, its like going to DU, I cant go there often.)
To all who read this and think Im crazy, please get to know China. Not what you see in travel brochures or read in the media. Those of you have been to strategic Chinese cities for any length of time, you know exactly what Im talking about. The smiling panda has an iron fist.
Does this qualify in your world as panic? These are facts, not rumors. Please, I beg you, prove me wrong. Any of you. Wake up, America. Our media is using the CCP talking points.
Vermont LT, Rummy Chick, et al, Im sitting here quite sober, next to my Chinese wife, chatting with others on WeChat in China. The good ones over there are very concerned about us, our health, our future - just like we felt for them.
The evil ones in China hope this destroys us, and gives them all of planet Earth. What does that tell all of you? What do you honestly think the CCP is hoping to achieve here?
The Middle Kingdom is the 4th Reich. Different accent.
So this actually got out earlier than intended?

But they still won’t know what to do until they are told.
That said, your comparison to the “4th Reich” is spot on. China has refined the philosophies, methods and efficiencies of the Nazis to the point a new book must be written.
China is the penultimate Fascist State. And they are hatching similar ruin.
From what I gather you are Chinese who has become an American, by choice and still have family back in China, and that is your source for on the ground information. I won't quiz you further to see if I am correct, out of fear that I might put your family still there in undue jeopardy.
I had 2 competing suspicions regarding how the virus unfolded there and their seemingly miraculous turn around. Either they were lying about their numbers with regards to recovery. Or they had used their own people as guinea pigs, because they didn't care about a few thousand casualties, and they had already developed a vaccine.
I don't take this virus lightly but I have faith that our president will do what is best for our citizens. I also placed too much faith in our disease control agency, which I have come to determine was misplaced faith. My argument all along has been that hysteria and and panic does nothing for this battle. So stop making things worse with your fears. It only exacerbates the problems. That the press was deliberately whipping up this fear, while in turn chastising him at every tun, in hopes of toppling this president in this election cycle.
China may have the upper hand for now, but it won't stand. When we gets this under control China will have hell to pay.
