Have you read anything out of China? Beside the crap the CCP is handing out.

More than1500 of their medical staff in Hubei is out of the game. You think that is going to help?

I am not telling anyone to panic. I am simply saying there is dust on the horizon. Is it buffalo? Or is it a bunch of Indians coming for the fort? How are you going to find out?

What’s the recovery rate percentage. Asking for a troll.

Given that Chinese numbers are suspect, the numbers from everywhere else become more important.

Those numbers are very encouraging.

No cases yet reported in the southern hemisphere. That may or may not change by the onset of autumn next month.

If companies like Apple and Samsung (and a thousand others) don’t realize the need to bring production back to America now...well, they’ll just have to join the ash heap of history.

Turns out the tariffs were just a prescient warning...

And why no word from Indonesia?

The people that I know are very concerned about the radio silence from Indonesia.

The army has sent in medics and they’re building a hospital to treat new cases.

Ok. I am done with you.

The ports are closed. For a least two weeks.

They are securing 400,000,000 people. Nothing in. Nothing out.

With respect, Do some reading. Stop making yourself look silly.

Whose army?

Whose medics?

Where’s this hospital?

Got a link for all of that....info?

Are you talking about the hospitals that went up, overnight almost, weeks ago, in Wuhan?

We’re way past that being of any use, if so.

I’m concerned with India, Pakistan, and especially Turkey. All have military reasons to stay quiet about possible cases.

Much of the Southern Hemisphere has huge Chinese populations, and was the destination for many Wuhan passengers post ban.

The only continent it’s not on is Antarctica. I’ll give them a pass because it’s “summer.”

Health authorities in Japan are hurrying to come up with effective measures to contain the spread of the new coronavirus after they found it hard to track down the infection routes of some cases.

Until recently, in most of the infection cases it was easy to identify the routes as the majority were either people who flew back from the Chinese city of Wuhan or people onboard a quarantined cruise ship near Tokyo.

The officials say the number of other domestic cases increases day by day. They confirmed seven new patients on Friday and another 12 on Saturday.

“But I believe the China thing is OVER, and over for a very long time, and I’m surprised that people don’t understand.”

It’s a capability that some have better than others - the ability to visualize the future, given a set of inputs. Maybe think of it like chess - the grandmasters can think 10 moves ahead (or maybe 5, or whatever), but I’m lucky to think more than one move ahead.

But that’s chess - this one is real easy for me to see. To put it simply, China has a piece of virtually EVERYTHING used by the West now, and about the only people that I don’t blame are the Chinese...it’s not their fault that we elected idiots who sold out them. For the Republicans, it was a great way to deal with unions (simply off-shore the work), for the Democrats it was a great way to clean up the air and water (send all the pollution to China). But the problem, of course, is the sheer size of China, they could literally get their tentacles in EVERYTHING in the West, and not miss a beat - which they did. And so now we pay.
