A forever thread is getting long. Perhaps a weekly thread?

I imagine things are pretty bad in Wuhan, still - but remember, unlike the USSR after Chernobyl, there are two rival governments which under the right circumstances could contend for power in Beijing - the governments in Taipei and in Hong Kong.

Some of what you see and hear on Twitter, etc may be the opening propaganda salvos in a new War of the Three Kingdoms.

If even 5% of the population is out of work, long time, because they’re under quarantine or in the hospital for 3-4 weeks, who earns the paycheck? Who takes care of the kids? Who pays the bills?

Banks will go under.

See post # 619, I fixed the link. Don’t know how long Twitter will keep it up though.

If this becomes epidemic here, I predict bernie will win

I have said over and over that Trump is President because 60 000 Democrats in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania believed the throwaway line about a new health plan that would be huge and would cover everybody.

A lot of people who post here about how great what we have is do not know of the rot in the center of the tree trunk.

If the tree gets blown down in the coming storm, then, yes, Bernie Sanders (or his VP choice) will be the next President.

*** I just did some searching to see if I could find any current info re:Texas. Nope, nothing ***

I find it hard to believe that in Cities the size of Houston Dallas/ Ft Worth, there are no cases. So, basically, we peons are out of the loop.

Very bad situation. Stuck in Suth Korea having to rely on a US logistical supply line that is becoming non existent. I would recommend at this point that they apply for South Korea citizenship. At least then they might get tested when needed.

My granddaughter is celebrating in Tobago. Oddly absolutely no cases reported (so far) in Latin America.

Nope. Worse case is to accuse him of spreading false rumors and clubbing him and taking him away.

Makes sense. There’s no way we’ve been taking all these flights in still and have been stuck on such a puny number.

Pres. Trump needs to get on this!

The easiest target administratively to nationalize are the hospitals.

You just know Bernie and his fellow travelers are salivating at the opportunity a crashed healthcare system would afford them. Never let a crisis go to waste....

Then you have the AOC and the "OK Boomer" crowd, who think a virus than takes out huge numbers of older folks, while leaving millennials mostly unscathed, would be a great first step toward utopia.

Interesting data point. Dr. Campbell has another video out and he is beginning to tie in Type2 diabetes (metabolic syndrome) as the comorbidity to nCOVID19. I added the "n" because WHO has whitewashed the disease. I suspected there is a hepatic comorbidity component to this disorder based on ACE2 expression.

No.

But there are a LOT of obama holdovers throughout the government still.

They would absolutely crash things to get rid of Trump.

Look at what the FBI/CIA/State did trying to unseat a lawfully elected sitting president.

So ketosis is probably a good thing to be in if you’re infected?

Just wondering.

Sorry—seeing by your later posts you must mean the goons in the CDC, etc.

Still, Trump needs to get on this. He’s a good month late as it is, with probably too much now imported and dispersed here.

Nope. This will destroy health care. Completely. Doctors, nurses, hospitals all gone. It’s why they are building dozens of hospitals in China with no doctors and no registered nurses. Just feeder and bucket cleaners. I know a few people I would recommend for that job here in the states.

Hundreds in Michigan being monitored due to #coronavirus. On Sunday the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services reported that it is currently monitoring 325 people. All of the people being monitored have been to mainland China. No one is being quarantined. (WDIV-TV)
