Will Democrats now be for secure borders when they were previously against it?

As truthful and reliable as CDC was over the Ebola event I think I’ll choose not to trust them.

I’d like to see the directions of people self quarantining... I know of a woman who works for a multinational who was just told to ‘stay home’ for two weeks... I assume not to infect her co-workers. No instructions for NOT going to resteraunts, using ATM machines, going shopping etc... Where are the guidelines?

Overall, 575 people in New York have been identified as being at “medium risk” because of recent travel to mainland China, according to the state Health Department.

It’s one of many states monitoring travelers from China who have agreed to lie low for a few weeks out of an abundance of caution.

The California Public Health Department said there are more than 5,400 such people in the state. In Washington state, 745 people have been asked to self-quarantine. Georgia health officials identified about 200 travelers.

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services said more than 300 people were referred for monitoring.

In Virginia, 138 residents are being monitored. “They were asked to remain at home and practice social distancing,” said Dr. Lilian Peake, the state epidemiologist. She said social distancing means avoiding public transportation (including taxis and ride-sharing) and large public gatherings and staying about 6 feet away from others.

A total of 27 people are under voluntary self-quarantine in Iowa. North Dakota has 10.

Yes, the average Joe in the USA NEEDS all those surgical masks here...because EVERYONE lives in extremely polluted, overcrowded urban areas with poor sanitation.

Nope. This is their dream. Deceased maga voters and new influx of brown illegal voters. It’s a win win for them. The only way they can win.

All part of their plan. I’m sure they have plenty of their own supplies.. and immunity.. for along time now.
How far would they go to stop an election? They seem pretty good at timing.

It’s almost like there’s a covert nternational effort to create a pandemic die-off of the the human species starting with urbanized areas.

That...is interesting.

1) Urban blue areas are where all the Dem votes are.

2) As a character in a C.S. Lewis novel wrote,

“In fighting those who serve devils one always his this on one's side; their Masters hate them as much as they hate us. The moment we disable the human pawns enough to make them useless to Hell, their own Masters finish the work for us. They break their tools.”

Every single government on this planet is terrified of losing control. Every government is terrified that things are never really far from being out of control. Every government is terrified of its people finding out just how little control over things the government really has.

It really is the very last thing they are willing to give up, the illusion that they have things under control.
