Is anyone here naive enough to think that all of the Democrat governors in PA, NY, NJ, CT, IL, CA, WA acted independently to announce economically crippling shutdowns, all on Monday morning?
All for 49 deaths.
I read that after the 1906 San Francisco quake Teddy Roosevelt wrote the CA governor and send he would send help. The governor replied that if they needed help, they would ask for it.
We've come a long way, baby.
AS Reagan said government is the problem,Trump understands it.
If I was one of the FReepers turning on President Trump, i would think long and hard before I did that. You will not like the alternative.
Im not an alarmist; this is reality. People are walking around as carriers for 2 to 10 days not knowing they are infecting others. Even if we stop all new infections NOW (isnt happening) the already infected people are going to show up in the numbers. A few days ago OK had 2 cases in different cities. Now its 10 scattered across the state. I have a source that just one hospital has 7 more cases yet to be reported.
Drastic shutdowns HAVE to occur to stop this. Has it occurred to you the Dems are in states/cities with concentrated urban populations? Of course they are going to take action first.
Our mistake as a nation was not quarantining everyone coming into the US mid-January. Cities and states are making the same mistake if they delay. The real issue is that more states / cities arent shutting down. Research Taiwan to see what they did. Also research Gunnison CO during the Spanish Flu 1918 epidemic.

Certainly an interesting talking point.
"All for 49 deaths."
It's not for 49 deaths. It's for what's coming.
Certainly an interesting talking point.
I guess some are finding some kind of emotional reward in it.
In essence it would be like a stamp of approval on everything we all find so repugnant.
Turning the temporary into the permanent.
What are you talking about? I knew it would come to our shores quickly. In January, when I first heard about it wrecking havoc in China, I started preparing. I wish I had taken even stronger measures to stay safe, but I didn’t want to appear like a nut.
Stay safe and God bless you.
