Wall ass now talking about rationing beds and ventilators in hospitals, typical driveby it's all trumps fault BS!! .............
wall ass talking about Italy that has few of the things we have medically has all kinds of old people and had this:
Half of Milan is full of Chinese workers who live in cheap row housing/10 to a room. Who work like slaves to roll out the Prada clothing and handbags. They had direct flights to and from Beijing/Wuhan and people wonder how it is that Italy was affected with this?
Meanwhile we here in the USA are daily losing our liberties to assemble freely, as they close down events, churches, Broadway etc.Brilliantly stated by another freeper.
Are these Chinese workers dying or Italians? If it is Chinese it is a completely different story.
Deep State is in a win-win solution. If the numbers don't materialize as predicted, then the measures we took mitigated the disaster.

In the meantime, Pelosi is erecting more Xmas trees in the form of coronavirus funding bills that include all kinds of goodies for Dem constituencies. Never let a crisis go to waste.
Looking at past history, since it keeps repeating itself.

Well today it is the Chines doing their part in reliving the current swing of the pendulum
The Greek Comedies/Tragedies also do their part in documenting the human condition
