European nations are closing their borders....something the pro-migrant crowd would never have done.

The better nations have closed their borders to all international traffic.

Either we are being led into one world or this will MAKE every country assess their borders and supply chains. At this point I will choose the latter. Looks like to me that China will suffer the most.

China was finished as an economic superpower a few years ago....but it takes time for it to happen.

Trump’s tariffs and this Covid-19 have put the nail in China’s dominance.

Just like Japan of the 1980s, China will be a footnote in economic history.

“...there IS one thing no true leftist would ever agree to do...close the U.S. / Mexico border.”

In case you’re a fan of Cliff Notes.

However, there IS one thing no true leftist would ever agree to do, under any circumstances, no matter how dangerous the costs could be for not doing so - close the U.S. / Mexico border.

Mexico is doing it for us.

In the ultimate manifestation of extreme ‘cancel’ culture meets the domino effect, Americans have decided to cancel seemingly everything, everywhere, because of the coronavirus epidemic. My gut (and hope) says this is all cartoonishly overblown and we’ll look back on some of these extreme measures and laugh, but the rest of the world seems to have decided that it’s the next bubonic plague, or something, and is taking action accordingly.

Did the idiot author ever stop to think that the whole world is not conspiring to fool everyone and that this is not as insignificant as he thinks?

“As of this moment, the second amendment will be enforced nationwide. Every law abiding American is authorized to carry their personal firearms anywhere in the nation. Any government authority attempting to violate these civil rights will be prosecuted and imprisoned for violating USC section 242 title 18.”

"Why can’t the right also use that particular play from the Alinsky playbook, except for good instead of evil?"

The main reason is the left controls all the levers of power. All government is saturated by the left as is all media and the education system. Voting, which is all the right wing has, is ultimately ineffective in fighting tyranny.

All viral epidemics will end. Only in the the extreme worst case, they end when every possible carrier is dead. Since, at least 95% of the victims survive AND become immune to further infections, that can never happen with the Wuhan Virus. Viral infections will only expand when, on average, every victim infects more than one additional victim. They contract and ultimately end when, on average, every victim infects less than one additional victim. If the reinfection rate is 90% and the exposure time is one week, it takes only several weeks to precipitously reduce the number of victims.

There is almost always a seasonal reduction in viral infections. Peak flu months have NEVER occurred from April through September, and the peak month is February. The actions President Trump and the rest of the US are now taking will very significantly reduce the current reinfection rate. That puts us into April, which has never been a peak flu month.

I predict that come mid April, all of the media hyperventilation will switch from “Trump hasn’t done enough” to Trump has done too much”.

".there IS one thing no true leftist would ever agree to do...close the U.S. / Mexico border."

Remember, though, that President Trump originally considered that only $2.5 billion was necessary for immediate funding of a response. The Democrats demanded over $8 billion, leaving an extra $5.5 billion. Now that the emergency declaration has opened multiple more billions, that extra $5.5 billion is now sitting idle.

What better way to spend it than to prevent further infestation of the Wuhan Virus through the porous Southern Boundary. An extra $5.5 billion will go a long way toward building the wall there, with NO congressional approvals required.

I’m in favor a sealing the Mexico border. But using WuFlu as the excuse is lame. Unless the US is trying to protect Mexico.

The Demonicrat Party demonstrated its support for restricting the size of public gatherings to 50 people or less by holding a presidential candidate debate in which the two candidates had a combined IQ of less than 50.

First they criticized Trump for banning travel to and from China in early February when most had no idea the extent of what was coming. It was “racist” and “xenophobic,” so they told us. Then, once the virus arrived, they criticized him for supposedly not doing enough. Sure, there are a few things he could and should have said differently along the way, but let’s face it, if President Trump walked right into a research facility tomorrow, donned a lab coat and proceeded to find a cure for coronavirus himself on live television, the left would still find fault.

the political left are the only ones who benefit from every economically detrimental action we take in our efforts to stop the spread of this virus

Political rule #3 - Bad news for America is good news for the Democratic Party, and vice versa.

“And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden alter which is before God,
Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year,
for to slay the third part of men. And the number of the army of the horsemen were
two hundred thousand thousand (200 million): and I heard the number of them.”

Revelation 9:13-16

Horesmen move swiftly. Could this be describing the advancing CV plague?
