the French and English have been at war for over 1,000 years.

I had ancestors fighting on both sides in the Norman Conquest, 1066 to 1075.

One useful thing will be to see how public vs private health care performs in these circumstances.

In the UK the distinction ceased to exist today, as the private health sector has made over nearly all its 8000 hospital beds, with staff, to the NHS for the duration of the pandemic:

Thousands of extra hospital beds and staff

Isn’t hijacking a crime over there?

Not when the in power government does it.

Those who make the rules/law can change the rules/law.

If SHTF the buyer has a piece of paper representing a piece of gold which is also valueless.

The only trade goods of real value are ammunition and firearms.

Despite having personally led military against the French in his youth George Washington welcomed a French army to the Colonies ,without which aid there probably wouldn’t be a U.S. separate from England.And it was a France ruled by a king that sent that aid. It was after the Colonies became United States that the French embraced terrorism and murder as their temporary solution.

For what it is worth, the UK death rate for confirmed cases is 4.3%. The US death rate for confirmed cases is 1.2%. In Canada, the death rate is about the same as ours.


It’s rather difficult to make good comparisons at this time, as they are at least somewhat in different parts of the parabola.

Lower numbers for deaths per case, predominantly mean faster detected spread during the left side of the curve.

I said WWI, pay attention.

If the Central Powers had won WWI, then there wouldn’t have been a Hitler.

...if something similar was say traveling through the US from Mexico to Canada would it be ok to seize the truck?

Good question and I'm pretty sure I know what the consensus answer here would be - especially if the masks were headed to Mexico.

What an idiot and a stupid action to boot....95% of all masks should be in the hands of health professionals until there's enough for others...masks are almost useless to prevent the wearer from being infected but very useful to keep sick folks from infecting others (who also practice other precautions).

Med personnel need masks to put on the sick and then to wear themselves to ensure any of them that may still get it don't infect each other and other patients.
