This shit is airborne. They don’t shut everything down for anything less.
The government generally tells us only 10% of the truth. I wouldn’t expect that to be any different here.
Experts tell White House coronavirus can spread through talking or even just breathing
A prestigious scientific panel told the White House Wednesday night that research shows coronavirus can be spread not just by sneezes or coughs, but also just by talking, or possibly even just breathing.

Personally, I prefer poverty to death. I’ve been poor before, I can deal with that shit.

At the moment, I don't trust a word coming out of any official or politician. They clearly do not know wtf they are doing...This shit is airborne. They don’t shut everything down for anything less.

Months of warning they had, and they dragged their feet which is why we are all experiencing the detrimental effects of this virus.

This is the natural follow on "as a result of the virus"
...I'm just not buying that part of the narrative right now. We will all have to suffer greatly before a universal solution to the problem can be offered.
....that's what I can see coming down the pipe anyway
Just to play devils advocate - by the time even China identified the virus it was likely way too late t avoid this.
China and the WHO and all the governments who dragged their feet and obfuscated the truth should be tried at The Hague for crimes against humanity but at the same time - when we are literally living in a global community already I don’t think there was much of anything that could have been done.
Had the first person who got sick been detected immediately and then the whole Chinese province nuked off the map.. but that’s not real life. No way for immediate detection with a brand new thing no ones ever seen before

The WHO, China...literally every body of superiority that could have done something should have done more. Many deaths could've been prevented and hospitals could've been better equipped...
Trump sent off ventilators to China thinking the US was somehow immune?? Boris Johnson refused to join the EU scheme where they were sharing ventilators and resources...Brexit was sourced as a reason!
I mean I get where you're coming from but the level of complacency is criminal coming from the people who are now, supposedly so concerned for our welfare and trying to keep nations afloat with borrowed money which will be paid back for generations to come.
As I said they should all be tried at The Hague. I agree with you.
The part I don’t agree with was that this could have been entirely prevented. The virus didn’t surface in an isolated native tribe, it surfaced in a global community. By the time what they were dealing with was identified it was already out there - everywhere.
There were a million things these fuckers could have done to mitigate and lessen the impact, they didn’t. And they should be punished for that to the fullest extent. Prioritizing the markets over people’s lives.. I just can’t explain how angry that makes me.
But at the same time they were dealing with the information China was giving.. and Chinese statistics make it look not so bad. China’s statistics are clearly a lie. They should have been treated as a lie from day one.. but how do you do that when all of our economies are so completely intertwined? Trump has business interests there, his merchandise is made there so is his daughters.. im assuming most other world leaders have similar conflicts of interest.
If anything this should just prove our global capitalist experiment is a complete and utter failure that is unsustainable under the pressure of ANY crisis.

Not good and such a reversal of what trump was able to accomplish..probably shouldn’t get rid of him for the virus and keep him around to keep America great and pumping the economy up..he did it once, he could do it again.

Bill Maher said Friday that he is "hoping" for the bottom to fall out on the economy and for the country to enter a recession so we can "get rid of Trump." He said one way to do that is a "crashing economy." Maher said he is "sorry" if it hurts people, but rooting for a recession is a prevention...

'Highly-scalable' coronavirus vaccine a few months from human trials

Their reporting of covid 19 has been atrocious.

I was wondering if this would happen and what would happen with the homeless...the virus is so catchy...but one homeless person has just now caught it? How is that possible?

Not all the time, just letting you know that it isn't a great source of info and since you use it a lot, thought I'd tell you.
It's a trashy tabloid paper...no different to The Sun.

They say the same things as other papers...so I don’t see the problem with linking to them.
