Everything falls on those who sold out the US to Trump.

A powerful nation gives out critical production to its 1%. WTF

A sign of our time...when Trump shut down virus intelligence he was attacked, rightly so.

It is obvious that Faux is a pr institution for Trump.

Fixed it for you. F'ing moron.

Sad news. May she, and we all, fare well.

But on edit, I've heard the news now is that her Corona test came back negative. That's much better!

It's the Chinese virus to you then.

This Washington Post piece should make clear the central role of the personal failings of Trump: U.S. intelligence reports from January and February warned of a likely pandemic. https://www.washingtonpost.com/natio...597_story.html

You’re making the assumption that dondillion actually reads and comprehends. It’s pretty clear that he doesn’t. Much like Whell, he simply parrots the blathering from his favorite 24-Hour “News” hate-monger. His comments are worth exactly that of the hate-monger: zero.

There are West Nile, Ebola, African Swine, Lyme, Spanish and Wuhan.

There are broader issues than Trump's failings which his opponents are trying mightily to avoid, obscure from public view...the bipartisan connection to the Chinese trough.

The Chinese trough, whoever is connected to that emotively-labeled metaphor, is IRRELEVANT to the pandemic we must now deal with. The "Chinese' stuff is distracting you from what matters. Keen insight into the international struggle will not keep you from picking up the virus the next time you go out for a loaf of bread. Your only hope is accurate information, and a good program of epidemic control measures to tamp down your possible exposure until a vaccine is available.

And where medical equipment and drugs are made...not relevant?

Not terribly, I don't think. Pandemic is going to be mainly come-as-you-are. New manufactured supplies will be welcome when they arrive, but they will be late. And the supply chain is water under the bridge in any case--the time for recriminations about the supply situation will be later.

So no, this does not make calling this the "Chinese Virus" ok.

(BTW, if you are correct that we are screwed badly without Chinese resupply, we should avoid pissing them off, no?)
