I'm just about to the point where I don't even want to hear about the election campaigns any more, least not until there's a strategy to deal with this, not so much in China but in the rest of the world, and a strategy to deal with the effects on the American economy and people of the crisis in China.

If I was President Trump, would contact former Presidents Obama, Bush, and Clinton, plus the House and Senate Majority and Minority Leaders. Tell them time to call a truce in the public battles; they need to see a comprehensive (medical, military, economic, political) briefing by the CIA re China, the virus, and the growing problems. Have the briefing. Get a bipartisan consensus on how to proceed. Set up a National Rationing Board with the three former Presidents as co-chairs. Have the House and Senate leaders draft and pass legislation to implement the decisions made by the consensus. Get this done, then meet with leaders of the major countries, who are likely to be in the same boat.

Time is short. The virus continues to proceed. We could also lose production in Korea, Japan, Vietnam. We aren't the only country that does business with these countries. Believe we are better situated than most other countries to deal with the loss of imports but it is vital to establish national priorities and procedures to use what we have and can get effectively. The country needs to know there's a national strategy that both parties have signed onto. Otherwise, things could get bad enough here that the election is far off most people's radar screens. Jobs will be lost and people will suffer.
If the country was close to being unified that might be an option, but the past twelve years have killed a lot of the political will that's needed to do that kind of move.
 

Two more in LackLand.


Quarantine people wandering around outside. Guess China number 1# for having bars on windows and locks on the doors. Who knew.
 
Update:
The China they DON'T want you to SEE! 31:43 Minutes 2/21/2020
AND I fucking agree with this. Shit monkeys they are. Shit monkeys they will always be.
 
That's not Canada's Weather being Drunk. That's just the fact that there are thousands of miles between Vancover and Newfoundland. Nobody makes a big deal if Moscow has different weather from London.
What would make it "drunk" is if one area had radical shifts in climate over a period of a few weeks, but even then that would be one area, not Canada as a whole.

I'm from Canadaland. It was a joke. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not sure if this was posted. Lab animals sold to wet markets is seemingly being confirmed.

Of course, if they're confirming that, the real screwup is probably far worse. China wouldn't allow this to get out unless this was the GOOD sounding option.
 
so once all this is over, whether this thing kills 1/10 or 1/100000 some things are guaranteed to happen. China's reputation is fucked and their people will die in droves because of a majority of reasons and asian trade in general will probably take a big hit so what do you expect for the future, who will end up on top and who will crumble?
 
China's reputation is fucked
mao piled bodies up better than stalin or hitler and nobody gives a shit today. if one mass murder doesn't ruin your reputation, then what's another mass murder?
the cultural revolution and great leap forward make SARS, MERS, and COVID-19 look like "just the flu" anyway.

get it? ha ha.

Corona-chan has ended China and the US's trade war in the US's favor, I say.

Man I remember as a kid reading a national geographic published book on world history that called Mao's Great Leap Forward a "mixed success". I guess in that it failed to eradicate all of the Chinese.

Mao killed his own people, Xi went and released a deadly plague that killed people across the globe, just the thought that buying shit form China has a chance his infecting you and your country with the plague will lower peoples opinion of them.
