According to most reliable sources NY has been outpacing WA for a couple of days now. Hell, the only reason WA was outpacing us in the beginning is because they had wider access to testing from the start.

I see. I didn't notice that from my sources... then again I wasn't exactly keeping an exact account of things. Thanks for clearing that up.

Hope so. That will help more people in need, especially in high-cost areas. Don't really worry about where the money's coming from - we're so far in debt now that a little more doesn't matter.

Just expropriate ChiCom's buildings, businesses and funds in the US. They're commies, they'll understand. It's reparation for the virus, of course our property belongs to our people. ; )

Oh, 'only 14 deaths'.

I mean, if public health authorities with the same priorities as Trump, who has delibrately blocked people from getting coronavirus testing, say that Flint water has only killed 14 people what choice do we have but to trust them?

Do you even read the stuff you post, conservative?

Since you sound mad at the internet about this, the Flint water crisis was mostly due to the corrupt as fuck Democratic city government sucking up federal and state funds, the Democratic emergency manager not thinking Flint was this bad, and everyone thinking the Flint River wasn't as fucked up as it was.

But carry on.

I could swear there's a David Dees picture that would be appropriate for this but I can't find one that combines BOTH the vaccine needles AND ZOGchow

We didn't have a 24hr news cycle when we were kids.

That certainly doesn't help, but I think it's more than just that. We've become a culture obsessed with safety above all else. When I was a kid I could just hop on my bike and ride anywhere in town, totally unsupervised. All I had to do was tell my parents where I was going and when I thought I'd be back. Even in 1st and 2nd grade I'd walk to school by myself. Now in some places parents can get charged with child neglect for letting their kids walk to school by themselves. And the place I lived then wasn't exactly Mayberry. I'm not even that old. The 24-hour news cycle was already in full swing by the time I was born. I don't know exactly what caused the obsession with safety, and a sociologist could probably write a Ph.D. disseration on it, but I have to think the one-two punch of Columbine and 9/11 was a huge contributor.

Now I know this is out there. But try to follow me. Have you considered the African Countries might not have the infrastructure to identify and test for the virus?

Anyone else find it weird how African countries are only now seeming to get hit but this? With Chinese investment in Africa and also different lifestyle there, you'd have thought African countries would be ahead of Europe on this. Maybe a tourist thing?

Subsaharan Africans generally have a life expectancy of 45 if they survive early childhood.

I am not joking. That is why nobody there gives a rat's ass about catching AIDS.

I know this because I was friends with a graduate student who did field work in Uganda.

Ethiopians etc are a completely different tribe.

Yeah, it really sucks to see an America that always runs scared. Wasn't always this way. Bet WWII America would be laughing their asses off at us if they could see what America has become.

Does your call for a boycott also extend to Chinese-made masks, Chinese-made ventilators, and Chinese-made medicine?

Yes. Fuck China and all the garbage made in that shithole. The US can make its own ventilators/PPE/medicine. China has fucked itself into irrelevance with their Wuhan flu.

Here's a few things you should look up:

Masks full of fiberglass and chink semen.
Ventilators made out of old vacuum cleaner hoses, duct tape, and stolen air conditioner motors
Medicine full of chalk, asbestos, lead powder, and chink spit.

Yeah, I think we can do without whatever the slants have to offer us.

The world got along just fine when the majority of gooks were shitting in rice patties, we'll be fine without CHINUH NUMBAH WUN! bullshit.

LOL "Chinese-made medicine". Remind me who invented that medicine again? Meanwhile the Chinese are still grinding up pangolin scales and harvesting bear bile. This virus is the first thing created in China since gunpowder that works and isn't a total copy of something invented elsewhere.
