JF, that is what happens when the Federal Government runs healthcare and epidemic management instead of markets. The politically connected and social elites get access to things that no one else does.

Greenwald has his moments. IMO, he is a good writer, even if his ultimate point is wrong.
 
Pelosi and House Dems put forth a bill to try and rescind Trump's travel ban (with regard, for example, to the restriction on US entry from China). It's called the No Ban Act. Seems amazingly dumb, but this is what they do. Anyway, seems like they decided to pull it NO BAN Act (H.R. 2214)
 
Tales from Italy says "A coronavirus cautionary tale from Italy: Don’t do what we did. Many of us were too selfish to follow suggestions to change our behavior."

They are sending some patients back home to die

" .... The hospital in Bergamo was not the only hospital in the area dealing with a lack of capacity and rationing of care. The same day, I heard from a manager in the Lombardy health care system, among the most advanced and well-funded in Europe, that he saw anesthesiologists weeping in the hospital hallways because of the choices they are going to have to make.

In the days since, overwhelmed hospitals have set up tents as makeshift hospital wards, and cargo containers have been placed at the entrances of medical centers to sort out patients coming at an increasing pace. Some of the people who can’t get medical care are dying in their homes.

As more medical professionals started to describe similar situations on social media and in interviews, the Italian society of anesthesiologists published extraordinary new guidelines to help doctors facing ethical dilemmas, making clear that the “first come, first served” criterion that had been used among patients with the same illnesses and level of risk in ordinary times was not appropriate in dealing with the current emergency.

Until last week, the Italian public health care system had the capacity to care for everyone. Our country has universal health care, so patients aren’t turned away from hospitals here. But in a matter of days, the system was being felled by a virus that I, and many other Italians, had failed to take seriously...."​

I dont see how the virus is not ripping through Africa
I know they have a high incidence of HIV clusters in some countries, it seems like it would be devastating those communities
Maybe it is but there is just no reporting?

The Chinese lied about the origin. By at least two weeks it looks like. Perhaps longer. Patient Zero dates to Dec 1 now and he was not connected to the food market as they have been telling us.

Also, despite the CCP crackdown on news, there are some brave nurses in China taking videos on their phones of all the patients, bodies piling up and their lack of supplies (gloves,masks, etc). China has been saying 800 cases. Others say more like 44,000. The Chinese nurses estimate 95,000

The Chinese seem to be admitting now that the outset does predate Dec 1
Time will show the CCP knew about this going back at least to Nov, probably Oct, possibly even further back in time. They knew about it but did not disclose it. They tried to self-manage and hide it from the world as well as their own people. They finally went public only once they realized it was out of control and they could not contain it.

Had they been honest and forthcoming from the outset, let the CDC in, the global pandemic part of this might have been prevented. Or at least minimized.

Right now in China, the CCP is running a massive PR campaign to blame the virus on the US. It's the CIA or the US Army. And apparently it is working. I have seen anecdotal accounts from young Chinese in the US who phone home only to have their parents tell them this was all an American plot against China.
 
Trump got asked about this question today about the PR smear coming out of China (the question was asked by an OAN reporter of course, the MSM are too far up the butts of the CCP to ask it). He was very diplomatic, talked about the trade deals we have with them. Talked about his phone calls with Xi - says he never says that. Trump knows the two countries are too overlapped still. But at the end, he raised his voice a little, saying we know where it came from and they know where it came from.

If any post deserves a poop emoji, this is the one.

I do note that the states suffering the worst are run by Libs. Coincidence? Another example of bad management and failed policies from Democrats unprepared to take care of their citizens? Evil Trumpy?

There is a funny parallel between this virus and the holy one (Obama) in terms of what they do for the guns/ammo manufacturers
