    Never understood how or why this woman was worthy of a microsecond of airtime. Perhaps a bit of the Kardashian phenomenon: Famous for being famous?

    Florida recorded a record high of new cases today, after the 2nd highest total yesterday, and yet, they move to Phase II and their Governor tries to get the RNC.

    Boy, that didn't age well. That 1 US case Feb 29th has now turned into almost 2 million in the US. (Which is only reported cases)

    Yeah at the time I wasn’t aware of China’s large scale lies and coverup of the magnitude of this. They deserve the worlds scorn for their shameful actions.

    You sound exactly like Trump. I can't even bother myself by responding to any of your comments anymore. We obviously will never agree on this subject.

    You can't bother because you're intellectually incapable of doing so. Let me ask you this - do you approve of China's handling of the virus? Are you educated on what they did?

    If you pay people enough money, they will say or do anything.

    Someone did an on-air interview with Alex Jones
    As soon as they went to commercial break, Jones was calm, docile. "And we're back." Jones is ranting and raving and foaming at the mouth.

    Everyone has something to sell. And many salespeople don't think. Is my product harmful?

    Oddly enough I find both of you right - China's government exposed itself for the despicable, corrupt regime that it is and the rest of the world should stop doing business with the country, but Trump and the CDC's response to the outbreak was an absolulte sh$#tshow and exposed just how driven by insane self-interest Trump is.

    I agree with all that. Yeah, it was pretty obvious it came from China, and I know they can't be trusted. But.....it was also obvious we acted far too late after seeing it start spreading in Europe.

    Yeah, Sweden's no lockdown and Ireland's lockdown policy have shown one thing. Ireland has flattened the curve. They are taken a strict approach. It will be interesting to see how the gradual lifts on restrictions up through July affect their numbers.

    If the virus is getting weaker, staying at home in the earlier months was a great idea.

    Sweden can't get those people back.

    Let's not forget there were people in the Administration that was telling Trump that the numbers in the PRC were questionable and that things were going to get bad here. To argue that Trump was just simply deceived by the PRC ignores that he had info otherwise.
