GERMANY is the "Dirty Bastard" in the E.U.....their ambitions go way beyond just wanting the E.U. to succeed: They want to run Europe in entirety!

Portugal, Spain, Greece and Italy — arguably those hit the most by the sovereign debt crisis — have all been relaxing their economic policies.

[Vacuum7]

Talaniman: Well, they are on a "Death Wish Watch List".....Greece is a habitual offender: Germany is like a crack dealer: Hand out loans for ridiculous interest rates and they will always be on the hook.

All those economies that relax below the snow line, enjoying the sunshine, but now the coronavirus will become a problem

Spreading everywhere rather quickly is pretty inevitable if China is any indication, and do we know where it comes from yet? Looks like a long battle against a bug here, folks.

[Vacuum7]

It was a ChiCom superbug biological weapon that either got away from them/escaped or was unleashed as a test and got out of hand OR was done purposely: The ChiCom can lose half their population and still be the 2nd largest country in the world, so they can absorb large loses: WE CANNOT!

[talaniman]

Even the Chinese haven't had those kinds of death rates yet, but obviously it's everywhere and the dufus has put Pence in charge after lying to us that everything is under control. This after slashing budgets and ending programs that were design specifically for this kind of event.

Don't even watch Wall Streets response.

Hmmm, isn't Pence one of those fundie Christians who's looking ahead to the apocalypse and the rapture? Now he can do his part to make them happen! (Why does he always have the same facial expression? Have we ever heard him speak?)

Talaniman: With the "traffic" that now exist in this world, isolating a virus is going to be impossible, especially one that has a 14 day incubation period WHERE THAT SAME PERSON IS CONTAGIOUS EVEN BEFORE SYSMPTOMS ARE SHOWN. You can imagine one person's circle of contact expanded over a 14 day period and then expand those contacts into and ever wider circle of contacts: The expansion rate become exponential. I think this epidemic is going to be hard to make into a political football.

[talaniman]

People will be judged by how they react to this health crisis. That means all the leaders. Any crisis can be a political football if the leaders don't address this situation correctly, as well they should be. This is where the rubber meets the road and I doubt there will be much tolerance of just lip service from any leader.

Not a good look to get rid of people whose job it is to handle pandemics, and then have one is it? That's not politicalizing an issue, just the reality of the consequences of short sited political decision that will no doubt have consequences unless the right correction is made..PDQ! You worried he is up to the task or something? Have you no faith he and he alone can fix it as he bragged?

This is when the tough get going and talkers get gone. Plain and simple.

[Vacuum7]

If you cannot or ARE NOT WILLING to seal your borders, a Pandemic cannot be stopped short of entering your country.

[tomder55]

wonder how many Dems think travel restrictions are "racist" now ?

[jlisenbe]

It's going to be interesting when libs begin to get sick to see how they figure out a way to blame Trump for not sealing our southern border.

[talaniman]

I already blame the dufus for dismantling the scientists in charge of dealing with such diseases. You knew there were no safety protocols when the sent two planes to bring Americans home from China each had both healthy and infected folks on the same plane. I mean like DUH! Yes folks the State Department was the lead on that instead of SCIENTISTS, as well as the folks from the cruise ship. Sure we are in good hands with the dufus administration, what could go wrong? You still worried about immigrants? You better worry about your local hospital being ready, you know just in case.

Plus the dufus said it would just disappear soon, so why worry?

Some people say it would be racist to deny entry to the U.S. of people from Red China....it would be XENOPHOBIC.....Today is an age where even viruses have Civil Rights.

It's already here. Brace yourself for Armageddon. Will you be raptured?

[Vacuum7]

It is not up to me, W.G.: We all will be judged....it is out of our hands....this is called FAITH.

[talaniman]

I always was a hope for the best but plan for the worst type of person. I think this crisis gets worse before it gets better. Everybody else has shut stuff down and told people to stay home while the health systems get overwhelmed and we probably will face the same decisions.

Yes Tal, your hospitals and medicines will be too expensive for the poor, people will die in the thousands all you can do is close borders like the rest of us

Wow. Weren't you the one telling us a few weeks back that we should not judge?
