Going to be difficult for them to hard reverse when the NBA came out at the same time as Trump did and suspended their season. I wouldn't put it past them to do so, though. I bet they slam their gears into reverse faster than the Titanic when it saw the iceberg up ahead.
I knew this was what Trump was doing when I read that his move took European leaders by surprise.
It's a brilliant chess move.
This is a disastrous disease that could kill hundreds of thousands? Fine. You and your rich globalist friends can't come here anymore. America is closed.
Well, they're starting to shut down schools in jersey. Over 30 cases and one death.
So I went to the USA today map. Figured cases and deaths would be more or less evenly distributed across major population centers.
Nope. 30 deaths in Washington. Out of 330 cases. 8 total deaths outside of Washington.
Thought...hey, that's pretty weird. Then started reading news articles. Oh shit, almost all of those Washington deaths are related to one nursing home. Several others are related to other nursing homes in the area. Probably a doctor or healthcare worker who travels between locations (my theory).
So almost all of the deaths in the US are people who are above the age of 70 and living in a fucking nursing home.
Have you ever been to a fucking nursing home? Most of the folks who don't have dimensia are there due to a pre-existing condition.
What would be really good to have would be the same breakdowns for the crosstabs (age, pre-existing conditions, age + pre-existing conditions) with the flu.
Once you start digging into the US numbers (Chinese numbers are a joke), this looks more and more like a slightly more lethal version of the flu.
" Probably a doctor or healthcare worker who travels between locations (my theory)."
Good theory. I worked in a long term care facility (nursing home), and we had an outbreak of Scabies. Probably brought in by healthcare workers who do home visits, and see patients in the facility. Didn't take long to infect an entire floor.
Kot of the European countries are considering suspending the season. Italy already has. The Olympic committee is talking about pushing the Olympics back a year or 2. Imo this is very smart move to help avoid the spreading. There will always be that 1 asshole who goes out while sick and risks everyone getting sick.
If you read the statements from the actual people in charge, they aren't trying to 'stop the spread' at all, they are just trying to slow it down because there is genuine fear their dilapidated socialist medical systems will collapse under any real pressure. See: Italy.

History nerd here. The funny thing about that is that the Titanic going full reverse and hard to starboard probably is what doomed it. Had they killed the prop and hit the iceberg head on it's theorized that the watertight compartments could've contained the blow to a small section and the ship would've sunk much slower allowing time for the Carpathia to save more people.

Typical Trump double bind.
It is!😍

At the end of flu season.
Fuck the media.

European markets already in free fall.

So if the captain of the ship had actually believed the ship was indestructible, quantum physics would have saved it? /jk
I'm sorry, but I CANNOT hear Titanic and iceberg in the same sentence without hearing Jamie Brockett:
*All of a sudden ... the Captain's eyes popped wide open.
He stood right up straight ... grabs a hold o' da wheel ...
Looks on out at the bow o' dat boat n' he say,
"I'M GONNA MOVE YOU BABY!!!"
And he did right on into an iceberg
n' she went right on down*
