This whole thing stinks to high heaven. At most so far 59 people have died, with most of them being in one nursing home in Kirkland WA. The media is fear mongering harder than ever to make orange man look bad. Schools and businesses are closing which is sure to send us into recession if not worse. Out of 330,000,000 people, 59 have died in the US and everything is screeching to a halt. Something isn't right here but it's fucking everything up. The economy was the best it's ever been in the history of our country and now everything is going to shit because of less than 100 deaths. More people probably die each year from skiing accidents. This is un fucking believable.
EDIT: I'm not saying this is a total hoax. I'm saying the media overreaction is making things way worse than they have to be. Panicking is never going to make anything better. If this is truly as bad as some of you are saying, I hope it justifies sending our economy into great depression 2 Corona boogaloo
It is and it’s backfiring bigly.
Corona Virus has highlighted the insanity of moving our manufacturing base to China and India, particularly medical supplies and drugs. It’s also demonstrates the need for strong border protection. Corona Virus is going to destroy globalism as we know it. It’s glorious.
This is the most under rated comment right now. The world just changed forever, but in a way that will utterly destroy China as they know it. Companies will never single source their supply chain again. Travel from countries with outbreaks will be shut down faster than before. Our healthcare system and readiness will be reevaluated to be able to respond to this much better. Companies will be prepared for employees working from home much easier. Airlines will better prepare themselves. There will be an economic boom of unseen proportions after this while the entire world changes.
