    I am pissed at China and I hope in the future they have better health codes/some sort of enforcement/rules for these wet markets.  I am pissed at the US government because they definitely dropped the ball. I'm even more pissed at the morons who are still not taking this seriously.  I'm pissed at the idiots who buy 258 rolls of toilet paper.  And finally I'm pissed off that I am not in quebec city right now.  
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    A supermarket here in Sweden put up a sign "One package of toiletpaper - regular price. The second package 100 SEK (Like 11-12 dollars that is)" to stop the people buying it all up.

    Pretty smart.

    Focusing on just China and their wet markets, and not see the bigger picture of the overall meat consumption culture (and our civilizations reckless relationship to animals) is so unnecessary shortsighted. But I guess it stems from people not wanting to change themselves, and it is easier to just attack those, over there on the other side of the world.

    As in, STOP EATING MEAT = STOP EMERGING VIRUS PANDEMICS

    That’s not really what that says.



    How can someone say “don’t blame China” and “blame Trump” in the same sentence?

    Blame Trump for not taking his briefings seriously in Jan and Feb about the risks, and downplaying it to the American people.  It's not Trump's fault that the virus is here, but he shoulders blame for the slow response, lack of preparedness, and overall lack of leadership.  We don't have control as to whether the wet markets in China are closed down.  We do have control regarding who will be president come 2021.

    He is not prioritizing the federal govt resources in emergency assistance for medical supplies and ventilators, and seemed indifferent about price gouging. Yesterday. 

    Why are we not talking about the 25th amendment?

    Ignoring the source is really dumb. Using a pandemic to spread your cause, really ignorant.

    And plenty of time once this is done.

    But certainly China is to blame for lighting the match. And trump admin is to blame for watching it burn.

    Lers, why would the 25th amendment be used in this case?

    During elections and at other times, republicans make fun of regulations. They and their voters tout making stuff “cheap in China.” This is not the first disease that China has gifted the world. How cheap is all that Chinese product now?

    this election needs to put that entire thought process on trial. Regulations are not funny. Poor regulations can kill millions. 

    Buying stuff cheap from China? Sometimes we get what we pay for.

    Cmon sc... that’s really not necessary-

    “sometimes raw fruits and vegetables contain harmful germs that can make you and your family sick, such as Salmonella , E. coli, and Listeria, CDC estimates that germs on fresh produce cause a large percentage of U.S. foodborne illnesses.”

    "It's an extraordinary situation," says Helena Olsson, program commissioner for News and Society at SVT to Expressen.

    - Power holders are usually in situations where it is possible to question, check facts and comment on what is being said. This is an exception to the formats we usually work with in journalism with politicians and other authorities, says Helena Olsson.

    The last SVT sent speech to the nation was in 2003 when Foreign Minister Anna Lindh had been assassinated. Then Göran Persson spoke from his service room in Rosenbad.

    Truth is truth. 

    And it is not about me not putting blame on China, just read the last page on that topic. 

    Seeing the bigger picture is still valid. 

    But maybe only morons are able to do so.

    Absolutely, I’m not saying blame shouldn’t be assigned, I’m saying it’s as divisive and distractionary regardless of who is blamed. There’s a better time for it and it’s not changing minds.
