    Police told one of the first doctors in China to not talk about it. And I’m the dumb one for being upset about that?  And that makes me a trump lover? I really don’t get the logic here sometimes.

    Sounds like something Trump would have enforced...

    Please note, this is not directed to anyone in particular.

    The world is dealing with a challenge that hasn't existed before in our lifetime. There isn't one 'correct' way to cope, everyone handles adversity in his or her own way. Please remember many people are at home by themselves, maybe they haven't physically seen another person in a few weeks, maybe they live in an apartment building that has little to no access to the outdoors, maybe their entire lifestyle has been temporarily halted, maybe their loved one or friend passed away. 

    Try to have a little compassion and understanding for each other. 
    Thank you.

    China was still silencing doctors as late as January. They were threatening them with jail time for spreading false rumors in January. When China finally admitted the outbreak in mid January they were not allowing outside health officials to investigate and telling everyone it could not be transmitted human to human. 
    I’m not saying this administration did everything right, but they didn’t have since December.  Mid Januarary at the earliest.

    But blaming trump will save lives? I just don’t get the anger towards trump but this free pass to China. It’s okay to be upset and blame both!

    Trump dragged his feet & downplayed this for 60 days to protect his own self interests, chief among them, his re-election. 

    Blame China all you want, and call this virus whatever you want, but his self preservation in the end will almost certainly cost American lives that could have been spared had he listened to the US intelligence community instead of Fox News & taken the warnings more seriously. 

    If you’re an American, and you’re not pissed at our rudderless government right now, you’re not paying enough attention.

    Agreed. And the idiots buying four thousand rolls of toilet paper. And the morons who still aren’t practicing social distancing.  Lots of blame and anger to go around.  
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    Trump now - VERY ESSENTIAL TO PEOPLE SURVIVING OR DYING

    Same as it’s essential for Trump to contribute to the recovery of the US, China owes it to the rest of the world for their fuckup.

    No I’m blaming the Baffoon for the state we are in again his administration knew about this since December January! This administration failed miserably and here we are, if the hospital me & son work at daily runs out of protective equipment should I go around barking that China is to blame for this country not being prepared with enough inventory? You wanna do something about it let’s do it let’s all throw our Chinese made products in the garbage boycot anything made there let’s see what we would have left in our homes..
