    Why isn’t Bernie campaigning to open the US back up to business as usual with a few minor restrictions like his brethren nation?

    Listening to an intensive care doctor now on the news talking about working with people with the virus. Scary, scary stuff.

    She says she is mostly surprised by how many young people, with no underlying diseases that are being hit hard by the virus and is in need of intensive care. She believes Swedes must take a further step in social distancing. 

    Funny picture of interviewing in the times of social distancing:

    Hey! Remember when I made fun of the SEIU a bunch of pages ago for "finding" a distributor with 39 million masks. Guess what? None of them showed up. Kaiser tried to verify and inspect the masks before the distributor finally admitted they didn't have possession of them. Now there's a federal fraud investigation. Unreal.

    The fraudsters and grifters are coming out of the woodwork for this one.

    Immunity?  Has it been proven that anyone is immune? Herd immunity is a theory. Immune,  I hope, but I also want proof. Show me infected people coughing and sneezing and touching others with no protection with no effects. 
    The swede in you should give you a little more faith in science. 

    In what way is herd immunity a theory by the way?
    If you want to talk science: It has not been proven scientifically that humans develop immunity to SARS-CoV-2. It is merely assumed that they will, and that the presence of antibodies indicates a recovered person with immunity. And immunity could present its own dangers. Antibodies to respiratory disease drop off with time. Coronaviruses can also undergo ADE.

    TORONTO -- The premier of a Canadian province that sheltered thousands of stranded American airline passengers after the 9/11 attacks questioned the humanity of U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday after Trump banned the export of N95 protective masks to Canada.
    The conservative leader of another province compared it to one family member feasting while letting another one starve. And yet another premier said it reminded him of 1939 and 1940, when Canada was part of the fight against global fascism while the United States sat out the first years.
    Canadians across the country expressed hurt and disappointment that their neighbor and longstanding ally is blocking shipments of the masks from the United States to ensure they are available in the U.S. during the coronavirus pandemic. Canadian health care workers — like those in the U.S. — are in dire need of the masks that provide more protection against the virus that causes COVID-19.
    Newfoundland Premier Dwight Ball said one of the great lessons in humanity is that in times of crisis you don’t stop being human.

    "This is the first global crisis in the post-America world, when we don't have any american leadership. We had the ebola outbreak in 2014-2015 - with a strong american leadership facing that crisis. The US was important, to mobilise and to call on meetings in the UN Security Council. Now all that is history."

    It was all there for them to put in place plans of combating the virus! I’m not saying all of the casualties could’ve been prevented but out of the 10,000 that have perished a lot of lives could of been saved...

    There is plenty of leadership from approx 44 of both republican and Democratic governors.

    How much power did they have to act on the behalf of the US on the world scene during e.g. the Ebola outbreak? Haven't seen many governors rocking meetings at the UN Security Council. Or taking a leadership position in an international coalition to stop a humanitarian crisis, in e.g. West Africa. But could be wrong.

    I haven't seen any reliable reports as such yet.  I surely hope it is not a recurring virus!

    I just find your post so hypocritical.  You defend your country's bad decisions blindly.  You actually poked fun at my home state where people are dying left and right.  
    Why is it that you can make a jab at my government for not getting involved with West Africa (seriously that was your rebuttal) but it is ok for your country to do whatever the fuck it wants when it comes to covid 19?  
    Like I said, there is plenty of leadership to go around except for states like TN, Wyoming, Utah, etc.  Washington's governor did an awesome job.  Where I live, the combined states CT, NY and NJ all responded well and in a timely manner.  Seems like your country for whatever reason has something to prove but in the end it could potentially kill a lot of people.
