Coronavirus in California...I guarantee trump will do NOTHING as it gets worse...

He'll enjoy every minute of it.

I was in Orange County, California all day yesterday, where they just reported a case of coronavirus. And I was in a city known for Vietnamese population, not Chinese. I've been expecting it but I think it may really explode where I live and work, in the San Gabriel Valley.

I work in the legal/justice field, I track down people for the Superior Court, US District Court, and Los Angeles County Sheriff. My territory includes at least SEVEN of the top 10 California cities with the largest Asian populations. I'm talking over 60% Asian in those cities, and by far the most people are from Hong Kong, Taiwan and mainland China. Gotta be half a million people at least.

I know from many years of experience that there is a constant flow to and from China from here, it's part of life for them and a HUGE part of doing business. The number 1 response that I get when trying to find a defendant who isn't around is "he/she went to China, back in a month".

So there has to be a LOT of people in China right now who will be heading back. I'm not an epidemiologist but I don't think it's hard to guess that some/a lot of them are going to have the virus. Anecdotally, just in the last week in my territory, I have seen lots and lots of folks wearing masks on their faces, something that is actually very rare to see usually. Yesterday it seemed like every 3rd driver in traffic had a mask on.

My point? If an epidemic hits here, trump will NEVER send help, no extra medical personnel, no CDC teams, no emergency funding, NOTHING, he'll just consider every death a well-deserved revenge on a state that overwhelmingly rejects him. We're gonna be on our own.
And me? I'm about to go out and work right now (it's a 6 or 7 days a week job) and I just checked my suspect list and it's 75% Asian names. I served several summonses on Friday at a large hospital in the richest and almost largest Chinese community, and they had boxes of face masks everywhere, free, I'm not ashamed to say I grabbed a couple for myself. I have to go into these homes sometimes, touch doors and door bells and gates and sometimes shake hands, hold face to face conversations, etc. Am I just being paranoid?

And PLEASE, to those who love to report posts, this IS NOT A RACIST POST. It's just a factual account of where I live and work. I don't have any bias here, I just have a long simmering disgust with the Preznint, beginning long long ago when I lived in Manhattan and had to endure bullshit about him in the papers every day.
