WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyes: For the moment we are not witnessing the uncontained global spread of this virus and we are not witnessing large-scale deaths... [countries should be] doing everything we can to prepare for a potential pandemic.
And you know who will be worse hit... old people, those with underlying health conditions and those with limited access to robust healthcare... Trump and the idiots that surround him have not one clue how to handle this if it becomes a pandemic. Do you think they will think he is the next best thing to the second coming when they lie struggling for breath in shitty isolation? They have systematically abolished the support systems that everyone would expect during a crisis... and people only notice this kind of shit when it is suddenly needed. Now I truly hope that the virus does not take hold anywhere in America, of course I do, but if it does... yelp.

(6,207 posts)...potential poor uninsured Democratic voters away from the polls is a program success.
I know that is a possibility because I actually mulled it over in my mind before going to the polls on 02/18/2020.
Reason won out and I went out and voted. But we live in a small community of about 8000 residence. With few, if any international travelers.
