The WHO has declared a global health emergency on account of the corona virus.

Not going anywhere.

A bunch of people being trampled to death at one of their concerts was indeed tragic, but I don't know how that makes them experts on virology.

Boy did I read this at the wrong time. I just got done reading accounts from this lady in SF who runs a huge rescue for Pugs. She's stuck over there with Pugs to bring back to the US for adoption because she can't fly the first 5 (out of 100) out of the country due to flights being cancelled. If she's unsuccessful in finding private air transport back the states the 100 Pugs will go to the markets to be slaughtered and eaten where all this crap started.

I dunno, call it a bad mood.

None of this is funny. Over 6K people have died in China, it's spreading around the globe and you're making jokes.

They need to shut down the wet markets over there **forever.*** People are dying from these unsanitary practices and the living are spreading it around the world.

Damn it.

You're right. You're right. You're right.

Sorry, I was ticked off when I wrote the above and that was actually 6K reported cases in China. Not deaths.

Apparently it's now over 9K reported cases.

I'm kind of surprised Trump isn't blaming Mexico for the coronavirus.

They send their rapists, the criminals... and their virus beer. Someone's gotta stop them!

If the coronavirus originated in the U.S., Trump would probably just try to deny its very existence.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

I'm surprised he isn't blaming China for the coronavirus. Oh wait. I'm not. He's promoting the end of the trade war with China, isn't he.

Doesn't suit his agenda to criticize what he might otherwise refer to as a shithole country.

It is so frightening at the rate this is growing.
