    China botched the outbreak for sure, what's the lack of transparency you're referring to and how did that contribute to western governments failing?
    Fox News is desperately spinning "it's China's fault". Being cooped up with my dad, I get to watch more of it than I would normally. Expect Darrins of the world to be regurgitating the party line a lot. You will see more things on how the Chinese are doing bad things. The "China virus" or "Wuhan virus" messaging is their usual attempt to control the narrative, by controlling the terms of the debate. "abortion kills babies" (it doesn't), rich people are "job creators" (they aren't), the estate tax is a "Death Tax" (it isn't)

    It is funny to watch Fox news and then see how long it takes for CosmicCowboy, Darrin, and the like to pick up the threads...

    Boiled down, extreme distancing is wrecking our economy because we couldn't establish wise-scale testing fast enough to do effective tracking and containment.

    Millions will lose work, millions more will get sick, and tens of thousands will die, because our government prioritized DJT's reelection over our health and safety.

    Yeah, Trump is already hinting at how he'll spin this disaster to use as fodder during his reelection bid. "See, I was right about tight borders all along! When you let those dirty foreigners freely come into our country, they bring disease like the 'Chinese Virus.' "

    More fake talking points from the forums resident little
    It's a simple concept that you suddenly don't want to have any stake in.

    Meaningless prattle. I'm sure you think you're profound, but everyone sees you for the little you are.

    Around the time that the United States had tested 11,000 people total, South Korea was testing 10,000 a day. By March 4, according to Eric Topol, the South Koreans were testing 18,000 people a day. The population over there is around 51 million. In the United States, it's 327 million. We're now at 125 tests for every million Americans, which places the U.S. behind Greece and the Czech Republic. Again: the U.S. and South Korea ran into this problem at almost exactly the same time. This is not a pretty picture for the administration run by one Donald J. Trump, who spent the lion's share of that eight-week period downplaying the threat, musing the virus could disappear miraculously, suggesting people were going to work after contracting the virus and it was no big deal, and continually declaring we were on the cusp of having a vaccine available to the public.

    None of this was true, and none of it was helpful, and none of it was the kind of thing coming out of governments—like South Korea's, or Hong Kong's, or Singapore's—that have managed this crisis well. While the picture is still a bit murky, it looks like Trump's best move may have shutting down travel from China early, which theoretically bought the U.S. some time to roll out the best preparatory regime possible. Instead of test kits and ventilators and masks, however, we manufactured bull . Less than a week ago, Trumpworld would not commit to cancelling future rallies—exactly the kind of large gathering public health experts had been saying should be called off.

    Look how easily you lash out.

    I don't have to be profound when you run like you're running for your life rather than say where you stand on the matter.

    I've seen you intermittently crying about this stuff for a few years now.

    Don't lash out that you're not very quotable.

    Also, I'm not the running. I'm straight-up pressing you on the subject of the thread, and you got nothing.

    The Coronavirus Calls for Wartime Economic Thinking


    “It’s going to be catastrophic,” Shepherdson said bluntly. “This is an economy built on discretionary consumption.”

    This will result in a sharp rise in unemployment and in negative G.D.P. growth—in other words, a recession.

    “The U.S. economy is shrinking as we speak—I have no doubt at all about that,”

    some Wall Street economists suggested that the G.D.P. could fall at an annualized rate of five per cent in the second quarter of this year.

    Shepherdson believes the downturn could be even more severe than that, with the G.D.P. contracting at a rate of about ten per cent.

    a substantial stimulus package

    “I am in the one-trillion-to-two-trillion-dollar camp, preferably by dinner time,”

    “I think they should be just throwing money at people and businesses that are in the front line.

    Cash has to be given out to households.

    Cash has to be given out to small businesses.

    Cash has to be given out to gig workers.

    I don’t know what the figures are for Uber drivers, but they are probably catastrophic.”

    No talking point. I've asked you what you think government's exact role should be in this stuff, and you've ran like "a little ."

    It's cool though. You do you.

    Nope.

    I thought the government was supposed to take care of you?
    Government's not supposed to take care of you?
    But you'll be whining about how they're not coddling you enough once the 'pandemic' is over.
    You don't trust the government to take care of you.
    Do you trust the government to take care of you or not?
    And so on.

    You've been pushing the same ty talking point about the government "taking care of" or "coddling" me. If you want to know my thoughts on what the government should be doing, I'm happy to have that conversation. But I don't think you do because you wanna push a talking point. Because you're a little .

    There's no need to push anything at this point. You've shown that you're a shrinking betty with no backbone.

    So, a bunch of hospitality industry folks are now forbidden from working, are their landlords forbidden from charging them rent?

    If not, why not?

    Assuming there are no force majeure clauses in their leases (which likely is the case), there's the practical consideration that a jury is likely going to nullify the tenant's liability, which means landlord's aren't going to pay lawyers hourly to prosecute claims that have no chance of success.
