    Today the 19th, the US has more than 11 000 cases (with still a really low number of testing) compared to the 7375 for Italy at the same time. The rate of contamination is following the same trend. Fortunately, so far the number of deaths is not.

    This is how the world ends my friends. Gather your loved ones tight and enjoy the time we have left

    I think that Sanders is too far on the left. I believe in a public healthcare and education system for anybody to have access to without going into bankruptcy if they are sick or if they want an education (my in-laws are americans and they have both situations). I think that having the most educated and healthy population is more important than to have one trillion dollar defense budget.

    Saying that, I'm not a socialist, I think that my country is way too far on the left. If you think that Obama was a socialist, you should come to France. I think that small businesses should be helped as much as possible, I think that self-employed people and small business owners are the heart of a nation. I have no problem helping those people and them making a lot of money as a result of their hard work.

    But I believe that giant corporations should not be given any handouts and shouldn't be allowed to do some fiscal optimization. If Apple doesn't want to pay taxes in the US and wants to pay them in the Caiman island for example, then they should move their headquarter there and do their business there without having access to the US market. It is not normal that these corporations use the infrastructure and protection that our countries have to offer without financing them.

    I believe that capitalism will collapse if the wealth is not distributed better. Capitalism only works if people buy good and services. Even though you might think that you pay a lot of taxes and your government spends a lot of money, the US is one of the countries with the lowest public spending (~35% of GDP) and one of the lowest tax system in the world so hard to blame your difficulties on those.

    Even though I criticize the Republicans , I really love your country. I lived there for a long time as a scientist (yes I do really have a PhD), my wife and in-laws are Americans. I just don't believe that the direction is going right now is the right one.
    Actually i have the opposite opinion. Most countries are not left enough and Sanders only wants the US to be, were most Europeans already are, dont see anything radical with it. (Note: Right now every policy that is implented is socialism). Too much is sacrificed on the alter of "Profit". Does not mean everything has to be free, but when i look at scandinavian countries i am jealous... and i am already in a wealthy social democracy in Europe.

    We are going to lose a lot of good people and healthcare workers because of the ignorance and lack of morality of our government. They had been told earlier on it was an issue and ignored. We are paying that price now. With the economy, physicians, nurses, etc.

    They should all be locked away for the rest of there lives. People are dead because of there inaction and delay.

    China informed the World Health Organization about C19 two weeks after the first cases there. The US hard our first cases in Washington in January. Not containing it then is Trump's fault. Months later, we still don't have enough test kits only 150,613 tests have been performed so far. Weak.

    Did anyone see Trump's press conference yesterday? What a freak show.

    No China new way before and even lied to WHO even though Dr in China were saying the virus was rapidly spreading. So what did they do they shut down all press and the Dr who first came out saying that is DEAD

    His name was Li Wenliang and he was brought in by the Chinese security force and was forced to sign a do ent that said they were spreading lies about this virus. That man was a true HERO.

    China did its part as well, not saying they didnt. But the US government also screwed us hard and continue to do so.

    They should have come down harder much earlier. Stopped all international travel back in January. Started ramping us production of PPE and Ventilators in January at the minimum. I have too many friends and myself who are risking themselves for there inep ude.

    It’s funny you say that but when Trump did shut down China travel he got called a racist and got killed in the media for doing it. When he shut down all Europe travel he got trashed by all the European countries who now suddenly are doing the same thing he did “Who New Border Were So Important”?

    The states can do things they don’t need the Government for everything that’s why our founding fathers have the States so much power ie. California governor deciding to close everything down except essential personal so it’s not all on one person. Things will get worse but but not just in USA but everywhere except maybe Antarctica.

    I’d like you to provide quotes where anyone called him racist for stopping air travel to/from China. If people criticized him, it was for doing it SO ING LATE. He is a ing racist for intentionally switching terminology from covid19, which the administration had used for over two months, to the China virus, in an attempt to deflect blame from himself.

    The only good thing that might come out of this would be his ignominious defeat in November. His slow response likely will bump the death toll from 500k to 2M, mostly seniors...Fox News Watchers. He won in 2016 by only 100K votes spread over three key states.

    You Trump-humpers need to get over it already. B Clinton got on, GW Bush got on, Obama got ...now it's Trump. The president of the US getting on is the norm...your blind loyalty to Trump is why you get called cultist.

    https://nationalfile.com/flashback-b...as-xenophobia/
    While Democrats in March attack President Donald Trump for not doing enough to end the coronavirus epidemic, the same Democrats were bashing the president’s decision to ban travel from China in January.
    In January, President Trump banned all foreign nationals who were in China during the time of the coronavirus outbreak from entering the United States. Many pundits and health experts have since credited this decision with helping to slow the coronavirus pandemic on American shores.

    However, at the time former vice president Joe Biden railed against the decision.

    During a campaign rally, Biden said that “In moments like this, this is where the credibility of a president is most needed, as he explains what we should and should not do.”

    “This is no time for Donald Trump’s record of hysteria and xenophobia, hysterical xenophobia, to uh, and fear mongering,” Biden continued.
