Because the virus is just so freaking harmless, right?
I would hate to contract a serious illness in VA, lest the governor of the state try to have me aborted.
How about protecting the rest of the healthy Americans by disclosing useful information about this patient without fully doxxing them.
Thank you for sharing this info.
I am supposed to go visit a fairly densely populated area this weekend. I live out in the boonies and am starting to think that I should just stay right where I am at. Put that home delivery to good use.
There are no reports of any illness around here, but the incubation time and the reports of being contagious during that time are starting to worry me, especially since the area I intend to visit gets a lot of traffic from around the world.
We now know the virus is contageous prior to symptoms appearing. I don't think we know how many days though. I've heard 5 days. Flu is one day. The Chinese health minister seemed to indicate 1 to 14 days.
That means people could be coming into the Us, without symptoms and we won't know it for another week. And THEN, the people they flue with may be coming down sick one to two weeks from now. So we could already have massive numbers of cases in the US, that have not started to show symptoms yet.
Just our normal thing no worries I should go get a new tinfoil hat at Walmart. Oh yes just a normal thing coming out of China they always have viruses every year. No there’s nothing different about this one.
Epidemics are another example of why we should have high protective tariffs, and we should strive to have domestic production capablility in most industries.
I’ve read we’ve outsourced most of our anti-biotic production to China. Taiwan just banned the export of N-95 masks for fear that they may need them domestically.
If you’re China are you going to export anti-biotics when your own people are sick???
George Washington warned us not to become too entangled with foreign governments. Economic entanglement is dangerous.
I’m not opposing all trade. But every country should strive to provide the necessities for itself. That includes and production of enough food, medicines, clothes, shelter, and anything that the military needs.
Because the day may come when you are cut off. Maybe because of war. Maybe because of a pandemic. Maybe just politics or greed.
If I were a Virginian with Coronavirus I would head directly to the capitol and lick doorknobs....just saying....
Liberals say, “Never let a crises go to waste”
I expect an attempt to shut down Trumps upcoming rally in Wildwood NJ. I would not put it past the uber Liberal Gov attempt to curtail large gatherings in the interest of protecting the citizens of NJ from the deadly virus.
The rally has 100,000 requests for tickets and promises to be a huge event in a very, very liberal State, something the Democrats definitely do not want.
We shall see.
How did it get to Virginia? Who investigates how the disease is transported? It could just be travelers from infected areas, but it could also be terrorists.
I’ve read that the virus can be taken in via your eyes.
Now if cleanliness didn't cost anything then China would be as clean as Switzerland.
Good luck getting any information out of those democrats in VA.
The left will protect the Chicoms even if this thing spreads rapidly through America.
All those State department employees that are being shuttled from Mainland China go where? Washington, D.C.? Pretty obvious in my humble opinion.
A whole bunch of Chinese cultural exchange people came into Fairfax County (Northern Virginia). They were from a region very close to the outbreak. They claimed 170 miles but I am sure it was really a lot closer. They were to meet grade school kids, but the parents put the kibosh on that. Then the dems were going to tour the Chinese around DC. Someone got a clue and sent them back to China.
Add to that a few potential carriers went through the Chicago airport. The gateway to everywhere.
Two Chinese bioweapon sites in the infected region. Did an employee accidently take his work home with him?
Why does this not surprise me?
Carry me out of old Virginny
