    Actually no, what I've seen lefty news media bitch about most, and I agree with them, is that Trump had at least a month head start to ramp up production of surgical masks, PPE, ventilators, tests etc... The US had some time to prepare, Asia and Europe didn't but we still fukked up bigly.

    I'm not too hard on Trump in regards to when he closed the border with China, by then it was too late and it's mostly China's fault for not being upfront about how contagious this virus was, also they tried to suppress information about the outbreak meanwhile hundreds of thousands of Chinese and foreigners were traveling in and out of Wuhan.

    Trump was busy downplaying this threat instead of taking steps to lessen the blow, that is on him, despite being warned by advisors and intelligence officers...he has been consistently slow in his response and it should be held against him. The South Koreans were aggressive in their response, focusing on testing people to separate the infected from those who aren't and they look to be past the worst of it, we still got some brutal days ahead of us.

    A doctor friend of mine said he's going to write a book about Liberals and how their brain function is vastly different and more psychotic than rational thinking human beings. He says he has studies done. Studies that show that Liberals tend to lash out in anger and self-defense instead of taking the time to process the world around them.

    If this report is true, can someone care to explain how the following is not true:

    The main fear of this virus is/was how fast it spreads, so if it's been about since late November and was allowed to spread without any social distancing or travel bans for about 2 months, then we have to be pretty close on this to be over and general population immunity kick in.

    I would look forward to reading this. I believe he's accurate because in my opinion the most wild eyed liberals are the elite in society, particularly those whose wealth comes easy, and the poor who can't provide for themselves and carry a sense of victimhood with them like a backpack. These also happen to be the 2 groups most prone to mental illness. Folks in the middle have much less mental illness in their ranks. I'm not saying everyone on the left or who votes Democrat is mentally I'll though but those that do are usually lured to that side by a carrot on the stick by the leftist elites. E.g. immigration with latinos, entitlements with blacks, etc.

    I would love to see a study involving mental illness, and/or those who rely on anti-depressants among white Republicans and white Democrats.

    don't kid yourselves. conservatives have just as many problems with themselves as liberals do. it's just different strokes for different folks. different environments, upbringings and ways of living result in a different set of shortcomings.

    besides, you can't paint people with such a broad brush. a lot of the stereotypical things you hear about either side represent a small minority of it. that's why they say twitter isn't real life. tell me how many people that you interact with on a day to day basis represent any of the craziness you read about on reddit or youtube comments, or even here. if you tell me otherwise, then you should probably think about stepping out of your bubble.

    You mean like AOC and Ilhan Omar? They basically represent leftist youtube comments.

    Bernie Sanders would've been extremely fringe not that long ago. Not anymore.

    but they represent just a tiny part of the house.

    as far as sanders, i've personally talked to quite a few people that don't want anything to do with socialism but support sanders because they believe he's fighting for them - the little guy/joe six pack, etc. but, to your point i suppose u could say that sanders has really mobilized the far left - young people 18-25ish. but they don't make up anywhere near the majority of democrats across the country. to add to that, they just don't vote lol.

    Yet no country took action until February

    Almost if they knew this was coming and deliberately let it happen

    Yes it's a f*cking hoax, this virus has been floating around since December/January and people weren't drooping down like flies.

    It's been exposed by so many people that they're are deliberately inflating the actual death numbers. It baffles me how many mindless bots on here who are buying into the fear mongering from the media and failing to see what is really going on
