The Coronavirus, not the beer

If Trump was hesitant to shut down the economy over corona, what makes you think he would end trade with the ccp and hurt the economy probably 5x as bad.

Its phased. Move manufacturing elsewhere. 18 month runway.

It's all about consumer sentiment though. That'll drive it all.

Good luck asking consumers to spend a few dollars more just to stick it to China.

A few cents, people already do that now.

I've been blown away by the amount of people begging the government to cause them financial harm, so nothing would surprise me

I think understanding this pandemic is a different situation that requires restraint, compared to telling consumers to spend a few extra dollars to stick it to China... maybe MAGA types like thethe would do it. Don't think the average person would do it enough to make a difference.

So we should just leave it at the status quo and wait for the CCP to **** the world again.

This is why a new party is forming.

I mean, didn't say we want status quo. But you're asking the entire world minus russia, china, and north korea to form an economic coalition excluding China... they have a billion people and some nukes. They aren't just gonna go to sleep quietly.

So what does a response to them look like?

If your conspiracy theories are true about them using covid 19 as a biological weapon, and they had no issue using it on their own people, then i really have a hard time seeing how they would have any issue staging a larger attack.

Under this paradigm we should be attacking them now because it's only a matter of time before they do something worse unprovoked

I'm sure Trump has been playing 8D chess with them since this thing started.

Inflate our casualties to get their guard down then attack.

[nsacpi]

we will need to implement a plan for testing and contact tracing as part of any re-opening up

Some would argue this " whole thing started " in 2016 with confrontational rhetoric aimed at China.
Chest pounding and saber rattling diplomacy is for idiots.,
Or what pundits call " red meat for the base"
Base indeed
Unfortunately to a segment of our society, that translates into a woody.

China is not a rogue group of outlaws from Central America.
People tried to tell him.

I dont buy the conspiracy theory. but you know ... it borders on insane the idea of a Larry King clone with daddy issues taking on one of the oldest society/cultures on the planet

You should really retire from forum punditry. Your takes are really just soo awful. The confusion in your wording, when you actually create your own sentences, is palpable. I mean it's almost as if you may potentially have a mustard seed of a feasable point, but it really all just dissolves into inane two-bit insults by the end. And that's just when you're not full-on regurgitating other peoples thoughts. Which is generally your strong point. Not interpreting them. Simply the activity of cutting and pasting. You seem to be quite adequate at that.

Also you sound like a typical domestic abuse victim's unsupporting friend. "See, I told you you shouldn't have stood up for yourself. Now it's just 100 times worse for you."

I'm just kidding. You're great.

[MrShwag]

How many of you dem ass clowns got a "woody" when Cuck Schumer went on national TV and threatened that our Intelligence Agencies have "6 ways to Sunday" of getting back at the President of the United States. "Red meat for the base"? Yay, that's the kind of country I want to live in!

[goldfly]

These are no longer covid briefings

Networks should stop showing them


If he wants to hold a rally

He and his cult that think this is a hoax should go shake hands and hug out all this bull****

Legitimately have no idea what you are talking about

But I always love the fake outrage of a lack of decorum from republicans when Democrats fight fire with fire though.

I for one always look forward to your insights

Does state media and the others liars not know their base?

I was doing some math earlier today trying to figure out how many people in the US are or have actually been infected. I based my number on a couple of points. First, I noticed that the percent of 0-19 year olds in my state that have tested positive is incredibly low (1%). To me this shows that kids either have very mild symptoms or no symptoms at all. In other words there are a ton of unknown positives out there. Not sure if this is true for every area, but I think it is true in most locations with mediocre testing capabilities. The second is looking at countries that have tested a large percentage of their population. I looked at their case fatality rates and extrapolated that to the US. Just based off this very basic analysis, I found that the actual cases in the US may be about 8 times higher than our current number actually suggests, or about 1% of the US population is or has been infected.
