Hey @skinny123 - I'm surprised you guys haven't started building your own wall already to keep us dim-witted Americans out. Gotta protect those cheaper pill supplies and prices too.
This is an international crisis, the whole world should come together and work toward solutions. No time for isolationist ideologies from the WH. Besides the 2.5% death rate, a big global economic slowdown would wipe out millions of jobs.

Duff........I love it when Americans come to Vancouver.......they spend their REAL Money........lol......and I on the other hand love going South too Washington State and Oregon.........SPECTACULAR Drive down the Coast.
2 deaths and 89 reported cases in the U.S. as of this morning. Key word is "reported" cases though. I'm guessing much higher than being reported and the same worldwide.
From earlier in this thread: I've been thinking about how 98% of people admitted going to work sick. I would like to point out that many people still make their kids go to school/daycare as they would rather not have to burn a vacation day to stay at home to watch their sick kids. I can say that almost everyone has done this at least once, myself included. Kind makes you wonder if schools will be a major "breeding ground" for the virus. Assuming this gets a whole lot worse, I'm wondering if local schools/universities will be shutting down and for how long? This could really throw a whole lot of people's lives in disarray when it comes to having to make up those lost school days. Here in our school district, they only get 5 "snow days" each year.
It will hit every state eventually, it takes 14 days from the time of infection for the symptoms to appear. Afraid of the unknown is what causes the public to panic. When people are too afraid to go out shopping, dining, travelling, then an obvious recession will be on the way. It could take a year to develop a vaccination, and they're not sure if it'll be in the hands of profit hungry drug compamies setting the price. Until they figure out what's going on, and new cases stop growing, you won't be able to control public sentiment.
Yes, but don't they shoot anybody there for just about any reason? Hope Trump doesn't take a page from Kim Jong Un's playbook and start lining people up in front of the new wall and having them shot if they have the virus. Doesn't that just bring an Iron Curtain or East/West Germany vibe to mind? And all for the sake of public safety and national security............. Might make for another good Sci-Fi/Dystopian Future novel.
NK isn't set up for a pandemic, they'll just resort to killing anyone infected. He's already blaming it on South Korea, saying that they're spreading their evil. Andrew Cuomo is getting proactive in NY State. He wants to have 1000 tests daily.
In Lithuania a woman came home after meeting with a chinese lady that just flew in. Her husband ended up locking her in the bathroom until doctors arrived to test her.
Wow, this shit is getting real out west. Six now dead in Washington State. 48 schools have been closed for cleaning
More than 100 cases in the U.S. now. Oh, how I yearn for those halcyon days (of last week) when Trump, in his presser, said “the 15 [known cases at that time], within a couple of days, is going to be down to close to zero. That’s a pretty good job we’ve done.”
Well, if you look at the number 100, there are more zeroes than ones. So, it rounds to zero. Crisis averted.
