[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I literally can’t believe the ding dongs citing China.  The govt there has the media on lockdown, so, yes, they can propagate any fantasy they want.  This virus was circulating for months unchecked there...if you believe their death toll/infection numbers, you are honestly to stupid to function.  Their “lockdown” was theater done to convince the rest of the world that they were controlling it.  If their current numbers are true (pretty big if), it’s because the virus ripped through their country uncontrolled.

Right? I cannot believe how many people on here say we should be like China. Than we would live in an authoritarian regime and STILL see millions die of COVID. People actually think that China doesn't have thousands upon thousands of people dying from this every day? They do. [/quote]

You guys can believe whatever you want to believe, but the thing is, people in China are having a normal life now. I recently chatted with a few friends live there and they all told me things are almost back to normal. The government is very serious about this virus and treat it not lighthearted at all.[/quote]

Amen sister. They did not play. Well in the beginning when they didn’t tell a soul even their own people because it would dishonor the new year celebration [/quote]
Whatever they did at the beginning, when the shit truly hit the fan, they locked everybody up in their tiny apartments for two months, and everybody complied. That's what it means to treat the virus seriously, regardless of ideological tenets.

In this wonderful country, Trump kept gaslighting everyone for months, while local governors screwed the pooch with different degree of intensity and red-blooded 'Murcans hit the beach like there's no tomorrow. Because freedoms! Because business! Because gubmint is overreaching!
Pathetic.

I am no fan of trump but considering half of the people on this thread will refuse to quarantine and probably didn't fully quarantine the first time, blaming him is useless.  If he had mandatory shut downs weeks earlier, you would have found blame in that.  If he waited, there would have been blame in that.  The reality is that disaster services are decided on and supported at the state and local level and what Trump says and does has little influence on the outcome of state or local policy.  Blame your governor or mayor first, then maybe Trump.[/quote]
