China is a snake. I am not surprised they tried to downplay it. However, I can compartamentalize the various intertwined issues.

Yes, China sucks, has always sucked and will continue to suck and cannot be trusted.

Yes, it absolutely came from China and China downplayed it putting the entire planet at a higher risk.

Yes, we as americans can still criticize our government for the actions or inactions since they were put on notice.

Yes, there are some legit criticisms to be made.

I blame China up to January 23 or so. After that, we were on clear notice and we are responsible for our decisions made after that.

I can blame China for their part, and question my government for their part.



Criticizing trump does not equal sticking up for China. To take such a narrow view and then mandate everyone think or speak only in your terms and all others are "carrying Chinas water ..."

lol come on man.

thats such simpleton thinking. thats dumbing down this thing to a second grade level.

Here you go and recently completed in October 2019 by John Hopkins- an authority - 2019 Global Health Security Index

It will give the rankings and all the data about being prepared. Yes we are number 1

What this doesn’t help explain how bad actors covered this up for around 75 days before they communicated it properly to the rest of the world. It’s tough to prepare against that...Doesn’t explain how China in late January hoarded all the respirators on the market.

It was too late to stop before whatever your start date to start yelling at the President. How many sick Chinese traveled outside their country by January 1st while China sat back?

I’m still old enough to remember the criticism by the media when he cut off China and then Europe.

This thread is such an embarrassment to our collective intelligence.

Chico, we all literally blame China. Now what? Do we need to focus America's collective might on punishing China, and that will stop the virus?

Or do you need to postpone thinking up ways to punish China and stop the goddamn virus first?

Every time I wonder how low Trump can go he surprises me. From the "I don't take responsibility at all" to now forcing states to bid against each other and the feds for critical supplies, it literally boggles my mind how anyone can think he's doing a great job of managing this crisis.

...and then you post a trump meme about something he said years ago...

Mooby, first thing is have patience and expect testing numbers to go way up as well as cases. 2nd thing, can your fucking generation stop traveling? It’s amazing how the constant bitch about not affording things, yet want to travel all the time. Y’all are spreading this shit. I know gas is a 1.80, I know plane tickets are the lowest since the 80s...3rd, stay in the house and obey local government. It’s no wonder nyc is full of Coronavirus, they refuse to stay inside. My bro in law says no one gives a shit, city been packed. 4th, stop policing speech it’s not spreading the disease or stopping it.

Everyone gonna have to be uncomfortable, just settle in and ride it out. I’m glad you are blaming China, their negligence have cost lives in a way that it’s like an act of war. Just think of all the sick people they exported. Italy has traced patient zero to a Chinese couple traveling...my sister’s nanny up in Connecticut is from a town in Northern Italy, her parents’ longtime neighbor died Sunday...early fifties. China has blood on their hands across the world.

Have you ever been there or close? I only did it once, but it has to be hands down the most crowded area in the USA. Commuting around that area is insane. I could not believe driving down Long Island, you had areas that had that small town look, but people we packed in like sardines in a can. I could not image living like that at any cost, and it is as expensive as hell.

I'm spoiled on the west coast, but I went there in 2007 in August. I was not prepared. It was so fucking humid. I was walking around downtown New York City in a wifebeater. And it was so damn humid I didn't care.

There are a shit ton of people there. You have to have a certain mindset to be able to live there (if you weren't raised there). I definitely don't have it.

I'm originally from the bay area, and San Francisco is a mini NYC. I could never live there. To me its insane, but people there seem to love it.

It takes all kinds I guess.

When I lived in Riverside I probably made a trip to San Fran every one to two years from 1996-2010 (When I moved East). I know the locals make fun of the tourists that hit the pier 39 area, but I always liked The Saloon and that museum full of old arcade games that you can still play. Of course who doesn't like all those obnoxious seals on the docks and those old boats.
It may be crowded, but nothing like the NYC area. The NYC area had me saying FTS, never again.

Probably 15 trips to the city. My sister lived in the upper east side and had a good friend in college who lived in Bergen county nj. I was always up there

I lived out side of NYC(Essex County NJ) most of my life till I married then moved to Maryland in 1980 but the family is still all up there. Father worked downtown and we would go into see him once in a while and I hated it. I can get you around town but I get lost in the Subway system up there. We would take the train from town into the city to see the Knicks or Rangers back in the mid 70's .Last time in the city was after 9/11 we had friends come over from England and we took them to NYC and showed them around .You're right about it being backed but back when I was growing up on Sundays and most weekends Wall Street was so empty you could throw a rock and not hit a soul.

I did stop traveling FYI, I had a trip booked for tomorrow-Sunday that's cancelled now. Still have my Vegas-Cali trip flight tickets booked for June but obviously that's going to be cancelled too unless the virus goes away.

In the meantime I agree, but don't be so narrow and blame millenials. We're in our 30's now, and it seems a lot of these idiots going out and partying/etc. are in their 20's. Different generation, obviously not concerned a bit about the virus.

I thought you were younger mooby...damn my bad. Well they are still traveling tho. They are fucking up big time. Anybody traveling is a per asshole and should not be complaining about one fucking thing and should shut the fuck up.


My brother in-law...long time New Yorker and works in the mid town...blaiso fucked up everything, the kids were still in school 10 days ago. People def weren’t social distancing over the weekend. Yes time square is empty...that’s for camera shots only to make it appear to rest of country. But folks still interacting and acting completely irresponsible...all ages, races and ethnicities. It’s a disgrace. 5 of his traders all in their 30s tested positive last Friday. Why? Cause they are fucking retards. After this is over, they all well be fired and/or let go.
