    Yeah, maybe Bernie will throw some socialist funding their way.

    Psst , ask the farmers how they like their socialist subsidies since the trade war began. And for your information, Bernie isn't president and never will be. You do know who the the president is correct?

    Sorry for the sarcasm, all apologies.

    That wasn't a warning. It was a friendly reminder. As far as I am concerned, you can post whatever you want. Ain't my forum...

    I think the scariest part of this is the medicines we need to combat this bug are all coming from China, and their state run media is making the threat that they will stop sending them here. Thus the real question... Why is all of our capacity to manufacture antibiotics sourced to a country that places so little value on human life, and how did it get to be that way?

    We are to deeply tied to China, and if we have learned anything from this virus, we will fix that little problem ASAP.

    Good question for our corporate elite. Whom by the way own our government.

    Most these drugs and ingredients referred to are generics. All these have moved offshore as the profit margins are not there.

    It's just not medicine either, we've become way too dependent on China for numerous things in our supply chain. Mostly because of the cheap labor that enables them to undercut everyone else. Makes us look like big fat hypocrites huh.

    Either bring the important stuff back home, or at the very least spread it out to other countries so we can't be held hostage. That's called not keeping all your eggs in one basket, a lesson learned long ago and needs to be re-taught today.

    Add Canada to the list of folks with an isolated agent.

    Additionally, there's now 2 strains identified of COVID-19. The main Wuhan one which is most prevalent and virtually all the cases in China and then a 2nd one with enough mutations that it's already showing reduced aggressiveness and subsequently less severe symptoms.

    Looks like we are going with the Stafford Act. Cutting the red tape and all out war on this virus.

    Also, Trump is going to declare a federal state of emergency at 3pm today to invoke the Stafford Act. The main reason being is that the Stafford Act allows the federal government to circumvent a good deal of roadblocks and red tape to get relief funds and supplies in the hands of state and local authorities faster so they combat the emergency faster.

    That's a good thing.

    This scares me far more than Wuhan virus...

    I think you are incorrect. You should know as a military man that Pearl Harbor after the Japanese attack was one instance. I think there were numerous other examples, during the Civil War, the San Francisco earthquake, the Mormon violence in Naboo, Ill., the Chicago fire. Governors of each state can declare it as well as the President on a national basis IIRC.
