The Chinese have gone to lengths (that we would not even accept), here, in order to try to keep the COVID-19 corralled. They went so far as to sacrifice their economic growth down to zero. By doing this, they gave the rest of the world time to prepare.
We completely bumf#cked that time we were given, by doing NOTHING functional.
Hey, it’s looking like it’s not just for humans any more.

The good news, no need to panic. Yet. It’s just a sign of what’s possible in the months and years to come.
Climate change and coronaviruses: a warming world encourages the emergence and spread of new infectious diseases Rising global temperatures will shorten winter seasons, which benefit potential disease-carrying agents and enable them to spread further north Climate change may also make habitats unsuitable for animals, forcing them closer to urban areas and increasing the risk of transmission of zoonotic diseasesLetters

“Many Americans don’t want to call it “Chinese Flu” or something like that because it would stigmatize Asians.”
But since too many American’s are all about stigmatizing others and playing xenophobic games - it’s fair game for the trumpster crowd. eh?
This would be a good time to rethink our reliance on cheap Chinese manufacturing.Buddy, that cargo ship as long sailed outta port.

In some circles, the disease is known as “Wuhan Pneumonia”. That should make OneGuy happy, since it clearly suggests that an area of China is to blame.
I suggest we call it T rump’s plan for culling the Social Security rolls. That seems to be the jist of what his idiotic leadership on the matter is going to produce.
“Wuhan flu” does have a ring to it.

Zoonotic infections are almost always caused by unnatural human-animal interactions — like wet markets — or poor sanitation/hygiene, rather than close proximity.
Speaking of what a no-good filthy LIAR DOTUS we have, the Shit-for-brains LIAR said today, that as of yesterday, anyone who had a doctor’s order for a test could get one. That is a LIE! (No surprise that our DOTUS lied, he lies EVERY day.) But this is one of those times that when our DOTUS lies, people are gonna die.
BTW, does Singapore have a healthcare system that is vastly superior to that of the USA? They sure as hell are doing an extraordinarily better job addressing this epidemic than the USA is.
