Chinese official blames coronavirus outbreak on US military
"The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment." Better not react at all methinks.

https://nypost.com/2020/03/12/chines...n-us-military/

As dumb as blaming it on Europe.
Let all the "great leaders" meet and let them wrestle and scrap, while the rest of the world just goes on living.

Denmark have taken a dramatically step. The government have decided to close their borders from tomorrow Saturday(14 March) and until 13th April.

Only goods, medicin, Danish citizens, other citizens who live in Denmark and people who live in either Sweden or Germany and commute to their work in Denmark will be allowed to cross the border-Others will be refuse to enter.

Citizens who live in Denmark have been given orange warning to travel to other countries The Danish State Department have marked entire world Orange.

Back to daily living in a country who are in a health crisis.

Today when I toke the bus to the neighbour town. I could see they had made some drastic change. Now only 25 person is allowed on the bus and only one person per seat.

When sitting there on the bus, I couldn't help thinking what one of you wrote(guess it was Skybird) how this virus could survive between three hours and three days on surfaces or more, depending on the material.

If a person can be infected by sitting or other things in an area where a infected have been some minutes or hours ago, then all these step our authorities or politicians have taken will be useless.
(I truly hope I'm wrong)

Edit.
Just got this on my wall and it's about Corona surviving outside an infected person.

Quote:
This means the coronavirus could theoretically infect someone after hanging out on a door handle or handrail for several days – another good reason to wash your hands regularly with soap and warm water.
They also found that the pathogen can live in the air in an aerosolized form for up to 3 hours.

Donnie as you call him is in reality the President of the United States and what he is doing right now will save lives.

This country is not going to go down the drain because of the POTUS no matter what CNN thinks

Meh, I'll call him Donnie, and it's fair game laughing at him, considering how much posters here like laughing at the rest of the US politicians. After all, most of the Western world laughs at him already.

Trump:
"So last year 37,000 Americans died from the common Flu. It averages between 27,000 and 70,000 per year. Nothing is shut down, life & the economy go on. At this moment there are 546 confirmed cases of CoronaVirus, with 22 deaths. Think about that!"

"The Fake News Media and their partner, the Democrat Party, is doing everything within its semi-considerable power (it used to be greater!) to inflame the CoronaVirus situation, far beyond what the facts would warrant. Surgeon General, “The risk is low to the average American.”"

I will of course state that Trump is doing his best. I will not go further in this matter. All who do not support his view are traitors and produce "fake news".

There are ten thousands of professional people dealing with the situation, and it will be them who will tackle the situation. I wish them and the american people all the best.

Seems like this Corona will hit USA hart.

This is just going to keep spreading. We have to stop fooling people into thinking this is only by close contact where I have to be within 2 or 3 feet. We’re going to see much more transmission,” he said. “There will be widespread transmission of this virus around the country, and what we have to do is keep people who are at high risk of having bad outcomes, older, underlying health conditions, from being exposed.”

Now, now, since I'm not a US citizen, I can't be a "traitor" for not following the "Dear Leader": I am an enemy. Using the proper vocabulary is important. Plus, in the US, treason is a pretty complex charge to throw, and I would need to be a US citizen giving aid and support to the US' enemies in time of war for that to stick.

Just saying.

That's what had been said since it appeared the CDC botched the first response and the hospitals didn't start checking people for Covid-19 for free. The virus has been running around unchecked.

@ Rufus Shinra
Ok i change my statement, adding:
"I will of course state that Trump is doing his best. I will not go further in this matter. All who do not support his view are traitors and produce "fake news", or are members of the EU."

On that we can roughly agree though I'll have to politely show my unease on the perception that US citizens disagreeing with the POTUS are traitor, both on a legal standing - due to the US Constitution's definition of treason - and on a philosophical one as well - the freedom of opinion and of speech is, AFAIK, covering the option of having dissenting opinions compared to the chief of the executive. But I suppose this isn't the thread for discussing the implications for democracy of branding as traitors people who disagree with their current Head of State.

You were joking and I didn't pick up on that.

Oh my, this Führerkult in the US never fails to make people like me laughing.

But keep on kneeling. Bad habits are hard to break.
