Jesus, this reads like Twilight: 2000, without the nukes.

Seems WaPo realized their side screwed up... https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/03/23/lets-be-honest-impeachment-hurt-trumps-response-coronavirus/

Meanwhile, in the nostalgia section? Anyone remember dreading 2020 for a different reason? https://www.the-sietch.com/index.php?threads/who-else-dreads-this-year.257/ Yeah, guess we all had a collective preminition?

Even RCP is getting it: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2020/03/18/beijing_fears_covid-19_is_turning_point_for_china_globalization__142686.html

In an effort to calm people down, I found this article from someone who ought to know! https://bluecollarprepping.blogspot.com/2020/02/guest-post-pandemic-dont-panic.html?spref=fb&m=1&fbclid=IwAR1GPbJ2o3EzgbzhBZDs8o2EiJW-dzQuDp0ZDg2fO-TmNVrK6yg3q-r9G8Y

Corona Chan wanted an audience with the Shah, won't it be disappointed.

Qom, "birthplace of the revolution." That's not going to play well in Iran.

I love my Chinese wife and her family, but yeah, there's a big difference between them and those folks still back 'in the old country.' What concerns me is lets say this gets here with rates of infection higher than what we have presently? I could see politics rearing its ugly head with any...

Anybody remember where the PLA's 11th Airborne Corps is located? According to wiki: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/People%27s_Liberation_Army_Air_Force_Airborne_Corps So yeah, two of the three divisions in China's premier intervention force is under threat from this thing, along with the...

Right now, I am not sure what to think of all this. I think, @Train Dodger, calm down but be ready. I am. I have food, water, and a means to shut this house down if I have to. I am hoping, praying, that it won't come to that, but in case it does? I am ready. That is where we all need to be. I...

Que "World War Z solution."

Dude, we'll have to unload the damn ships ourselves, as I suspect a lot of Chinese dockside personnel will be too scared or ill to do it.

I could so see that. And we wouldn't know a thing, just like the rest of the "night and fog" crap going on there.

There is one other worse way to see it. China needs our goods to survive because their own economy is shuttered indoors sick, or trying not to get sick

Ok, interesting but potentially related side note. I am a follower of Michael Yon. Many of you know his exploits, and he had been doing a lot of reporting covering the HK protests of late. Well, he went home to Thailand for a bit, as he has family there IIRC. He'd done some reporting from there...

Is it wrong I was thinking the same thing? And that I start my plagues in China?

I don't care either, it's more the reaction that has me saying that. It's a goddamned NBC suit. It has no opinions, and neither does the pathogen. But don't tell millennials that, that's racist too apparently.

And this is why millenials get a bad rap (am Gen-X myself), shit like this. But seriously, now the Chinese are asking the WHO in. This is telling and as Kelgar pointed out on the BQ Discord, it's a massive loss of face for the PRC. But considering they're probably lying about the number of sick...

And the hits keep on coming... https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/coronavirus-china-latest-updates/2020/01/27/3634db9a-40a7-11ea-aa6a-083d01b3ed18_story.html
