I was witnessing the kind of maximum, almost brutal efficiency a society must develop when the state is the master and the individual is merely a subject. Why would a Communist country not have an effective FDA? Because who are you going to complain to if you get tainted food? The government? They don’t answer to you. The press? They are owned by the government. And again, they don’t answer to you.

To wish illness and potential death on others makes you sicker than the corona virus.

I really urge you all to read the whole blog.  It really explains how a virus could expand much worse in China than would likely happen here.  This is just part of it.

Well, I was talking to Chuck, but thank you for your time.  I know yours was the original post, but you didn't write it.  It was a tweet from a state congresswoman that you declined to give credit to, and were hoping others here would think was your wit.

It was a meme, dumbass! Funny, I've never seen you dawg anyone else for not crediting where the memes they post originated.
Things that make you go, "Hmmm...."

That is a diversion from the obvious.  You read the two paragraphs I posted, but did not read the blog, and thought yourself clever with your response.  Have you read it all yet?  I would like to hear an intelligent response at some point.

Quote:Vice President Mike Pence on Tuesday evening said that "any American can be tested" for the novel coronavirus, as the Trump administration struggled to clear up confusion and mixed signals over testing amid concerns that tests were not being made available soon enough.

Pence said in an off-camera briefing at the White House that there was new guidance from the Centers for Disease Control that any American could be tested -- "no restrictions, subject to doctors' orders." The announcement follows numerous complaints of citizens asking to be tested and turned away due to the strict CDC testing criteria. Pence said the new guidance will make clear "that any clinician or health authority can administer the test."

Yep. I responded to what you posted. I don't click on random and sundry links.
