Everyone sitting alone in their houses worried about loved ones, jobs, financial futures, we really need to understand something:

None of this had to happen.

We are facing a global crisis because a very stupid and selfish man was given the most powerful job in the world.
A competent President would've immediately mobilized for mass testing instead of rejecting it.

A competent President would've immediately instituted basic social distancing measures instead of calling it a hoax.

If we had a competent President, we wouldn't be in this right now.
The virus was discovered in the US on the EXACT SAME DAY it was discovered in South Korea.

Look how far behind the rest of the world we are.

People are going to DIE because of this utter incompetence:

What’s the fucking point of allowing billionaires to accrue all this money if we have to pay them every time their companies lose value?

That’s what the BILLIONS we let you keep are for, dipshits.
Ok how about this:

No more billionaires. None.

After you reach $999 million, every red cent goes to schools and health care.

You get a trophy that says, “I won capitalism” and we name a dog park after you.
Instead of giving billions of dollars to the rich, how about we buy these nurses some basic fucking protective gear?

Every time Trump is cornered, he pivots to racism bc then it becomes a question of PERCEPTION (which his followers love him for) instead of FACTS of his mind-boggling mismanagement.

It’s a strategy.

We can't ignore racism. We just have to face that this argument helps him.
If the headline is about his racism that means it ISN'T about how he rejected testing, fired the pandemic response team, and called the virus a "hoax."

He can win (or tie) in an argument about racism because his followers are racists and that's exactly what they like about him.
What's so diabolical about this approach is the racism itself is ALSO very damaging so it can't be ignored. We simply can't let it highjack the entire conversation.

We are facing a crisis Trump CREATED through stupidity.

That has to be the big story right now.

I don’t think people have fully digested this shocking fact:

Coronavirus was discovered in the U.S. on the SAME DAY it was discovered in South Korea.

They mobilized their entire society and it is now contained.

Trump called it a hoax and it’s now out of control.
It bears repeating,

THIS is why we need mass testing:

This is a very good illustration of Trump's massive failure to act leading us to the point of catastrophe:

1/8 Tks @FICCI_CTech & @ficci_india. @PrinSciAdvGoI recently mentioned the immediate needs to deal ranging from PPEs, RDTs, MobilApps, Criticalcare Equipments to Sterilising Equipments. I believe that we have several (indeed several) products between (TRL6-9) @PMOIndia @GKangInd
2/8 These products could be quickly assessed & along with #Indian #medtech #manufacturers productn could be ramped up to meet the immediate need for #Covid19 care. #agencies esp @BIRAC_2012 & @MADevImpact (@eittee & @AbhaySinghKr) have many #medtech #products in their portfolio

“Mr. Xi’s visit comes as China re­ports a steep de­cline in the num­ber of new cases. On Tues­day, Wuhan shut down the last of the 14 tem­po­rary hos­pi­tals that it had built to ac­com­mo­date the sud­den surge of new pa­tients.”
A signal that China can get back to work:
But, despite this victory lap for the Xi presidency, China is very much not back to normal. Those who can leave Hubei will still need to quarantine. Their Alipay health codes will still be red. They’ll still be shunned from society.

"Who wants to go to the dentist or the hospital during an outbreak if a visit isn’t necessary? Yet health spending is 17 percent of the U.S. economy — more than triple the proportion spent in China."
"Agriculture, a sector not noted for day-to-day social interaction and so potentially less harmed by social withdrawal, is a 10 times larger share of China’s economy than it is in the United States."
"For all the talk about the global 'supply shock' set off by the coronavirus outbreak and its impact on supply chains, we may have more to fear from an old-fashioned 'demand shock' that emerges when everyone simply stays home."

The cliché cover photos have even become a meme of sorts for Asian Americans and westerners, with people from many backgrounds throwing their hat into the ring with corona aesthetic ™
Last Monday, a young Singaporean man — Jonathan Mok — was assaulted in an unprovoked hate crime on Oxford Street in London. The men reportedly yelled “I don’t want your coronavirus in my country.” theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/m… Image
I don't know why the man in Flushing collapsed, but he doesn't look much older than Jonathan Mok, and as we approach this pandemic, I am given a little hope in that — unlike China's lifeless pariahs on the streets — people came to help in America. ImageImage

Saint Patrick's Day celebrations winding down next. A year without culture or celebration.

"Dr. Mike Ryan, executive director of WHO’s health emergencies program, said Monday that the coronavirus isn’t transmitting the same exact way as the flu and health officials have been given a 'glimmer, a chink of light' that the virus could be contained." Image

Everyone knows that I have mental issues as I keep talking about it anyway. But at some point this is enough.

A former regular of my community is making my friends and myself feel hostage because they are considering taking their life away. Yet they dismiss everything else too.
Long ago that I stepped away from it because I don't want to be involved with them anymore, for personal reasons. And now they're pushing some of my friends to their limits too, because the latter cannot handle such venting/burden.
I know myself that choices are hard to take. But if you're being a bother to the people who are trying to help you, then you must REALLY reconsider something.

You can't rely on others forever. At some point you should take action by yourself, no matter how hard it is.
