    We're in a Cold War.

    This vaccine is our moon race right now.

    China is trying to use this to show strength and to sell that they've passed us as the world leader.

    We don't want a hot war with China. If we start bring manufacturing home, we're going to put the CCP in real jeopardy and their backs going to be against the wall.

    I want us to do that but we need to be smart too.

    This is a fair assessment, and one of the reasons Twitter diplomacy is a bad idea. I am emotional and not thinking straight.

    Emotional is okay sometimes.

    It happens to all of us.

    I do think if Trump wins re-election. Bringing the manufacturing base back home from china is going to be his main agenda.

    So the thought isn't that they would withhold the vaccine, but rather use the fact that they had it first to cement their standing as having passed us as a world leader?

    Aren't a lot of companies that are searching for the vaccine neither American nor Chinese? The whole thing is odd to me.

    Had an upset stomach all day. Now forced to ponder whether it’s the rona or just that fact that I’ve consumed nothing but gummy bears and cocaine for three days.

    Based upon my experience, gummy bears and cocaine don't cause these symptoms. You definitely have the virus.

    I’ve actually been pondering a similar strategy, but I think mine is much more practical. We align our military on the southern border and march into Mexico, conquering it. We then continue on through all of Central and South America, conquering it all. Then, when the Coronavirus flares up again in the cold weather, we simply relocate our entire populace to our secondary Southern Hemisphere homes.

    Been coughing for 3 days. Ungodly cough to be honest. Chalked it up to just allergies. But not the usual sore throat.

    Gotten worse today. Fever is 99.2. Nice knowing you all. Think I’m hit.

    I'm all for it. Tell them either fall in line behind us or we will push them into the Antarctic waters.

    They're asking the public to not crime for awhile. Seems fair.
