    If only we’d had a third term of Obama. We were almost there. Just barely missed the entire nation being able to stay home from work and not have any problems.

    We do not have a resilient society. That's always been what the debate was about: does it matter?

    Saw a humorous mashup of CNN calling it the Wuhan virus around 20,000 times and then accusing Trump of being xenophobic for doing the same.

    their current headline includes "Trump denies responsibility for testing issues."
    Out of all the things he and others spoke about today, that's the headline they choose. Pathetic network and pathetic people who roll with them.

    While “no, I don’t take any responsibility at all” was quite the incredible answer, it’s expected.

    And yes, CNN has now joined Fox News as trash. They had their biases but were watchable up until 2016. That ended quickly.

    But the good news was I was so tired of it, I was finally inspired to just ditch cable and that has been great.

    If you are not familiar, you should read up on the 1918 flu or the rise of syphilis. Both also were constantly blamed on specific places, similar to how now China blames the US and many Americans blame China.

    Syphilis is Africa’s fault and Spanish flu is obviously Spain’s fault or they wouldn’t have named it that.

    No, although I know you are kidding. The story of the Spanish Flu is quite interesting and the book on it by John Barry is fantastic. The funny story is that it became called the Spanish Flu because Spain, as a neutral in WWI, did not have censor to limit the information on the pandemic and people began to associate it with them. In reality, the source of the virus isn't 100% known, though Barry thought it was Kansas and others have hypothesized China or someplace in Europe. I still find it fascinating that I've taught history for nearly 15 years and have yet to find a history textbook which makes more than a passing reference to the pandemic which killed, possibly 65 to 100 million people.

    Advances in technology include some that increase the interconnectivity and logistical speed, thus actually enhancing these kinds of threats.
