New conspiracy theory: democratic operatives are actively spreading the virus in the US to give Trump a "Katrina" moment, just prior to the election.

The best example of this was the decision to fly back infected American passengers from the Diamond Princess. This fateful decision helped spread the virus inside the United States.

President Trump had been told that nobody with the coronavirus would be flown to America.

The State Department decided to do it anyway without telling him and only made the announcement shortly after the planes landed in the United States.

Another cruise ship situation.

I've heard cruise ships are cheap as hell right now.

I bet.

Although, I tried to book a spring break plane trip, and tickets were still expensive. Fuckers. Stay home!

Much of the contents of your medicine cabinet can be traced back to Chinese ingredients processed into pills in India. Thanks to the coronavirus, much of Chinese industry remains shut down. The potential ramifications of that for pharmaceuticals are now becoming clear.
India, which supplies around 40% of U.S. generic drugs, announced this week that it was restricting exports of 26 drug ingredients and medicines that use them, including several common antibiotics and the active ingredient in Tylenol.
Meanwhile...
Speaking at a town hall sponsored by Fox News on Thursday night, Mr. Trump again sought to calm nerves, saying the economy remained strong and that he liked that people may travel more domestically due to restrictions.

“It’s all going to work out. Everybody has to be calm,” he said.

I dunno, I feel like he'd tell most people they are just trash. "You're an idiot, do it. You probably won't even succeed. I killed myself 10 times, Best suicide ever"

I was implying he'd have the opposite of the desired results because he's really bad at "calming nerves".

I understand what he's trying to do, which is a good thing. He's just bad at it.

Apparently there is a case reported by a firm in my building. They use a different elevator bank, but going to work is now optional. Lotta gardening at home over the next few weeks ahead.

The White House overruled health officials who wanted to recommend that elderly and physically fragile Americans be advised not to fly on commercial airlines because of the new coronavirus, a federal official told The Associated Press.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention submitted the plan as a way of trying to control the virus, but White House officials ordered the air travel recommendation be removed, said the official who had direct knowledge of the plan.
Once again, fuck the Trump administration.
