Right but if medical services get overwhelmed that number could easily double
i think the point @MeatyMcGee was making is that a virus 'created' in China being responsible for the deaths of 2 million Americans is not something that should be easily forgiven
The population of this planet is exploding at an exponential rate. Something like this has been bound to happen for years. I’m just amazed it isn’t way worse than this to be honest.
Hopefully this is a wake up call for a lot of people
borders are important
supplies are not necessarily going to always be there
Well when we actually manufactured everything here it would have been no issue
When you rely on China to produce everything and a virus shuts down entire regions of the country that’s a big fucking issue
You remember after the hurricanes a few years ago when there was a massive shortage of IV bags? That’s because 2-3 factories in Puerto Rico produced over half the worlds IV bags and they were taken out by the hurricane. That’s what you get with globalism
I am all for international trade and free trade on fair terms but global supply chains relying on one country to supply the global supply for one product is fucking retarded and that is where we are at now
geographical diversification of manufacturing is just as important as diversification in a stock portfolio
when it comes down to it, you can't rely on other countries to be there for you in a crisis
especially when the crisis is global and they're dealing with the same problems as you
I don’t own stock. I wouldn’t mind it if the stock market keeps crashing so I can afford to actually invest. I know it will bounce back eventually
people blaming the stock market crashing on Trump are functionally retarded
the stock market is crashing because NO BUSINESSES ARE OPEN RN
i sincerely hope the market crashes lower
i hope the housing market gets blown out of the fucking water also. prices are too fucking high
"Rent is too damn high" guy is my spirit animal
The real problem there is inflation
Boomers bought and paid off their houses for $20-40K in an amazing economy and sell them to my generation for 100-200K+ and wonder why we don’t care when 2 million of them will die to a virus we are for all intents and purposes safe from
wheres my 100k house Jesus what a dream
oh you are one of those assholes who is larping like you don't care if millions of Americans rapidly die from this shit
something feels wrong
the virus has been in china since november (5 months) and they "only have ~150k cases"
now it got to the rest of the world and in less than 3 months we've skyrocketed to over 30k new cases a day
china lied people died
its fucked up how they have the audacity to blame the US
@huppster wut
blame gaming
ok
China lied
Some countries are not even bothering to stay up to date with reporting the actual numbers. Or worse yet, they try to hide them. The Coronavirus death map is really awful at updating deaths now. Italy hasn't moved since early last night
Iran's health official said they lose someone every 10 minutes
Looks like they're counting for Italy again. They are getting wrecked
The shitty balcony DJs must still be spreading it
the people crying about trump are the same people always crying about trump but his approval is still around 55%.. they are not simply retarded. they are scientifically under social control
LOL
I think it's higher than that. I can't believe 45% of the US population is that stupid.
