Yeah I don't believe for a second that the world's most populous country is finding less than 100 cases a day for, what, two weeks straight? It conflicts with a massive amount of data and calculated predictions in every part of the world, and this is the country in which it originated!

So honestly, the deniers are either believing Chinese reporting at face value (lol) or they're lying to us.

China is lying and have been since the beginning.

They also did nothing and actually encouraged the spread by allowing the lunar New year celebration to take place.

Yes, and I would encourage everyone to Google "Dr. Li Wenliang" and read his very sad story. The Chinese government viewed one of their own physicians that was just trying to warn his people about the severity of this virus, as being subversive and trying to spread a panic. The doctor was silenced and threatened with imprisonment. He has since died from the Coronavirus himself.

When I see people crowding a 800 sq ft barber shop amidst a suggested isolation, or beaches packed with people, or ignorant pieces of **** actively crowding places as though they're champions of capitalism, I'm not going to peg all of it on some twitter troll who posts on social media more than he governs.

It's intellectually dishonest, dude.

A real leader would listen to the experts and constantly tell people to stay home, at least stay away from crowds, etc. Instead, Trump keeps telling people it's going well, don't worry, and it's blown out of proportion.

"Not worried about government relief because I don't need. I've been taking care of that for my employees this week."
Thought I read that plain as day.

I'll help you because you aren't doing it on your own anytime soon.

"Of that" would be referring to the subject of the previous sentence, which in this case would be "government assistance." I don't work for the government, so I'll let you figure the rest out on your own.

Maybe so, but just to be clear, I’m not one of the guys denying this is a dire situation. I just have serious doubts about China’s info.

I'm sure China is under reporting.
My dig was at the people on here who constantly disparage our media but then complain about China's manipulation and control of information.
It's like they think our government is the only source of truth, but other governments need a free press in order to report the truth.
I just find the irony amusing.

I guess it is entirely possible he could have died from this virus but at the very least it smells awful

He's not a real leader, but if someone is dumb enough to take his opinion on this matter over that of thousands of relevant professionals in this field, then **** 'em. That's their choice.

No some of us possess the ability to read through our media BS.

Don't try and word play me, I know exactly what you said and what you meant. You'll be the first tool sucking at the government teat when the money is doled out and you know it.

My brother works for large, home improvement chain. He was given a document declaring him an "essential employee" and told to keep it in his vehicle. Just in case National Guard stops him going to or from his job. Is the company being proactive or panicking? Is martial law really next? Seems this company thinks it's likely.

If they are stopping him and asking for proof, martial law is here.
