Donald Trump has launched an extraordinary defence of China’s alleged attempts to cover-up the extent of the spread of coronavirus. 

The US president, who has claimed without evidence the virus will likely “go away” by April, said Beijing has handled the epidemic “very professionally”, despite accusations the country had attempted to suppress information about the crisis.

TBH I am scared enough already that I canceled a move to Singapore. Not to mention that they think that the numbers are at least double what the PRC are putting out.

Oh aren't you going to run for congress?

   If the Chinese government knew how quickly or how widely this would spread, then it was a huge mistake not to release that information. Many of the people stuck on cruise ships or in quarantine facilities may have cancelled trips all together if they knew how much greater and faster this would turn into an epidemic. 

 

   When I was younger, covering up events of this magnitude was possible. In the modern world it is not. Either you get conspiracy theories that get out of control, or it gets blown open by someone on the inside. If they tried to cover up anything, it was a mistake. 

 

  I don't think this is going away. I think the hope of it diminishing in April is that the virus will not spread as easy when the temperature starts to warm, so new cases may be slower to appear or perhaps stop completely. Even if that does happen though, chances are good it will be back next season.

Well I got offered a job to Singapore back in October and I was doing processing for that. But that have many cases of coronavirus there

 

 

Then in December I sat down with the local Republican party about running for Congress because the district got redrawn so the incumbent didn't want to run anymore because it leans Democrat now. They flat out informed me that someone else who I greatly respect was going to run for the seat, and they asked if I would run for the seat if I was given a spot on his committee on regards to veteran and immigration issues. So I agreed to it with the caveat that I will run on 2022 if he doesn't get it. 

 

So we shall see what happens in November. I am only 36 so I got time. But I did say that they will have a branding issue because he is a older white guy with no military experience. When four out five of the Democrats are black, and one of them is a former Marine as well.

That is a good plan.

You can already run for President, whereas Alexandria Occasional-Cortex cannot.

   You are going to get AOC in trouble TBone. Legally she has to reside in NY, but it's becoming obvious that she is living rent free in your head at the moment.

What's funny is that I just got out from early voting for the NC primaries on March 3rd. I figured that I got the day off and I got the time so I might as well vote. it only took me 10 minutes to do it.

Only Occasionally, and only in part of my Cortex.

But we thank you for your concern, si man.
