I have heard the same story as well.

 

  Perhaps from experience, people in those countries have learned to keep a supply of items at home already.

The big difference between the US and other countries is our media is actually trying to cause mass panic.  If everything seems unstable and the economy is in the tank, they are in a better position to try and unseat the current administration.

So you mean socialism is actually good for humanity?  Maybe we should try it here.

That's what I am hearing from so many on the left.  Mayhap it's time to give them a chance, let's see if they are right.

Umm.. no. Those countries overthrew socialism because it didn’t work.

1000% korek.

 

I have not seen ONE SINGLE HEADLINE in the last week talking about the 40-50,000 flu deaths.

    Maybe you should respond to whoever said that then. I'm not sure where you are going with this or how it pertains to anything I posted.

Just musing, wasn't directed at anyone.   (Though I do seem to think you're on the left, politically, I don't remember you being behind any particular candidate)

Here are all the top 7 CNN headlines from yesterday. You can see their priorities. Is this what’s important for the American people to know?

I have spent time in the Philippines.  Who needs TP?

We are not battling covid-19.  Not a month ago, not today.  We are merely battling the political and maniacal hysteria from the media.

 

If the virus is "super contagious" as we are told, and doubles every day to every three days, and it hit WA state on 15 Jan, first confirmed case on 21 Jan, why are we seeing 568 cases in WA, and not 200,000~500,000 that goes along with the media predictions?

  I don't mind discussing socialism or politics, but I am trying to keep my thoughts in this thread limited to the current topic of Covid-19. We have enough other topics to praise and criticize Trump or CNN or socialism (or whatever one's whim is at the time) without getting this one sidetracked.

I think this discussion is relevant to the topic “All things Corona virus”.  I’m pretty much sure this means “All things” related to the Corona virus. 
 

I already booked my flight to Ukraine on April 3 to stay with my fiancé and go to the embassy so we can do the K1 interview together. Ukraine has banned incoming travel into the country until March 3. If CNN continues to spread the perception that the US is a mess and Corona is rampant here, Ukraine May lift the ban for some countries, but add the US to previously banned countries (like Italy).  Also, the state department is concerned with public perception. The embassy has stopped scheduling visa interviews in Ukraine. As long as the media continues this misleading narrative, the embassy is likely to continue to be closed to visa interviews. 

Our window to make a K1 interview closes on May 25. If something goes wrong and we are unable to get an extension (there are so many uncertainties about everything  right now), I will have to start the K1  process over.  If I have to apply again, there is a higher likelihood my petition will be rejected.  I applied under the old petition rules and may not be so fortunate under the new rules.

So, for me, everything with the media, politics, Trump, etc., is relevant to my Visa Journey as well as the topic “All things Corona virus”
