re: The fact that the U.S. has passed China in confirmed cases is laughable.

I understand there are some on the board who don't remember Chernobyl first hand.

Commie BS is a fricking sight to behold, superior to all other forms of BS - the Catch 22 of BS, to borrow a phrase.

Workers at a nuke plant in Sweden set off a rad monitor at their plant. That was the world's first indication of a problem. Of course they looked everywhere on site and found no leaks.

Subsequent escalation found no leaks in country so they asked their neighbors "CCCP, any nuke problems we need to know about?"

"Nyet" they replied "all our nukes are good."

So we - the US - flew a satellite over and saw a red spot where unit 4 was supposed to be and again asked "CCCP, are you sure your nukes are OK?"

"Da" they replied "we had a minor problem at one plant but there are no radiological difficulties."

Like I said, commie BS is without equal.
