So Italy, a first world country that the BBC says has one of Europe’s best health care system, is completely shutting down their country, essentially declaring martial law and losing tens of billions of dollars, all to stick it to trump?
You ever read the BBC internet site? it’s just a British version of CNN they hate trump just as much as FAKE news

With schools, athletic events, concerts, etc. all being shut down will this happen every time something comes around in the future?
If we have incompetent leadership it will.

no. H1N1 didnt spread globally. also H1N1 already had a vaccine available in 2009 and a fatality rate of 0.01-0.08% compared to coronavirus at over 2%
I feel like everyone who says mort rate of 2% or over needs a fricking asterisk to make people away this figure is only for anyone 60 and above with underlying health issues.

Damn you mean the entire world that is affected by this virus and then every major health organization who all agree corona should not be taken lightly.
They are actually all just lying and putting on a giant charade so that possibly maybe Trump does not get reelected.
Yup that sounds totally plausible, not a giant conspiracy theory in the least bit.

It's precedent, but hardly dangerous. Through this, we'll have better infrastructure and knowledge to handle it next time. And social distancing will save lives.
And there will be some permanence in the social distancing. There will be more remote workers going forward; firms will determine that they can get by with fewer workers. The change will be painful, but it was coming anyway and will come harder with AI (this was just the spark). Society will have to adapt. There will be "socialism" of some sort- of course there has been for years, it's just that when the handouts go to businesses it isn't called socialism.
But most of all, we need a beneficial supply shock, that can only come form technological advancement: like the PC of the 80s, and the internet and cellular technology of the 90s and 00s.

Second world. Along with the rest of the Mediterranean.

9/11, Katrina, major earthquakes, mass shootings, etc, have all changed how we live, but they have not stopped us from living.

bullshite. The man who ran the country for 8 years prior to '16 did a hell of a job dividing the country along racial lines.

Who shut down travel to Europe? Was it a Democrat?
Old Fighting Bob the Lib! And do you doubt for a second it wasn't the right thing to do? Trump is able to stop the spread of the virus and make a statement to the idiotic Globalist in the EU! Those dumbasses didn't have the balls Trump had to shut down the flights to areas heavily infected. Remember, Trump cares about Americans! Screw the Globalist pussies!

Infectious disease is the biggest threat to our way of life in todays age. Hopefully this sparks us to treat it as such and begin some preparedness task force like we have for natural disasters.
If this had been somethung actually bad and quite scary, with how interconnected our world is today, you could easily see a death count in the tens and hundreds of millions with the right disease and initial outbreak conditions.
Need to get a handle on how to combat this type of thing appropriately. Most will not be very bad, but the one that is bad makes us need to take precautions for every single one.
Have a us and international team ready to go to the outbreak zone and get a handle on it. Have software that can map spread potential based on real time data (may have been able to tell that it spread to italy and the couldn't have banned flights from italy early, as an example)
Could also have almost like an army reserve/ national guard corps trained in handling this sort of response for one that is truly scary.

Once Trump is out of office, the media will go back to quasi hyping viruses like H1N1, not inciting mass panic like they are now.

We had one that Obama started. Trump and Bolton disbanded it and fired all of its employees.

Sure but I dont think that one thing is adequate to handle something really bad.

Don’t think that the government isn’t learning from this on how much they can get away with. We should not allow the government to restrict our movement, where we go, who we go with, what we’re allowed to buy, etc.
