This is not a China virus, it's an airline virus.

This virus spread around the world in a month. It was amazing how quickly it spread. The entire world is going to have to re-think the airline industry, if we don't this will happen again and again. One day it may be an Ebola type virus that the airline spreads quickly around the world and that my friends would be game over.

Named after the "man" that singlehandedly allowed it to spread in the USA by his utter failure to do anything.

That's where the pandemic really started and manifested. And they did nothing to try to contain it there.

50 kilometers per hour if you want to get technical about it.

Annual vacations will be mandated at six weeks or more, with one year sabbaticals every seven years. Plenty of time to see the world.

Travel by carbon neutral rail, ship, and airship will be luxurious.

Enjoy the ride!

"On that train all graphite and glitter
Undersea by rail
Ninety minutes from New York to Paris
Well by seventy-six we'll be A.O.K.
What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free"

9. This is another trump tactic to distract attention away from his failure now

Under Obama he was on top of it , had needed medical equipment in place , and even had others go to other countries to help them contain it , and didn't lie , or try to slow down responses to it. On the other hand trump knew about it in Jan. yet did nothing, knew it was a pandemic way before it was even announced and still did nothing, and now uses racist remarks to divert attention away from his failure to prevent this from getting this bad now. But his lies tell the story on trump that he knew exactly what he did , and still didn't give a dam about the American people and their safety. He can claim no responsibility for anything , but that doesn't mean a thing when he says it because he can't ever be honest , not even in a crisis. What does that say about people that vote for this? He claims he's making America great again, I say he's lying again , its the opposite.
