The Coronavirus Pandemic Panic

(Image by:  A.F. Branco)

I've been off duty from my job at Washington State Emergency Management for the past several days.  So I'm not sure what I'll be "walking into" when I go back to work later this week, especially since our governor declared a state of emergency.  In the meantime, I've been getting a lot of word-of-mouth reports.

During my staycation, one of my close friends informed me of the first Coronavirus death in the US (now up to 9 in WA State), while at lunch on Saturday.

Then as the work-week began, there was a run on various stores in my local area.  Friends at the local gym told me shelves were devoid of all sorts of goods.  Bottled water, bread, cleaning wipes and hand sanitizer were popular--and now scarce--items.

Good thing I learned to have small stockpiles of things for times like this.

While shoppers were stripping the store shelves bare, Our Grand Nagus increased the staffing of the Coronavirus Task Force.

But the Dimtards and their mouthpieces at the Ministry of Truth aren't "...letting a good crisis go to waste."

In the Coronavirus Case--blame Trump.

China isn't the only one lying about the Coronavirus.

 I certainly don't know how widespread the disease will get, but we're certainly going from hysteria to hysteria.

While tens of thousand have fallen ill and thousands have died worldwide, here in the US, Coronavirus causes stupidity to go viral.

As of now, Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) has had a larger negative impact on our country than the Coronavirus--

--Like the Deep Stater(s) that allowed infected Americans to be flown back to the US.

--Or this Denver councilwoman threatening to attend MAGA rallies if she becomes infected.

--Or in the case of the Seattle Politburo, ignoring how the homeless population could exacerbate the situation.

But like most crises, this didn't occur overnight--or even at the initial outbreak.

Mass immigration from--and offshoring to--Communist China has left us vulnerable on multiple levels.

And this isn't the first time either: There was SARS in 2003.

We can't trust China to make dog food ingredients that won't sicken our pets, let alone be truthful about the nature an origins of one of their contagions.

Meanwhile, it looks like FEMA is preparing for a nation-wide emergency declaration.

But for those who believe Bolshevik Bernie's campaign promise of Free Healthcare For All, there's this cautionary tale of when the system fails you.

In the meantime, take the usual sensible and typical flu-related health precautions.
