    Yeah. Because just not looking for new diseases erupting is such a great idea. I hope Europe and China are doing their due diligence, and hopefully we don’t have the next big disease kick off in the USA.

      Oh it most certainly will. The worst pandemic is one full of ignorant people and leadership. They’re basically a powdered keg from a disease standpoint.

      No point in diligence when the response was poorly coordinated between European countries and China just denied SARSCov2 was even a problem. Sweden and Holland did fuck all.

        We did do a lot. But our government has done the job of kicking the can for years. Thanks to Rutte…
