Wu Flu is not only affecting our health, it may impact our policies and politics

If the Wu Flu arriving in the US wasn't bad enough, the author of this article and someone named Sally Pipes, are stating that this may become so massive that we couldn't afford to offer a medicare-for-all plan even if we wanted to.

I used to poo-poo the people that said this was engineered and purposely sent here by the Chinese.

Now, I'm not so sure.

Thoughts?

I have been banging on that garbage can lid for days now. I have a huge thread on it. Where are these two Chinese scientists?

Twitter banned Zerohedge for life when they published another "take" about it.

Medicare for all wouldn't have ever worked anyways, so I guess you could say the Coronavirus could save our economy.

Intentionally ? ….Yes. But not from an specific nation. It's a globalist strategy and it's working and costing great collateral damage.

Maybe its time to live and move to the safest place in the world:

Kim Jong-un & North Korea!

Cui Bono?

I think once we answer that - and I think the answer(s) are obvious - we'll start to get to the root of this disaster.

Why are we afraid to shine a light on this question?

Hmmm...

It'll just buy you time. Or maybe not, China is not far from NK at all.

Talking for myself, I'm not afraid of the virus, but I find upsetting the denial of reality some people is still showing. That's what makes this virus so dangerous.

Oh we can afford the plan. The plan will just be for the govt to terminate all infected and possibly infected people. The populace loses any decision making authority once it's govt run.

That's probably the plan. Universal healthcare after the massive purge before 2030. They are behind the schedule BTW.

From today's edition of USA Today:

40,000 Coronavirus Cases May be the Tip of the Iceberg

My favorite quote from that article:

"Be wary of initial reports and really rely on the guidance from experts at WHO and the (U.S.) Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, experts in separating out 'fact from fiction.'"

Single payer would never work here anyways, only thing that might is something similar to the Israeli hybrid system.

If this starts taking down a large amount of people, I don’t think insurance companies and other funding sources can handle it, I would be curious if a forced price control system would be implemented, or a voucher system, at least temporarily or it will just spread everywhere.

Who knows, a scared western government may act like a totalitarian state.

True.

Many people seem happy and content with their head up their ass.

On this and other issues.

I've learned to ignore them as they add nothing of value to my life.

They're essentially a waste of a pair of shoes.

No knowledge + no opinion = sheep.

The worst part is they start bleating when they realize they've led themselves to the slaughter, and start blaming everyone else.
