When the Chinese flu comes back in December, if Trump is NOT the president-elect, will we shut down the country again?
"The Chinese should be subjected to the same sanctions and restrictions meted out to white South Africans during apartheid, until the wet markets are closed and exotic animal traders gulag’d like Uighurs."

"From this point on, there can be nothing that takes priority over shutting down the Chinese exotic-animal trade and wet markets. Nothing."

I don’t want to get too technical for people, but when NYC has more COVID deaths a day than it typically has from all causes combined, it’s probably not because people are dying “with COVID, but not from COVID.”
This is interesting:

This is the billion-dollar question. Speaker Pelosi and the House can stop a good deal of it, but with McConnell and Republicans running the Senate, there's no fail-safe. And they've seized a lot of the courts including SCOTUS. It's a pretty dire picture to be sure.
Really? Who’s going to stop him? https://twitter.com/mcfaul/status/1247600208118042625

This pandemic has put into stark relief what Democrats tend to believe and what Republicans tend to believe, as regards the value of workers, who deserves relief, healthcare etc. Voters who have written the two parties off as just the same should take careful note going forward.
Coronavirus has exposed the conditions under which too many Americans work every day.

We need to raise the wage.
We need safer work conditions.
We need health care for all.
We need paid leave.
Not just during this crisis—always.

The Constitution would like a word. The Postal Service isn't written into Article 1 with the goal of it being profitable. It's there to connect a vast country and ensure that everyone--from the biggest city to the smallest town--can get the mail. Congress should stop gutting it.
Trump SLAMS the United States Postal Service and rightly so.
They lost over $7B in 2019.
