This is like a 9/11 every other day, but it's over and we should all get back to work to keep the economy going - what?
- tartuffe78 6y agoIt might be that we respond more rationally to health crises than we do to terrorism.

Some people really want to blame China, but it's not as easy to invade a global superpower with a permanent seat on the UN security council, nuclear weapons and super intricate ties to the world's economy as it is to invade a few underdeveloped countries in the middle east with barely any air force.
- nl 6y agoI don't think that comment is a call for war or anything like that. They are expressing amazement at those saying "it's all fine - lets go back to normal". The "9/11 everyday" is referring to the daily death toll (it's slightly lower now, but the point is well made).
- analognoise 6y agoYeah I definitely wasn't calling for war or anything of the sort.
- rjsw 6y agoJust copy 9/11, invade a country that borders China /s.
- moron4hire 6y agoIf you apply the principle of "assuming good faith", then the GP is clearly taking about spending and mobilization of effort. And I agree. The US government has been negligent in their response to the pandemic.
