Bernie Sanders says military socialism is bad socialism, social socialism is good socialism, doesn't get it that most military spending is on PEOPLE
The Defense Department knows it needs to become more efficient. It now
spends a third of its budget on personnel and maintenance. That will rise to 100% by 2024, thanks to retirement and medical costs.
More.
The nuclear family is communist and the US military is socialist, and yet they call it capitalism.
China didn't restrict travel soon enough: Between Jan 10-24 trips by rail jumped 17.2% year over year
There were already seven cases of untreatable viral pneumonia on Dec 30, 2019 at the Wuhan Central Hospital, according to now deceased Dr. Li Wenliang.
By Jan 23, 2020 830 confirmed cases and an unknown number of clinically diagnosable cases had piled up, at which time Wuhan in Hubei province was locked down.
Much too late.
From the CNBC update:
China’s railway operator said 210 million trips were taken in the 40
days of the Lunar New Year travel period from Jan. 10 to Feb. 18, state
news agency Xinhua reported. That number marked a 48% decline from last year.
During roughly the first two weeks of the travel period, through Jan.
24 (Lunar New Year eve), 168 million trips were taken, an increase of
17.2% from the corresponding holiday travel season last year, the report
said. For the remainder of the time period, rail trips fell 83.9%, the
article said. The report noted the number of average daily trips during
the latter period fell to 1.7 million from 11.2 million. — Cheng
Diamond Princess cruise ship coronavirus infections jump to 621
The infection rate for the 3,711 passengers and crew therefore jumps to 16.7%.
China says 74,185 coronavirus infections, 2,004 deaths, fatality rate jumps again
Fatality rate jumps to 2.7%.

Rush Limbaugh today sees an idiot in the Mini Mike Mirror and backs away thinking "Yeah, I'm pretty dumb and look at all the money I've got!"
Here:
I
just don’t think he’s very bright, and I know that cuts against the
grain so strongly because most people say, “My gosh, Rush, he’s got more
money than you, more money than we got. He can’t be dumb and have that
happen.” Ehhh. I think there’s a lot of these rich people, folks, that when it comes to flat-out common sense are just idiots.
Absence of non-East Asian coronavirus fatalities so far makes some wonder if there ever will be any
There are considerations other than genetic racial predisposition or vulnerability to infection, however.
As the Chinese are now reporting, the coronavirus infection affects older men much more than women. In the initial phase of infection in Wuhan, for example, 68% of patients were men. Strikingly, as recently as 2015, 68% of Chinese men were said to smoke cigarettes, making them predisposed to infection because of impaired lung health.
Still, no death so far has involved someone without East Asian ancestry, which may indicate, as with the SARS coronavirus epidemic in 2002-2004, that fear of a global pandemic resulting in millions of deaths may not be reasonable and that this may remain an East Asian epidemic. It could be that just as sub-Saharan Africa is responsible for 80% of genetic sickle cell disease China may be prone to respiratory disease for some as yet unknown genetic reason.
China liberalized case counts to include clinical diagnoses recently, so the death rate is already much lower
And on top of current skepticism about current data, we still don't know how many cases, or deaths, may not have been counted in the early period of the outbreak.
And we probably never will know.
There were 999 confirmed cases outside China as of this morning. That's what we'll have to watch.
Ukrainian partisan Alexandra Chalupa has spent way too much time in the deep fryer of German hatred, comes out scorching two Jews as Nazis
Why the DNC ever gave this woman a position to import foreign hatreds to American soil tells you everything you need to know about Democrats.
LOL, what a shock: Chicom state capitalism has produced the most severe income inequality in the world, enriching The Party
According to the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the
United States, China has the world’s highest Gini coefficient, a
measurement of inequality. The institute found the gap stemmed from
structural problems with China’s political system. State capitalism has
been effective in fueling growth in the economy, but worsened inequality
because of its inefficient distribution. The downside of China’s state
capitalism has been exposed.
NIH's Anthony Fauci says quarantine of 2,666 passengers and 1,045 crew on Diamond Princess cruise ship wasn't unreasonable but failed
"The quarantine process failed," Fauci said. "I'd
like to sugarcoat it and try to be diplomatic about it, but it failed.
People were getting infected on that ship. Something went awry in the
process of the quarantining on that ship. I don't know what it was, but a
lot of people got infected on that ship."
Whoa, overnight infections with coronavirus onboard quarantined Diamond Princess cruise ship jump again, to 542 as tests come in on more of the 3,700 passengers and crew
Previous recent news reports had indicated approximately only 1,743 of the 3,700 passengers and crew had been tested.
The new test total is now 2,404.
The overall infection rate thus jumps to 14.6%, but the way this is being handled and reported is, let's just say, something only Gunney Highway could properly assess.
Coronavirus cases onboard Diamond Princess cruise ship jump to 454
Infection rate jumps to 12.3%, despite confinement to cabins.

Chicoms report 72,436 cases of coronavirus infection, 1,868 deaths: Death rate rises to 2.57%
Contrast that with the US influenza data for 2017-18:
The overall burden of influenza for the 2017-2018 season was an
estimated 45 million influenza illnesses, 21 million
influenza-associated medical visits, 810,000 influenza-related
hospitalizations, and 61,000 influenza-associated deaths.
Death rate: 0.136%.
Coronavirus is a bfd.
