    You are depending on China because international corporations including American ones moved their production to places like China in order to cut production costs like labour and avoid environmental standards.
    It is what corporations do in an unregulated environment.

    You do know that JFK was predominantly a leftist, right? Especially after the folly of the missile crisis made him aware how dangerous his cold warrior posturing was becoming.

    That speech was screaming collectivism and common good which you guys all hate.

    "
    John F. Kennedy’s inaugural address inspired children and adults to see the importance of civic action and public service. His historic words, “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country,” challenged every American to contribute in some way to the public good. In this lesson, students learn about a theme in President Kennedy’s inaugural address, civic action, and consider how it applies to their own lives.

    During his inaugural speech on Jan. 20, 1961, U.S. President John F. Kennedy uttered the challenge, “And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.” Its simple meaning was to challenge society to contribute to improve the public good. But I think there’s a bigger message here, and that is that we have to work together as a society to improve our collective state. And because of that, I think the statement has a lot to tell us about community building in general and for open source communities certainly."

    Trump did shut down flights from China a while ago and yes, the left played the xenophobia card. Now flights from other countries have been **** down. And yeah, they are mumbling xenophobia again.

    Note that xenophobia may, like quid pro quo be a bit too much, so look for them to start using 'racist' soon, the ChiComms already have.

    Oh please. JFK would be considered to be dramatically to the right of Tulsi Gabbard, and so he wouldn't even be allowed to run for office in today's radical leftist dominated Dem Party.

    I'm assuming by 'billy goat" you mean Clinton. Yeah, agreed. It is why I am always saying that corporate democrats are hardly "liberal" but rule on the right often with disastrous consequences. Don't forget that it was Clinton who abolished the Glass/Steagall regulations on investment banking which directly led to 2008.

    The idiocy of this post is made abundantly clear when you realize that the folks most likely to believe trump said the virus is a hoax and that it is actually a hoax (as opposed to just thinking he is a ****ing moron who lies) are trump supporters.

    Prepare by making sure you are educated about the virus, know some basic techniques for minimizing your risk/ability to spread, and by having enough food and water that you could quarantine yourself for 2-3 weeks without needing to make to make a trip to the pharmacy or the grocery store (or needing those delivered to you).

    The Dem party is ruled by radical leftists? Soros? Bloomburg? Biden? I think these people are only leftest to the radical alt.right/tea party/Trumper evolution.

    I think if you go back and study JFK's platforms on civil rights, the american armament industry, repealing the oil allowance program, creation of civil corp etc.,etc., you will find that he is quite liberal.

    And after the missile crisis he was quite prepared to negotiate nuclear and other disarmament treaties with the SU. Khrushchev was apparently crying inconsolably when Jack was assassinated because of the opportunity for peace that was lost.

    It is not rational to believe foreigners pose a risk which is greater than the threat posed by Americans.

    So . . . follow the CDC's guidelines and use common sense. See? No problem. It's the flu season. Treat it accordingly.

    Keep crying, its all you folks have. Tell us another doom and gloom prophesy, I was pretty underwhelmed by WWIII, remember when you folks promised that? Remember how may times you folks have cried wolf. Only an idiot would take what you progs say with any seriousness...

    Trump stepped away from calling it a hoax. You should learn.

    I take issue with all liberal crying wolf nonsense. You folks can't be trusted, and you've proved every chance you've had since Trump was inaugurated. Only a fool would take your nonsense seriously...

    Not the dems reactions. The virus never was and it’s serious, and serious people are working on it. This won’t last three years like Ebola
