These politicians were not ready to be proactive as Macau did when the virus was still confined to China and act quick with such threat to spread so fast as this novel (corona)virus does. If Europe won't have an effective decision chain as U.S. has as for instance, we risk to be drown by the increasing nationalism, a setback for our civilization... https://edition.cnn.com/2020/03/14/health/coronavirus-covid-19-flu-comparison-frieden-analysis/index.html The strategy of Boris instead is to create Herd Immunity which will cost many lives no matter what: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/13/herd-immunity-will-the-uks-coronavirus-strategy-work https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/03/coronavirus-pandemic-herd-immunity-uk-boris-johnson/608065/ Seems this is an option on their table. Is this acceptable? : ( This is the level of politicians we have, reason why most of us don't like species of this kind. Call it political motivation as you wish, I'd rather accurately identify it as respect for human life. Here's as mantra and reminder:

This is not a normal flu, unfortunately, the infection power and how fast spreads is tremendously diverse of anything known to date. Without vaccine only quarantine can save lives and billions later on. A day of delay increases exponentially the number of infected. The deadline of this crisis. The amount of infected exceeds the healthcare system at a certain point they're unable to treat everyone in critical condition. The choice between who lives and they let die. This is the lesson to learn from Italian case as of now.

In quarantine. Best way to protect while vaccine doesn't pop up. Thank you for your wishes and let's be realistic, so far so good! LOL Keep yourselves safe! (E : -)

Have you ever watched this one from this famous foreigner (Lars Von Trier) who never visited America because he's afraid to fly despite his successful stories located in your country? May this one serve as inspiration to 'infection' shorts? : ) Well, like it or not, impossible to deny his influence in the contemporary media in general... Sorta foreshadowing ; -)

WOW Is that the way you spend your quarantine period? What's up with your fiancée? Your worry, community's worry where everyone and goodwill are welcome without exception : -)

For sure, I am an avid reader of your content and miss your presence, you well know that : ) Unfortunately not clear to everyone here. I'm afraid Super8 reads everything from me with political bias because we don't exactly share the same angle about US politics : D Sounded irony to him/her I guess because I was used to apply for a different tone other than confrontation, pretending to not follow the hostile vibe. Hence the sarcasm at times. Make my sincere wishes we may handle to clear up the whole thing from now on for once.

Agreed. I openly beg @Super8 to move on from these sterile discussions where hate can be raised. We are all humans, there are no winners nor defeated over such loss of energy and lack of productive attitude. Long life and prosperity to everyone without exceptions : -)

I try to understand you. I obviously don't appreciate your insults. I try to refrain myself to not fight you back in the same tone. There have been a row of misunderstandings since the early beginning, if your memory recalls. You had started to see I am an anti-American when I am not. I am always defending your country to those who don't like America. Even Trump, I would never give my vote to him. But... I see the guy is smart (not meant as a smart ass, OK?), the Economy is going well, even though, with a country as U.S.A. is not hard to make it happen instead. Ban to Europe flights has all my support, I am no one to grant it whatsoever : D I'd just do the same. I obviously can't approve the dating to UK and it's not hard to see the hypocrisy on that political motivation behind. However, he is the President of the United States of America, not of Europe. If you'll read attentively my remark to Glenn Mercer I regret the fact we don't have the same privilege. Reason why we're living hard times today on COVID-19 in Europe. The case of Mad Mike, I firmly regret some human life loss. It happened there, but it could have happened anywhere. No country to blame. Do you think so? It's a pity such aggressive vibe. He/She looks like to believe in God, so let's hope this may change in the future to come. We are here to enjoy each other, not the reverse : -)

Hope you too. But you should review your attitude against who you merely don't like to read from if so, it's not healthy at all. This post shows another face of you. May this bring some light to your rain of bad vibe, man, no one here is willing to shoot you. Don't behave as a dick. Once you love to classify people in lockers, here's one from my native one: "you don't want to be a beast, don't wear the wolf's skin".

Is she with fever? Your brother's? Maybe they have no the virus... Symptoms are common to a regular flu as we all know. Let's still think positive : ) Even if confirmed, don't forget the chances of recovery smash the leftover: 85% against 15% over 80s so keep yourself optimist as well your beloved ones.

Call me idiot again, it's a compliment coming from someone like you. Didn't you understand it yet? ; ) Where did I speak in the name of United States? You can't, I can? C'mon... Don't you allow me to praise the country you say it's yours too?! Really? * cough cough * You're a bunch of insults bag. You disrespect the truth when you dare to say I "have very little respect of Americans" with LIES you're defied but unable to show as evidences of your argument. So weak it is. Shame on you not for that, your arrogance and falsehood anyway. Don't dare to put yourself in the same bag of good people you are NOT. There are good Americans and people like you from your input. A bit B&W your show becomes. Not Fuji's though : D Really sad to watch. Your entry CANNOT be confounded with theirs, I can assure you, I am in touch with them several times a day. It's a pity you come here thinking you represent anything. You represent yourself and is your disgrace. You can't speak on behalf of any country, not even yours, if you're not entitled to. As authority you are not, your credential's worth is null. If no one had informed you or, oh well, you didn't pay attention to. The whole point is your way of thinking and methodology don't represent anyone else except you. You in theory could speak on behalf of the planet you live because there's no authority enough on Earth to represent it nor exactly an agenda you serve for the subject matter so it would be rather pointless, but I doubt any one of us would appreciate you there. I bet not even an alien spaceship would take you if you'd ever find one in the least wild of your dreams.

I don't need to live in U.S.A. to also be based there helping the payroll of American workers among U.S. citizens many of them and contributing to your economy by the way. Without mention to help spreading the good name of America when I succeed to with my humble contribution as happens right nowadays. Really? Who else then? Some ultra like you I haven't noticed yet over here? LOL Show me. Or you infer any criticism* to the actual politics is a crime against U.S.A.? ; -) * constructive criticism BTW

Indeed. Sorry to have felt to write it : ) But I can't stand certain voices who think they are owners of something which actually belongs to many more people than they intend to : -)

It's not an obsession, don't try to diminish the other side. Pay attention to Bias : D I work and deal every day with U.S.A., to begin with. I have interests on US. You know, that stuff coming from hard work? That stuff... ; ) I was raised in the American culture. I was used to watch Bonanza, there were no even plans of your existence on this planet yet very likely, I guess, not science : ) I am not you who thinks to know everything about the other part. I have too little to speak about my own country. That's not true though. I refer my native country much more than U.S. anyway. And I NEVER write anything against US. It's a piece of shit this nonsense a few of ultras are used to imagine: You're not entitled to speak on behalf of US. Period. What have you done for your country? Are you any U.S. authority by any chance? Simply pathetic such pretentious attitude. The country doesn't belong to you if you didn't notice yet... You wish ; ) LOL The country belongs to all who can proudly be part of it! Not to a minority. This excels the beauty of what made America. Especially when you are addressing words to someone based in U.S.A. as well. With many friends much more patriotic than you who don't give to the world the worst portrait of your country. Shame on that! Is this the stuff you don't like to read from me? Is where your hate stands? This standpoint speaks volumes instead. Your sad picture, not the one you shoot before to even ask about. Clueless.

It doesn't make any sense to me your approach. Not about the content now. Ain't you a democrat (different to be a Democratic Party supporter for the matter) lover just for the record? I have nothing against your political comments. I just notice you have always something to say if you see or think someone else makes the same as you. Just sayin' but doesn't seem to me very democrat indeed. You also infer who you feel is not with you, is against you, doesn't love your beloved America. FYI I love U.S.A., I loved Reagan (well, I must confess I was his fan as cowboy even before his administration LOL) as much as Clinton. I appreciate Jimmy Carter's integrity and I have a weakness for Obama. Last but not least, I learnt to sympathize with Bush, the son. And I even defended the father also when he was accused to not behave accordingly the most conservative rules as far as the female world concerns. He was old then. So, which means we need to try to globally comprehend the whole thing. Bias like fear, is a bitch ; -)

He already know it was addressed to me now, even though you don't like what he writes anyway. Why to desperately try to accuse some other side to go political even when not (like my case a few weeks ago) when it is exactly your game?

Amigo, very true, oh well, me not you, he accused me of something again, this time on my totally friendly comments (as usual BTW) addressed to mercer... LOL : -)

I try my best, my friend : ) When do you realize this is a friendly community and the only and most uncalled thing many of us have the fortune to see here as well is to not mistreat each other but with respect? This includes do not start to guess someone's else mind and kindly ask when we don't understand. We can only intend to have our point of view respected if we are able to give the same in reciprocity ; -)

Not idea if you actually had that in mind to follow my analogy... But that one to reach the minute of such piece is beyond to match the text in point of fact ; ) Certain human attitude applies when they see so many to surround the area, they shoot in every directions they can as the only way they know to handle the supposed adversary they built... ; -)

For what? The most funny is so am I the bully and not you trying to also attract followers to your cause then?? LOL What's the name of it, humm? : X The more you post the more is possible to see how lost you invariably are about my intentions and posting or yet whatever else to be honest to you. Sad to see it. Don't think I am glad to write it if I can expect anything from you. I've always had a friendly vibe with Glenn FYI (as many others here BTW) and it is a dirty filthy job you infer something on the contrary. When do you stop this little game of revenge trying to distort and decontextualize ANY words of mine still many weeks later in a row? I'm sorry I can't help you out. Yeah, you're the ONLY one here to ask for irony (oh the sarcasm) from my side now. Wonder why? ; -)

Stop to spread hate. Your issues against my persona are well known, dude. This tactic now to feed up the rumor is anything you look for but doesn't dignify you. You try, you always receive a response you don't like. How many threads you need this time? Grow up for once. Do I need to post them and embarrass you?

I know the sensitive soul you've always expressed through your posting. The stats are the numbers of the pandemic so far. Here's a good source already posted earlier: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

I like you, Glenn, and respect you. If I appreciate to be polite with everyone here, imagine with you! Because there are so many Europes... and a free healthcare system won't handle a gross amount of infected people, so doctors will decide who live and let die. This is a terrible tragedy! Two commercial airplanes per day crash in Italy these days. If one would already be a great disaster per se... A considerable percentage will require mechanical ventilation (stats confirm it) and there's not even enough number of ventilators for everyone. https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/what-if-two-covid-19-victims-need-ventilators-and-just-one-is-available/

Nothing about that : ) Just a distant idea from the real Europe(s), that's it : -)

I'm sorry, I hate to sound rude (you don't even deserve it!) but you have no idea what you're talking about. There's a percentage who will need it. Stats say it. The higher amount of infected people brings all that, unfortunately. Again, Europe is not USA. We have healthcare for free, yes, but we have no those resources of your own. No fancy hospitals, no female doctors on high heels... ; ) Have you ever been in Europe, Glenn? Please answer this. Not glamour Paris, Rome or London for American tourists. Those towns are "NOT" Europe for Christ's sake!
