I said nothing whatsoever about a wall.......but I digress.

No, but others of your political persuasion have. The federal government had an opportunity to test more people than we have, but they dropped the ball. The only increased border security that would have helped would have been to test every person coming off of every plane and every boat, but the tests are only good for those that are showing symptoms. You can be infected for a week before showing symptoms.

So you're answering a question that wasn't even asked or Implied? Well that's a special presumptuous kind of stupid in and of itself.

And btw, I have zero political persuasion......you don't follow along real well do you?

You claim that, but yet you only push the propaganda of one side.

You should read more and " cut and paste " less.....im not here to push anything, except stupidity off a cliff.

You provide a lot of that wyl.e.

Ah, silly me. I forgot that you're an expert in everything and don't need other experts to inform you on what is going on.

That's not true.

I don't know. The reaction from some who get a lotta' media attention, or are the media, regarding any mention of the virus having originated in China (which it absolutely did) and brought here to the U.S. is racist and xenophobic and anyone who says such a thing is a heartless SOB. There is plenty of video proof of those allegations being made dating all the way back to when a travel ban was imposed on China.

I was in no way saying you're a racist, xenophobe or heartless. I was merely making the point that you would be labeled as such for having the audacity to point out the obvious truth that the coronavirus is a foreign virus that was brought here by some unsuspecting carriers, and some of those carriers were foreign.

What's being labeled as racist is calling it the Wuhan Virus instead of Covid-19 or coronavirus. There are unfortunate cases of scared Americans beating people up just because they're Asian.

I'm an expert on knowing what I say and believe in.....other than that I try and learn something new everyday.
No way in hell IM letting a jughead like you tell me what my political views are or should be....you can't even keep your own straight.

Just because I choose not to let don lemon tell me what expert I should listen to doesn't at all mean I don't do my research and form my own opinion from that diligence.

You should try it

[Clayton_Wetters]

Quit trying to politicize everything. This has nothing to do with politics. It is totally about slowing down a WORLD-WIDE epidemic.

Sorry but you are only 100% wrong.

Figuratively Sounds a lot like what the dems are doing just because people are republican, independents or libertarian.

They have no real beef or knowledge why they do it , they do it solely because the people they are beating on don't subscribe to their views and it's what they are taught to do when that happens.

[Barbecueboy]

Epidemic and pandemic are different......and it's not world wide.

[Clayton_Wetters]

The border wall wouldn't have stopped this. It flew in from Asia and Europe and we were behind on testing and haven't even come close to catching up. The US has tested 11,000 people in total whereas South Korea tests 10,000 people a day.

The wall can and will stop many infected people from bringing it in as well as all of the other diseases, drugs, and criminals that are part of the attempted invasion. Supported (even financially) by the globalists of the world.

Common sense demands the wall shut down all of the crossings possible.

The cynicism is driving me crazy. Folks keep blaming the media then they defend their argument by quoting stats that they heard on the news.
I watch all the "fake news" channels and from the start they have said you probably won't get it and if you do you probably won't die. I've heard don't panic, but be cautious. I've heard that on MSNBC.

The president's message on Wednesday night definitely had some racist undertones. If you don't think it did then you are probably the reason he said the stuff.

Sorry for your feelings.
