Walmart has long been the whipping boy of liberals, derided for both its sheer capitalist success and the fact that the company serves so many rural Americans.

In short: Walmart is an effete liberal’s nightmare.

The company that the worst people in America love to hate just did a couple of things that prove them wrong.

In this most dire of economic times, when so many Americans are worried about their jobs, Walmart announced that it would be hiring 150,000 people to handle the coronavirus panic buying.

In the same announcement, the company said it would pay out almost $550 million in bonuses to hourly employees.

The Big Bad Capitalist Behemoth that has long been derided for making too much money now has the money to help people in a time of true crisis.

My ignore list can grow just as fast as the SFB's make up alts.

I have to admit, mine is pretty lengthy.

The RWCJ claims we have to name things based on where they came from...

Will we be naming the upcoming economic calamity the "Trump Depression"?

Excellent

I like Kung Flu.

I like that too and have been hearing it more often. So, how about the "China Kung Flu?" That would help insure that people realize it is the evil government in China that has brought all this horror into the world once again.

Yes, lets blame someone, make it their fault. That way even though the US didn't react to the problem earlier on when the reaction would have made a difference. We will instead ignore and overlook that fact.

No we shall not take ownership of our errors in letting this spread into the general population of the United States, which in the end will lead to thousands and thousands of needless deaths.

Instead we shall look evilly across the great expanse of the Pacific Ocean and make up funny names to call this deadly virus. Pointedly forgetting that a virus doesn't care what it is called, or where it originated. It only does one thing.....infect and reproduce.

But at least the people who are dying of this, will know it was the evil government of the United States that pussy footed around too long to take it seriously.

Currently 19,286 infected in the United States and climbing

Didn't WHO already admonish you Trumplitards about calling China or Wu-Han?

Right, it was only bad when Trump tied it to China.

Here are the hypocrites

I don't know 19,469 infected and 258 death seems bad.

 

[bellisarius]

I don't know 19,469 infected and 258 death seems bad.

And that has what to do with it originating in China?

"Oh! Look, there's a butterfly."

 

[HisArpy]

258 / 19469 = 1.32%

And that's BEFORE we start the Hydroxyplaguinil / Z Pak treatment that's had such effective results.


Personally, I think you're upset because the news out of Italy is that men are twice as likely to die than women across all age groups.

What a pansy assed milque toast you turned out to be.

Fuzz-nuts is now very concerned, cause he heard the people with type eh blood are more susceptible to the virus.

He must be a guy with Typo Eh blood to be THAT "concerned'.

IRL, we call it bawling your eyes out because someone stole your ice cream cone.

 

[Fuzzy1975]

19,652 and the US jumps into fifth place...

Dem Sen. Tim Kaine To Trump: ‘Quit The Inflammatory China-Bashing’
If only Kaine was this outraged when the Chinese state-run media was blaming American soldiers for the virus.

Inflammatory? To whom?

He's just defending his Chinese masters.

We didn't have a chance to act early because the Chinese government covered it up
and simply allowed its nationals to continue to travel the world,
yet somehow, it is our government's fault in general
and Trumps fault in particular and to blame
China, hurts their feelings and should be
avoided at all costs.

Gove me a fucking break. Being Progressive is one thing.
Hating Trump is another thing, but blaming your country
first is just completely beyond the pale.

"The cause is a new disease, COVID-19, caused by a new virus, SARS-CoV-2. At the moment, it is hard to know whether these responses are warranted. How many people are infected and how many of them will die remain unknown. But enough is known to suggest that fear of the unknown, risk aversion, and acute anxiety are influencing these actions."

The fear and suspicion directed at China in the devastating early days of the coronavirus outbreak have made a 180-degree turn: It is the West that now frightens Asia and the rest of the world. The fear and suspicion, of course, were entirely justified, because the Chinese Communist government lied about the existence and scale of the virus, unleashing it on the world. But I’d love to find the insane person who would rather be in Wuhan province or Tehran right now than Ohio or Houston.

There’s a destructive strain of cynicism infecting so much of our media. To contend that the United States was “completely unprepared” for a coronavirus pandemic, as this Politico piece does, or to claim that “America Is Acting Like a Failed State,” as this Atlantic piece does, is journalistic malpractice. I don’t know if these writers, or similarly inclined ones, have some knee-jerk antipathy towards the United States or if partisanship blinds them to state of the world, but none of it aligns with reality.

It’s one thing to be critical of our government’s reaction to the crisis — and there’s fertile ground there, especially when it comes to the bureaucratic impediments that slowed the initial manufacturing of coronavirus tests — and another to talk about the United States as if it were some kind of third-world nation.

Between federal and local programs, the United States spends hundreds of billions of dollars on emergency and disaster preparedness across the country every year. I can’t even find a reliable number to offer for overall spending, because there are so many disparate programs. FEMA alone spends billions per year towards preparedness.

And while may it come as a surprise to some people, the CDC did not erase all of its institutional knowledge and fire every scientist and researcher after the 2016 presidential election. In late 2019, the Global Health Security, a group that evaluates emergency preparedness and health security, ranked the United States first for health-emergency preparedness out of 195 countries. We probably prepared as well as anyone.

You're wasting your time with FUZZY-NUTS, he wants every poster on the GB to believe that Trump concocked this virus *IN HIS SECRET CLOSET* in the oval office. China is innocent of this whole ordeal. Fuzzy hates Trump and as the numbers that test pos increase I can feel FUZZY-NUTS jubilance * AMERICANS ARE DYING AND ITS TRUMP'S FAULT YEEAAAHHHH! That'll teach them trumptards!!

While leftists in the U.S. echoed the Chinese Communist Party in branding President Trump racist for calling the coronavirus Chinese, a virus expert in Italy warned that the Italian government stalled in its response to the virus due to politics and fears of racism — and that stalling cost lives. Regardless of political correctness, the Chinese coronavirus started in China and taking concrete action to ban Chinese travel and to isolate people coming from China has been very effective in curbing the virus's spread.

...

Dr. Giorgio Palù, the former president of the European and Italian Society for Virology and a professor of virology and microbiology at the University of Padova, told CNN that politics and fears of racism hamstrung the Italian government's response.

The government was "lazy in the beginning... too much politics in Italy," Palù said. "There was a proposal to isolate people coming from the epicenter, coming from China. Then it became seen as racist, but they were people coming from the outbreak." This unwillingness to contain people who posed the greatest risk contributed to the devastating situation, he argued.

...

Northern Italy has been hit hardest by the outbreak, and leaders there encouraged behavior that spreads the virus. Dario Nardella, the Mayor of Florence, urged Italians to "hug a Chinese" in early February, warning that coronavirus fears were leading to racism against Chinese people. Nardella, a member of the left-wing Democratic Party, even tweeted a video of himself hugging a Chinese man.

But, by all means, let's not insult the precious, innocent Chinese...
