I came across this article this morning. Politico.com is not some chinese or russian propaganda website.

https://www.politico.com/news/2020/0...navirus-207244

It frightens me because it brings back memories of the Iraq war. US had one objective, and it was able to to fool the entire world to go to war based on a lie. If you read and listen to major headlines at the moment, it is pretty obvious this is happening again (except we do not know if it is lies or fact yet), and what is more frightening is that our leaders are somewhat lubing us up, making accusations based on flimsy or no evidence, and its often from anonymous official sources based on classified documents that our own politicians aren't allowed to access.

Every time I read one of these headlines it gives me anxiety issues. Obvious thing to do is to "not look", but its bloody hard not to get bombarded every time you turn on the tv or the PC.
Without a doubt the poo is going to hit the fan soon. Countries need to be mindful how they act and speak until the facts are 100% and backed by multiple sources, not someone with an agenda.

Its not a good look that the last two major outbreaks have come from a particular region of the world.

Dont recall Africa or India having the issue and it getting out of control, but I am yet to research or have my care factor get to that point.
