CLOSE THE FUCKING BORDER

how?

seriously...the fucktwat democrats "resist" EVERY SINGLE THING Trump does...if you can't admit that then you are obviously on some really good drugs (can you inform me of the combination??? I really feel the need to totally lose touch with reality sometimes and I've never found a combo that truly does that for me)

don't mistake me, I wholeheartedly agree with your sentiments, but being real there are issues far beyond just closing the borders...and just how effective would that be anyway? being real, it's far too late to stop what may or may not come, it got out and that can be blamed on the filthy Chicoms (in more ways than one most likely)

my biggest concern at this moment is the reported reinfections...that is a real scary proposition there...if people are not building an immunity to it then that's real, real, bad news

It's likely that reinfections are about 14% as have been reported which would be consistent with relapse into viral pneumonia and the idea that it is mutating so quickly that people are catching a mutation.

If dems block the border closing they will get politically eviscerated from their own side who are mostly weak, sickly and infirm people anyway, they are scared of this thing big time, blocking a border closing would cinch this thing for trump. A challenge to the closing would be rescinded in hours.

We are all likely to get sick from it in our lifetimes even if we close the border; the goal is to slow it down so that we can prevent everyone from getting sick all at once clogging up the medical system resulting in a massive spike in deaths and fucking up productivity and the markets with annual quarantines.

If we can delay it long enough to develop a vaccine the R0 will go down dramatically when we inoculate the population. This virus is "novel" meaning until december no one had been infected with a virus that uses the mechanisms of infection this one uses so no person on earth had any antibodies/immunity to it, our immune systems are based on having prior experience with similar viruses that's why a vaccine even only 50% effective would halve the Rate of infection(R0) from something like 3 new infections on average to 1.5 making this thing no less deadly in and of itself but reducing spread and fatalities and ease of quarantine, with successive generations of infection conferred immunity will build and this thing will just become a common flu season bug.

The danger is in collapsing the medical supply lines and occupying all of the beds and respirators in hospitals in the meantime.
